Vachon, Inc., is a Canadian maker of popular snack pastries. Vachon was owned by Saputo Inc. between 1999 and 2015, and has been owned since 2015 by Canada Bread.

Vachon was founded by Joseph-Arcade and Rose-Anna Vachon Giroux in 1923 when the couple left his home village of Saint-Patrice-de-Beaurivage to develop a bakery in Sainte-Marie-de-Beauce in Quebec.

Brands include:

  • May West
  • Jos. Louis
  • Passion Flakie
  • Ah Caramel!
  • ½ Moon (sometimes misinterpreted as "½ Lune Moon" due to Vachon's French-first bilingual packaging)
  • Hostess (Canada only) - including Twinkies
