Becel is a well-known brand of margarine and other plant-based spreads. It was originally introduced in the Netherlands by Unilever in 1963. The brand was developed as a healthier alternative to butter, with the aim to support cardiovascular health by providing products that are low in saturated fats. 

Becel was introduced to the Canadian market in the late 1970s. In Canada, Becel offers a range of products, which include original, light, and vegan spreads, formulated to cater to various dietary requirements and preferences. Becel is committed to promoting heart health and often works in collaboration with health organisations to raise awareness about the benefits of a balanced diet combined with an active lifestyle.
