Short answer: every Canadian grocery store carries Tenderflake, usually $3 to $7 for 454 g, but its label reads pure lard plus BHA, BHT and citric acid as preservatives. For one-ingredient lard, look to butchers, farms and online sellers: leaf lard from small farms runs about $18 a pint jar, and Rise’s Premium Pure Lard from Canadian pork is $25.95.

Grocery lard or pure lard?
Tenderflake is fine for most baking and is the cheapest. The difference is the preservatives (BHA and BHT) and how the fat is rendered. Bakers who want a clean-tasting pastry fat, or people avoiding additives, choose leaf lard or one-ingredient lard.
