Food-grade gases for food & beverage processing
Welders Supply & Gases supplies food-grade carbon dioxide and nitrogen to food and beverage businesses across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. Our Scarborough facility provides gas cylinders, refills and delivery for breweries, restaurants and food manufacturers. We also supply liquid nitrogen for food-processing applications, with supply arrangements checked against your equipment and production requirements.
Gas supply for food & beverage operations
A restaurant needs CO₂ available through its busiest service. A food manufacturer may use most of its nitrogen during a few scheduled packaging runs. We arrange supply around those differences. Tell us how much gas you use between orders, when your business receives deliveries and whether upcoming production changes will affect demand.

Gas applications in food & beverage processing
Gas solutions for different food & beverage businesses
- Breweries & beverage producers
We supply food-grade CO₂ for breweries and beverage manufacturers, including requirements for carbonation, purging and filling operations. Orders can account for regular production and larger packaging runs. Where your process uses nitrogen or a beverage-gas blend, include that requirement separately so the grade and composition can be checked.
- Restaurants & foodservice businesses
Restaurants, cafés and bars can order beverage-grade CO₂ for soda fountains, sparkling-water systems and suitable draught-beer setups. We also handle enquiries for beverage-gas mixtures. Share your current cylinder size and how often it needs replacing to discuss refills, exchanges or delivery to your premises.
- Food manufacturers & processors
We supply food-grade gases for food-processing facilities using nitrogen or CO₂ in packaging and other approved processes. For a new production line, send the equipment’s gas requirements with your enquiry. For an existing operation, your current gas specification and consumption records provide a useful starting point.
- Food packaging operations
A packaging line needs the specified gas at the required flow and pressure throughout a run. Include those requirements when requesting nitrogen gas for food packaging or a specified MAP mixture. Tell us about planned changes in output so the supply arrangement can be reviewed before the line takes on additional work.

Testimonials
Food-grade gas quality & safety
Order the grade specified for the food or beverage application. Include any product specifications or documentation your quality team needs before the first delivery, and ask which supporting records are available for the gas being supplied.
Read the Safety Data Sheet for each gas or mixture. CO₂ can accumulate in enclosed areas, and releases of CO₂ or nitrogen can create dangerous atmospheres. Liquid nitrogen also presents severe cold-contact hazards. Follow your workplace procedures for ventilation, storage and handling, together with the equipment manufacturer’s instructions and applicable WHMIS requirements.
FAQs
What should I check when ordering food-grade gas?
Specify the gas, intended food or beverage use and the grade required by your process. For mixtures, include the composition. Share any supplier-approval or documentation requirements from your quality team before placing the order. For new equipment, include the manufacturer’s gas specification so the supply can be checked against it.
Do you supply food-grade CO₂ for breweries and restaurants?
Yes. We supply food- and beverage-grade CO₂ for breweries, restaurants, bars and other beverage businesses. Applications include carbonation, soda fountains and suitable draught systems. Let us know your current cylinder size and approximate consumption so we can discuss the available refill, exchange or delivery arrangements.
Can you supply nitrogen for modified atmosphere packaging?
Yes. We supply food-grade nitrogen for packaging applications. Send the required nitrogen grade and your packaging equipment’s supply requirements with the enquiry. Where the process calls for a mixture containing CO₂ or another gas, include the approved composition so our team can check availability before quoting.
Can one gas mixture be used for every food product?
Gas requirements differ between products. A mixture suitable for a dry snack may be unsuitable for chilled prepared food or fresh produce. Packaging material and storage conditions also affect the result. Use a gas specification supported by product-specific testing, and review it when the product or packaging process changes.
Do you supply liquid nitrogen for food freezing?
We supply liquid nitrogen for food-processing applications, including suitable freezing and cooling equipment. Provide the equipment model, required supply format and estimated consumption when requesting a quote. Our team will check the available supply arrangements for your facility. Equipment operation should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and your workplace safety procedures.
Can you refill or exchange an existing CO₂ cylinder?
Refill and exchange services are available. Before bringing in a cylinder for the first time, contact us with its size, ownership details and intended use. The team can check eligibility and confirm the available service. Make clear that the order requires food- or beverage-grade CO₂.
