Ernest D'Israeli Smith (December 8, 1853 – October 15, 1948) was a Canadian businessman and politician who founded a food company that bears his name.

He was born in the hamlet of Winona, part of Saltfleet Township (which became Stoney Creek)[2] on Ontario's Niagara Peninsula.

His wife, Christina Ann Smith, was the first president of the Women’s Institute in Stoney Creek, which was also organized by Adelaide Hoodless[1] and Erland and Janet Lee.

An expansion to Britain was foiled by the start of the First World War, and continued fruit sales in Canada were reduced by the Great Depression of the 1930s.

In October 2007, it became a wholly owned subsidiary of TreeHouse Foods, Inc. Its current product line includes jams & spreads, syrups, pie fillings, ketchup, sauces, and salad dressings.
