Dishwasher detergent in powder in Quebec? (sh.itjust.works)

Does anybody know of any dishwasher detergent made in Canada or anywhere but the US that can be bought in the province of Quebec?

YSK that the Finish detergent sold in QC is most likely made in the US

I found in the shelves a box of the Finish brand but it didnt say where it was made, it just said "imported by Reckitt".

Looking for information about Reckitt I found that is an European brand BUT according to this page:

https://homegeargeek.com/where-is-finish-dishwasher-detergent-made/

"Another important manufacturing hub for Finish dishwasher detergent is in the United States. With a growing market in North America, the brand established a production facility in Chesapeake, Virginia. This U.S. manufacturing plant caters not only to domestic demand but also exports its products to other countries across the Americas."

At the end I didnt find a Canadian detergent in powder, but I found one in tablets from a brand named "TruEarth" and another one from the "Unscented Company". That will have to do until I can find one in powder.

Edit: Thank you all for the recommendations, I will let you know how the truearth tablets work for me and after that I will probably give a try to nellies :)

I haaate how many brands have switched to those stupid little detergent pods. My local grocery store only has like one brand that still has powder and it's American.

Will definitely take a look into the 'Unscented Company.' Edit: Ah, looks like they only have those 'tabs.' I like the power because you can measure it out.

There was a video on the youtube channel Technology Connections that went viral a few years ago spreading the gospel of the merits of dishwasher powder.

Hopefully the pod trend will reverse! You can use appropriate levels of cleaner and get a better job done of cleaning done for less! No tradeoff.
