Canadian governments invest in Maple Leaf Foods’ bacon production facility

The Canada and Manitoba governments are investing $500,000 in an expansion project that will increase bacon production at Maple Leaf Food’s Winnipeg, Canada, facility by 8 million kilograms every year.

“The meat sector is a great source of pride and prosperity to many Canadians,” says federal agriculture minister Lawrence MacAulay. “Part of the federal government’s plan to support the agriculture sector is to be a leader in job creation and innovation. I am pleased to announce this strategic investment that will mean more top-quality Canadian bacon in grocery aisles in Canada and across the world.”
