Food Centre receives funding to enhance co-packaging capacity

Mar 16, 2023

The Food Centre was pleased to have the Honourable Gudie Hutchings, Minister of Rural Economic Development, on behalf of the Honourable Dan Vandal, Minister for PrairiesCan, announce a federal investment at the Food Centre today – over $10.2 million investment in agri-food and advanced manufacturing innovation, and community revitalization.

The Food Centre is thrilled to be one of the many recipients! The funding we received will increase the Food Centre’s co-packing capacity for the agri-food sector in Saskatchewan, in specific areas such as packaging, condiment production, snack food processing, milling, modified ingredient scale-up, ingredient isolation & purification, and R&D services in plant-based food sector. We are looking forward to leading the innovation and commercialization opportunities for Saskatchewan’s agri-food sector into the future.

It was a pleasure touring Minister Hutchings through our facility and participating in an impromptu sensory of some delicious extruded pulse snacks!
