Plant‑based products

Almost two Canadians in five intend to continue to buy plant-based alternatives, but price remains the number one hurdle.

HALIFAX, NS. (April 27, 2023) – Plant-based products have been around for a very long time in Canada, but sales and promotions have intensified over the last five years.
