Soup can even be medicinal – the good ole’ chicken noodle soup. In many cultures soup is a breakfast food; In Japan, the day is started with a bowl of miso soup or fish broth with rice. In France, the kids would eat leftover home-made soup before going to school.

The stars even love soup; Frank Sinatra asked for chicken and rice soup to be in his dressing room before he went on stage.

But did you know...

The earliest archeological evidence for soup dates back to 6000 BC and it was hippopotamus soup!

Chef Wayne

Corporate Executive Chef, Foodbuy

The history of soup dates back to the late 1700’s. The story goes that a French King was so full of himself that he had his royal chefs create a soup that would allow him to see his own reflection in the bowl...sound like anyone you may know, as a result, consommé (clear broth) was born.

PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENTS Nitrile - Gaining market prominence On January 1, 2019, a pricing increase will be implemented on the product category of Nitrile.

This is a result of several factors including the popularity of the product in the marketplace. As demand continues to rise, there is increased pressure on capacity development.

Handgards is working to minimize impact by evaluating supply sources and production options while investigating new synthetic raw materials, ensuring the right products for the right tasks while providing more prevalent pricing.

We recommend cost avoidance options such as vinyl to mitigate this price adjustment.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS Ready to Drink Tea A growing category in cold beverages Ready-to-drink tea is a growing category across all channels and regions in Canada with sales growth especially apparent in the premium category.

Bottled brewed teas such as Pure Leaf and Gold Peak as an impulse item is a great tactic for incremental sales!

Ready-to-drink tea heavily over indexes with meal occasions and should be merchandised adjacent to salads, sandwiches, fruits and dips. When it comes to flavour profile, Lemon has the most unduplicated reach among tea drinkers, followed by Peach, and Green (Unsweetened).
