Kevin Benner reposted thisKevin Benner reposted thisWe’re excited to welcome Filotea to our portfolio — a brand that celebrates the craftsmanship and tradition of authentic Italian pasta. 🇮🇹🍝 Filotea’s Traditional Egg Pasta is artisan-made with fresh eggs and Italian ingredients, then slow-dried at low temperatures for at least 24 hours, creating a light, rough and porous texture that holds sauces beautifully. The collection also features Specialty Pasta, infused with flavours such as Black Truffle, Lemon, and Garlic & Parsley, alongside the Matasse collection of traditional Italian egg pasta cuts. Completing the assortment is Filotea’s Durum Wheat Pasta, crafted in the Marche region from 100% Italian durum wheat semolina, bronze-drawn and slow-dried for its signature sauce-holding texture. A collection rooted in Italian ingredients, artisan craftsmanship and a passion for exceptional pasta. Nous sommes ravis d’accueillir Filotea dans notre gamme — une marque qui met à l’honneur le savoir-faire artisanal et la tradition des pâtes italiennes authentiques. 🇮🇹🍝 Les pâtes aux œufs traditionnelles de Filotea sont fabriquées de manière artisanale à partir d’œufs frais et d’ingrédients italiens, puis séchées lentement à basse température pendant au moins 24 heures, ce qui leur confère une texture légère, rugueuse et poreuse qui retient à merveille les sauces. La gamme comprend également des pâtes spéciales, aromatisées à la truffe noire, au citron ou à l’ail et au persil, ainsi que la collection Matasse, composée de formats traditionnels de pâtes aux œufs italiennes. L’assortiment est complété par les pâtes au blé dur de Filotea, fabriquées dans la région des Marches à partir de semoule de blé dur 100 % italienne, tréfilées au bronze et séchées lentement pour obtenir cette texture caractéristique qui retient parfaitement la sauce. Une collection ancrée dans les ingrédients italiens, le savoir-faire artisanal et la passion pour des pâtes d’exception. #Filotea #MadeInItaly #ItalianPasta #ArtisanPasta #ItalianFood #PremiumFoods #FoodIndustry #ItalianTradition

And today, we are finally ready to share the result: ✨the first strawberry wafer in Loacker’s history.✨ 🚫No shortcuts. 🚫No flavourings. 🚫No colourings. 🚫No compromises.

Very excited to introduce the first-ever instore FORTINOS Popcorn Kitchen, now open at our Quarry Edge location in Brampton! This new program is all about bringing a little more freshness, theatre and fun to our customers shopping experience ............with popcorn freshly popped right instore! We launched with 7 different flavours: • Classic Movie Style • Lite Pop • White Cheddar • Double Cheezy Cheddar • Chicago Style • Caramel Crunch • Sweet & Salty Kettle *Made fresh in small batches *Popped with coconut oil *Premium mushroom kernels *Available in multiple bag sizes One of the things I love most about this program is that customers can actually see the popcorn being made. The sights, the smell and the activity around the Popcorn Kitchen create an experience that you simply dont get from a traditional packaged product. A big thank you to Jennifer Limbo, Jessica, Marco and the entire Quarry Edge team, along with everyone who helped take this idea from concept to reality, Karolina, Tony Talarico, Francisco Paul Scavone and our amazing partners at Wonderland Foods Laurens Gerlings, Sean and Fatima.

Kevin Benner liked thisKevin Benner liked thisRecently, we spent the day making our family’s tomato sauce…lots of tomatoes, lots of work, lots of laughs, and of course, lots of food along the way. And it all started with a trip to Fortinos…beautiful Roma tomatoes, fresh basil plants, and even the jar lids I realized at the last minute I still needed! No sauce making day is complete without a good lunch either…our freshly made tortilla chips & dip, Pane Fresco pizza, fresh bread and a few other favourites to keep everyone going. The best part was having the kids involved and sharing a tradition that has been passed down through our family. From Roma tomatoes to the pot to rows of jars and finally, a bowl of pasta with fresh basil. A pretty perfect way to wrap up summer…family, tradition, great food and memories made together. 🍅 🍝

Here's the state of play: we're building the platform that lets data owners punch way above their weight in Commerce Media. No retail giant budget needed. We're hiring. We're about to kick off our seed raise. And this week, we're in front of the investors who get why this matters now. If you're in Toronto this week: investor, operator, future teammate, or just someone who wants to talk commerce media and agentic buying, find me. I'll be circling Meridian Hall and the St. Lawrence Centre most of the week. Don't wait for a mutual connection to make the intro. DM me. Let's make this the most productive three days of the festival. KYBER1 is just getting started. Come build it with us. #ElevateFest2026 #ElevateFestival #KYBER1 #CommerceMediaNetwork #SeedRound #Toronto

Kevin Benner liked thisKevin Benner liked thisName a more iconic duo. We’ll wait… 🥜🍓 Excited to see #Skrewball Peanut Butter & Strawberry Jelly Flavored Whiskey launch in the U.S., bringing the iconic PB&J pairing from the sandwich to the sip. This marks the brand’s first flavour innovation since it pioneered the peanut butter whiskey category in 2018. Combining Skrewball’s signature peanut butter whiskey with strawberry jelly, it offers a playful and unexpected reimagining of the classic PB&J duo. Playful, distinctive and unmistakably Skrewball – all packed into one tiny can! Congratulations to the North American Distillers team behind another brilliant innovation. https://lnkd.in/e552VYxA

Kevin Benner liked thisKevin Benner liked thisI’m really excited about what we’re rolling out at Zehrs today!!! Across 10 stores in Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge, we’re lowering prices on over 3,000 grocery and fresh products our customers shop for every week! For me, what makes this especially meaningful is that we’re delivering better value while continuing to offer the fresh food, quality and service our customers know us for. That means great prices across the grocery aisles and in fresh — while continuing to deliver the service our customers count on, from our butchers cutting meat in-store and our bakeries making fresh food every day, to a friendly and convenient checkout experience and colleagues who are proud to serve and connect with the communities we call home. Because value shouldn’t have to come with a trade-off. Our customers should be able to get the prices they’re looking for AND the fresh, quality and service they expect from Zehrs. A lot of work has gone into bringing this to life, and I’m incredibly proud of our teams and colleagues who made it happen. Most importantly, I’m excited for our customers in Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge to experience it for themselves. Lower prices. The Zehrs experience our customers know and love. Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen!

If ham products are part of your food service offerings, deli items or ingredient stock, this is important to review. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has issued a recall for Harvest Brand ham products due to undeclared wheat. Food businesses and individuals should review inventories, remove affected products from use and follow recall instructions. Recalled products should not be consumed, used, sold or distributed, particularly by individuals with a wheat allergy or sensitivity. Prompt action helps reduce potential health risks and supports public health protection across food service, retail and home settings.

8 in 10 coffee servings now include sugar, syrup, or milk, making personalization a baseline expectation. Canadian consumers are moving beyond the classics, seeking bold, indulgent flavours that deliver both comfort and novelty. This presents a strategic opportunity for operators to innovate without adding operational complexity. Visually appealing drinks can drive engagement and social traction, but busy service hours often make execution challenging. We recommend pumpable syrups and sauces for consistent flavour and reduced prep time, along with shelf-stable ingredients from trusted suppliers to minimize waste.
