We at Select continue to be  impressed with French’s  wholehearted commitment to source and manufacture in Canada and give back to Canadians through their charitable ventures,” says Mitchell.

“This win-win partnership with French’s enables us to add more high-quality jobs and make a positive difference in our community.  We are proud to work closely with French’s to provide made-in-Canada ketchup.”

As part of the partnership Select Food Products will be responsible for producing all bottles of French’s Ketchup sold in Canada for The French’s Food Company.

French’s and Select Food will use tomatoes from local farmers and the partnership will help establish a fully integrated supply chain that leverages Canadian suppliers wherever possible.

The partnership has also enabled Select Food to hire 10 more production and management employees, and it will increase opportunities for Select Food to grow its business and hire more staff in the future.

The project was supported with a $75,000 investment from the Greenbelt Fund, in partnership with the government of Ontario.

Select Food has more than 75 years of experience in the sauce and condiment space. The company manufactures a wide variety of BBQ, salsas, salad dressings, mustards, mayonnaises, gravies, specialty sauces and condiments and ketchup. The Select brand is well known in the Foodservice industry in Canada.
