December 17, 2014 – Toronto, Ontario – Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada
Member of Parliament Bernard Trottier (Etobicoke—Lakeshore), on behalf of Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz, today announced an investment of $67,000 to Zpirit Foods to help broaden the market reach of their unique line of health beverages.
Zpirit Foods is commercializing a new-to-industry health beverage containing real fruit, water, herbs and spices. This federal investment will be used by the company to acquire and install a new fully automated fruit-filling machine, help improve production processes, and expand its market reach. This project will create jobs and increase the demand for canned fruit, lemon concentrate, refined sugar, and fresh herbs.
