I recently visited Canada. We stopped in a convenience store in Quebec, the French-speaking province. A snack item purchased there was this product called “Ah Caramel!”.
I looked at the back side of the package and saw something interesting. Look at the lower left section of the package.
As you can see on the lower left section of the package, it is a product of “Bimbo Canada”.
Grupo Bimbo is a Mexican multinational company which now has a presence in 38 countries. Bimbo is in the Western Hemisphere, Europe, Asia and Africa. It has a presence in both Russia and Ukraine.
Grupo Bimbo is the biggest bakery company in the world. Its U.S. branch, Bimbo Bakeries USA, is the biggest bakery company in the United States.
The Canadian branch, Bimbo Canada, is the biggest bakery in Canada. Grupo Bimbo bought out Canada Bread® in 2014 and in 2015 acquired Vachon®, at the time Canada’s leading pastry company. The snack item in the photographs above was a product of the Vachon entity.
The Bimbo Canada website describes Bimbo Canada thusly: “We are headquartered in Etobicoke, Ontario, and operate 15 bakeries, and 183 sales centres across the country. We employ more than 4,000 associates from coast to coast.”
