A full menu of industry insights

Get a sprinkle of the latest Canadian F&B trends, a touch of industry forecasting and a dash of our perspective in our blog.

The health and wellness consumer

Health is top of mind for many Canadians, with 45% adopting a forward-looking outlook on their personal health and stating that they are always looking for ways to improve their health.

The changing organic consumer

Organic has moved from a niche market to mainstream and the organic consumer has also evolved, mainly due to a post-pandemic renewed focus on personal health, climate change and sustainability.

International food insights

More than half of Canadians view themselves as being more open to eating international foods than they were a few years ago, with more than three quarters (77%) also viewing international foods as being more mainstream than they used to be.

Cooking trends in Canada

Consumers have been cooking at home more often, developing new meal preparation skills and eating out less often. This was kick started by the pandemic and continues with the rise of inflation.

Canadian baked good trends 2022

For the vast majority of Canadians, sweet and savoury baked goods are part of their regular diets. Virtually all Canadians (98%) have eaten baked goods in the past three months.

What our clients say

Partnering with TOL made us nervous since we don’t give an exclusive, but it’s been fantastic! We were having trouble growing our brand and distribution in Canada. They’ve truly partnered with us and act as if they own part of our company. They put their own money into promotions, they’re proactive and they’re fun to deal with. We went from about 10,000/yr to about 500,000/yr. We LOVE TOL!
