Our product starts with upcycled raspberries – this fruit would typically go to waste because it’s either misshapen, bruised, or too small to be sold as-is. It might not be pretty, but it’s perfectly good to eat, so we give it new life as a sweet spread. We went big on berry flavour, too – while typical jams are made up of 40% to 50% fruit, our PC® Raspberry Chia Spread is made with a whopping 70% raspberries! Next, we add chia seeds. These nutritious little powerhouses help thicken the jam without adding as much sugar as traditional jams or spreads, plus they’re a source of fibre and omega-3 fatty acids. The result: A fruit-forward sweet-tart spread that’s 50% lower in sugar than our regular PC® Raspberry Jam with the added fibre benefits of chia seeds. This spread is made without artificial colours or flavours, and retails at more than half the price of the national brand, at $5 per 206 mL jar compared to $14.49 per 250 mL jar. Along with our raspberry fruit spread, we also launched a strawberry and blueberry flavour to suit a variety of tastes. Learn more

East Coasters are notoriously easy-going, but mess with their iconic donair and you might have another thing coming. When PC® set out to transform the classic Halifax late-night street food into a unique-to-market burger, we knew straight away the stakes were high. Not only did we need to hit those savoury warm spices in the beef burger, but we made our version of East Coast liquid gold – sweet garlickly donair sauce – to include in each box of burgers (this is our first time ever including a sauce packet with our burgers!). The innovative concept resonated with Canadians at a time when Canuck pride was at an all-time high, and it certainly got Canadians talking.
