Toronto company Global Food and Ingredients says it has completed its acquisition of the former W.A. Grains pet food ingredients production facility in Bowden.
The plant blends milled lentils, chickpeas, peas and pinto beans to “produce specific nutritional profiles for pet food manufacturers.”
GFI specializes in plant-based food and ingredients in four categories: pea protein, plant-based ingredients, plant-based pet food ingredients and consumer packaged goods.
