Quebec's Olymel Bacon Plant Funded For Faster Processing

Quebec meat packing giant Olymel has picked up a $2 million federal loan for three new bacon slicing and packing lines for its Aliments Prince food service operations.

Aliments Prince, which makes precooked bacon products for the foodservice, retail, restaurant and fast food sectors, will be able to increase the speed on its processing lines with the new equipment, the federal government said Tuesday.

The Aliments Prince operations have been part of Olymel's foodservice arm since 2005. The higher line speeds are expected to provide the business with "more opportunities to get their products to market."
