This week on The Food Professor Podcast, our interview is recorded live at SIAL Canada 2026 in Montreal. Michael LeBlanc welcomes one of the most influential executives in global consumer packaged goods: Jessica C. Adelman, Mars Snacking North America. Fresh off Mars' massive $36 billion acquisition of Kellanova, Adelman offers a rare inside look at the strategic thinking behind one of the largest CPG transactions in history. She explains how Mars — now a $86+ billion privately held global powerhouse operating across more than 80 countries — is reshaping itself into a modern snacking giant with iconic brands spanning M&M's, Snickers, Skittles, Pringles, Pop-Tarts, Cheez-It, and more. The conversation dives deep into how large food companies are navigating a radically different operating environment shaped by geopolitical volatility, inflation, climate pressures, AI disruption, and changing consumer behaviour. Adelman shares Mars' approach to resilience, reputation management, and long-term strategic planning in an era where business shocks arrive faster and harder than ever before. She also discusses why Mars continues investing heavily in North American manufacturing, including a recent $180 million investment across Ontario facilities. Michael and Jessica explore the transformative impact of AI across food retail and supply chains, from reducing food waste and optimizing logistics to enabling consumer discovery and personalization. They also examine how GLP-1 weight-loss drugs are changing eating habits, portion sizes, and snack consumption patterns — a growing issue every major food manufacturer is now monitoring closely. The interview also touches on sustainability, food system resilience, consumer affordability, and the evolving role of global brands in helping consumers balance value, convenience, nutrition, and enjoyment. Throughout the discussion, Adelman offers a thoughtful perspective on leadership, agility, and why companies must move beyond simply “playing the hits” to remain relevant in a rapidly changing marketplace. But first, Michael and Sylvain Charlebois tackle another packed week in food and agriculture news. The hosts debate Ontario's emerging “6% milk” trend, the accelerating adoption of GLP-1 drugs across Canada thanks to the launch of a generic pill format, and renewed calls (along with the history and original objectives) to overhaul Canada's confusing best-before date system to combat food waste and improve affordability. They also discuss food theft and organized crime concerns in grocery retail, mounting pressure on Atlantic Canada's oyster industry, mushroom trade tensions with the United States, the definition of food deserts in urban Canada, and the critical importance of grain infrastructure in Atlantic Canada and a world awash in Bourbon.

Recorded live from the stage at the SIAL Innovation Show in Montreal, this special episode of The Voice of Retail dives headfirst into one of the most disruptive forces reshaping commerce: artificial intelligence and its growing influence on how consumers discover, evaluate, and purchase food and grocery products. Michael welcomes Guillaume Mathieu, Co-Founder and Partner at Montreal's ilot, a strategic consultancy helping brands and retailers navigate growth, innovation, and consumer behaviour in Quebec and beyond. Guillaume also serves as Editor-in-Chief of Boillon, a leading B2B media platform for Quebec's agri-food sector, and is himself a podcaster in the brand and food space. Together, they unpack new consumer research revealing a fascinating contradiction: while consumers—especially younger shoppers—are rapidly embracing AI tools in everyday life, many remain hesitant when AI intersects with food. Why? Because food is deeply emotional, personal, and tied to authenticity. Guillaume shares proprietary insights showing that consumers are comfortable with “invisible AI,” such as asking ChatGPT for recipes or meal ideas, but become significantly more skeptical when AI becomes physically visible—whether that's robotic baristas, automated cooking systems, or AI-driven food preparation. The conversation explores how search behaviour is rapidly evolving from short keywords to highly contextual prompts. Consumers are no longer searching “pasta sauce”—they're asking for “a locally made tomato sauce perfect for a Mother's Day dinner.” That shift is creating enormous opportunities for smaller brands to compete against larger incumbents by winning on relevance, storytelling, authenticity, reviews, and discoverability across platforms like Reddit, websites, and emerging generative engines. Michael and Guillaume also examine the rise of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), the next evolution of SEO, and why brands must rethink their digital content strategy immediately. Product pages, recipes, reviews, seasonal content, and contextual storytelling may soon become critical assets in getting surfaced by platforms like OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and other AI-powered recommendation engines. On the retail side, the discussion turns to smart appliances, AI-powered grocery ecosystems, and the possibility that refrigerators themselves could become the next e-commerce channel. As technology companies, delivery platforms, and retailers compete for ownership of consumer relationships, this episode offers essential strategic insight for grocers, food brands, marketers, and retail executives.   https://ilotetcie.com/ Michael LeBlanc is the president and founder of M.E.

n this latest episode of The Food Professor Podcast, recorded live inside the podcast fishbowl at SIAL Canada 2026 in Montreal, Michael LeBlanc and Sylvain Charlebois welcome one of the most exciting entrepreneurs in Canadian food innovation: Santiago Stacey. Fresh off winning SIAL's prestigious Gold Innovation Award, Santiago shares the remarkable story behind Ku Na Na, creator of Canada's first plant-based banana milk made from 100% rescued, upcycled bananas. Born in Ecuador—the world's largest exporter of bananas—Santiago witnessed firsthand how millions of bananas are discarded simply for failing to meet cosmetic standards. That insight sparked a mission to create not just a beverage, but a better food system. Joined by innovation jury co-president  Isabelle Marquis, the conversation explores why Ku Na Na stood out among more than 320 entrants. From sustainability and nutrition to taste, convenience, and commercial viability, this product hits every major trend shaping the future of food. Santiago also reveals his expansion plans across Ontario, Quebec, and beyond, while sharing why banana milk could become the next major plant-based category. But first, Michael and Sylvain break down the week's biggest food and agriculture headlines. The hosts unpack Canada's push toward regulatory modernization and why reducing bureaucratic layering could be critical for food innovation, entrepreneurship, and national food security. They examine troubling new data on Canada's restaurant industry, with margin compression and closures accelerating in key markets like Ontario and Quebec. The conversation also dives into controversial moves by pharmacies in Quebec to pull energy drinks from shelves, AI-powered drive-thrus rolling out at Dairy Queen, and a deeply emotional discussion about dairy farmer mental health and the economic realities facing agricultural producers across North America. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/03/us/dairy-farm-butter-ridge-pennsylvania.html?unlocked_article_code=1.gVA.Xwqj.Qig6BXd4EEKQ&smid=url-share About UsDr. Sylvain Charlebois is a Visiting Professor in Food Policy and Distribution at McGill University and a Professor in Food Distribution and Policy in the Faculty of Management at Dalhousie University in Halifax.

Broadcasting live from the vibrant show floor of the SIAL Food Innovation Show in Montreal, this episode of The Food Professor Podcast delivers a dynamic blend of industry insight, macroeconomic analysis, and a compelling first-ever deep dive into the fast-growing pet food sector. Our guest on this episode is Dylan Munro, Canadian-born COO and Co-Founder of Spot & Tango. Munro unpacks how the company is disrupting traditional pet food with its human-grade, vet-developed meals delivered via a direct-to-consumer subscription model. At the center of its innovation is FreshDry™ “UnKibble,” a product that bridges the gap between fresh and dry food—offering both nutritional integrity and convenience. With millions of meals already served in the U.S., Munro explains how the company is thoughtfully adapting its operations, logistics, and value proposition for Canadian pet parents—highlighting broader trends in premiumization, transparency, and health-conscious consumption across both human and pet food categories. In the news, hosts Michael LeBlanc and Sylvain Charlebois pivot to the week's most pressing food and agriculture news. They begin with a wide-ranging macro discussion. Central banks, including the Bank of Canada and the Federal Reserve, are holding interest rates steady amid geopolitical volatility, including disruptions stemming from the Iran war and the blockages in the Strait of Hormuz. The hosts explore how these pressures ripple through global supply chains, commodity pricing, and ultimately food costs and will result in food inflation towards the top of the estimate band for 2026 of 6%. The conversation then turns to Canada's evolving fiscal strategy, including a spring fiscal update and debate over a potential sovereign wealth fund, drawing comparisons to the Alberta Heritage Savings Trust Fund. They assess what this could mean for long-term agricultural investment and national food security. Data takes center stage with a discussion of the Canadian Food Sentiment Index from Dalhousie University's Agri-Food Analytics Lab, supported by Caddle. The hosts unpack key findings on consumer confidence, affordability concerns, and shifting perceptions of the food system. They also tackle the increasingly controversial topic of surveillance pricing—what it is, whether it exists in practice, and how regulators and retailers are responding to the political pressure. The episode wraps with a series of sharp, fast-moving stories: follow-up legal action by Quebec's maple syrup federation over alleged product adulteration, grassroots innovation from food banks experimenting with fresh produce, and the growing influence of creator-led food entrepreneurship—highlighted by a Montreal restaurateur hitting one million YouTube subscribers. The show closes on a celebratory note with the expansion of a local restaurant, reinforcing the resilience and creativity of Indie restaurants.

In this episode of The Food Professor Podcast, hosts Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois sit down with Stéphane Thuillier, CEO of SIAL Canada, for an in-depth conversation on the future of food innovation, global trade shows, and Canada's expanding influence in the international food ecosystem. Thuillier shares his global perspective from leading one of the world's most important food exhibition networks, with SIAL events spanning countries including France, China, India, and Canada. He explains why Canada is emerging as a high-growth market for food innovation and how SIAL Canada is breaking attendance and exhibitor records in 2026. The discussion explores the enduring value of in-person trade shows in a post-pandemic world, highlighting the limits of digital-only engagement and the importance of physical product discovery, relationship-building, and real-time collaboration. The conversation also dives into key food trends shaping the industry, including the rise of “buy Canadian,” demand for affordable and private label products, the growth of functional and health-focused foods, and the increasing importance of multicultural offerings reflecting Canada's diverse population. Thuillier also provides practical advice for entrepreneurs and attendees on how to maximize their trade show experience—balancing structured meetings with open exploration to uncover unexpected opportunities. First, the episode opens with the food and agriculture news of the week, where Michael and Sylvain analyze the ongoing geopolitical tensions impacting global food supply chains, particularly the volatility in energy markets and fertilizer access linked to the Strait of Hormuz . They discuss how uncertainty is driving cost inflation across the food system, from farming to retail. The hosts also examine a major food fraud case involving adulterated maple syrup in Quebec, raising concerns about oversight and trust in Canada's food system.

In this insightful summer bonus episode of The Food Professor Podcast, co-hosts Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois sit down with Keith Currie, President at the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, live from the floor of SIAL Toronto. Representing more than 190,000 farmers and ranchers across the country and an eighth-generation farmer himself, Currie provides a candid, wide-ranging view on the future of Canadian agriculture—and why it's time for policymakers to pay closer attention.Currie highlights that agriculture contributes more than $150 billion to Canada's GDP and employs 2.5 million Canadians, surpassing the combined total of the auto, forestry, oil and gas, and steel industries. Yet agriculture remains a "quiet success story," underrepresented in national economic strategy. He argues that improved connectivity between farm producers, food processors, retailers, and policymakers is essential for ensuring sustainable growth.Topics include the implications of carbon pricing on rural producers, where Currie underscores the infrastructure gap that limits farmers' ability to adopt greener technologies. He advocates for more innovative climate solutions—such as cap-and-trade and regionally tailored resiliency programs—that don't unfairly penalize producers while acknowledging that border carbon adjustments are rapidly approaching in trade policy.Currie also stresses the importance of regulatory reform, referencing Ontario's red tape reduction model as a blueprint. Trade remains a central pillar of his advocacy, particularly in addressing non-tariff barriers and ensuring that agreements are effectively enforced, especially in complex markets like India.On the issue of succession planning, Currie discusses tools now available to help multi-generational farm families transition wealth and ownership without heavy tax burdens. With rising land values and farm assets, he emphasizes the need for financial institutions and governments to support the next generation of agricultural leaders.Throughout the conversation, Currie brings passion, realism, and a long-view perspective on agriculture's unique position in the Canadian economy. He calls on policymakers to shift from viewing farming as a sector in need of aid to one of untapped potential and national strength.From food security to innovation and sustainability, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who eats, votes, or works in the food industry.

In this special summer bonus episode of The Food Professor Podcast, recorded live at the SIAL Food Innovation Show in Toronto, co-hosts Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois welcome two exceptional guests: Joanne McArthur, President of Nourish Food Marketing and co-chair of the SIAL Innovation jury, and Chantal Van Winden, CEO of Olimega and this year's SIAL Innovation Gold Medal winner. The episode dives deep into Chantal's award-winning product—Camelina oil with a buttery flavour—unpacking its health benefits, sustainable production, and commercial potential.Chantal shares the remarkable 18-year journey behind the development of camelina oil, a uniquely Canadian innovation. With 35% Omega-3, high antioxidant content, and an exceptionally high smoke point (475°F), the oil is a healthy, locally grown alternative to avocado and olive oil. Grown in cold climates with short growing seasons, camelina thrives in Northern Quebec and supports sustainable farming practices, including soil health improvement and pollinator partnerships with beekeepers.Joanne offers behind-the-scenes insight into the SIAL Innovation judging process, where over 170 products from more than 70 countries are evaluated.

In this special summer bonus episode of The Food Professor Podcast, host Michael LeBlanc brings listeners straight to the SIAL Food Innovation Show floor for a flavorful conversation with Chef Jonathan Maters, co-founder of Smokin Jon's BBQ & Company. Born in Newfoundland and based in New Brunswick, Jonathan shares how a pandemic-era pivot turned his passion for barbecue into a growing food enterprise capturing the attention of retailers and food lovers alike.Jonathan walks us through his culinary roots, detailing how he started with a single signature sauce—Smoky Maple—bottled and sold from his backyard deck. With demand quickly outpacing his capacity, he moved into Class 5 kitchens and later secured a co-packing partner to scale his product line. Now, with a robust lineup of unique, clean-label barbecue sauces, hot sauces, and spice rubs, Smokin' Jon's is turning heads across Canada.From the Cuban-inspired Cubana BBQ sauce (orange juice, cumin, and oregano!) to the fiery Carolina Reaper sauce and low-sodium, filler-free spice blends, Jonathan emphasizes innovation, authenticity, and health-conscious ingredients. He shares how packaging design and colour-coded branding help his products stand out on crowded shelves.Jonathan also opens up about the hard realities of food entrepreneurship—from navigating CFIA and FDA regulations to the steep costs of national shelf space, and his evolving relationship with major retailers like Sobeys and Loblaws. He reflects on the role of local government support, challenges in accessing infrastructure, and the importance of marketing hustle, including a growing Instagram following built on grassroots cooking content.Listeners will appreciate Jonathan's frank insights on building a business from scratch, his strategic use of flavour storytelling, and his advice to fellow food entrepreneurs: “You'll hear ten no's for every yes—but that one yes is everything.”This episode is packed with practical inspiration, tasty ideas, and a genuine look behind the scenes of a fast-growing Canadian food brand. Whether you're a barbecue enthusiast, aspiring food entrepreneur, or retail insider, this conversation will leave you fired up and hungry for more.https://smokinjonsbbq.ca/ The Food Professor #podcast is presented by Caddle.

Salonul agroalimentar de la Paris a ajuns la a 60-a ediție. Anul acesta, tradiționalul eveniment se desfășoară în perioada 19-23 octombrie și organizatorii își propun să atingă câteva recorduri: sunt prezenți 7.500 de expozanți din 1.300 de țări, sunt așteptați 285.000 de vizitatori din 200 de țări, sunt prezentate 400.000 de produse expuse pe o suprafață totală de 145.000 de metri pătrați și și-au anunțat vizita 100 de delegații oficiale internaționale. La Salonul de la Paris vor fi prezenți 1.000 de jurnaliști din 57 de țări.Care sunt noutățile acestui an în materie de conferințe organizate cu ocazia SIAL? Au fost alese patru teme importante, și anume lanțurile de aprovizionare durabile, inteligența artificială, responsabilitatea socială a companiilor și tendințele în materie de gastronomie de pe continentul african.Ca de obicei, în cadrul SIAL va fi acordat un premiu al evenimentului. Anul acesta, premiul va fi dedicat temelor privind responsabilitatea socială a companiilor. Inițiativa marchează o nouă etapă în angajamentul salonului agroalimentar pentru promovarea practicilor durabile și responsabile social ale industriei alimentare la nivel global. La SIAL, participă 90 de producători români din industria alimentară.Sindicatele fermierilor francezi, implicate în promovarea profesiilor agricoleCel mai puternic sindicat al fermierilor francezi, Federația Națională a Sindicatelor Agricultorilor (FNSEA), se implică într-o amplă campanie de promovare a profesiilor agricole în rândul tinerilor care se află la vârsta de orientare vocațională, se arată într-un material de informare publicat pe site-ul organizației. Acțiunile sindicatului, care se derulează în parteneriat cu un operator dedicat activităților de formare profesională în Franța, se concentrează pe crearea de conținut multimedia și pe mobilizarea influencerilor. Scopul este de a capta atenția tinerelor generații și de a evidenția carierele posibile în sectoarele agricol, alimentar și pescuit. În același timp, federația sindicală își încurajează membrii să devină ambasadori ai noii imagini a agriculturii și ai meseriilor din domeniu, care evoluează datorită inovațiilor tehnologice. Rezultatele campaniei sunt încurajatoare: peste o sută de milioane de afișări generate în doar cinci luni și aproape 5 milioane de vizualizări pentru videoclipurile realizate cu influenceri.Copa-Cogeca celebrează Ziua internațională a femeilor din mediul ruralCopa-Cogeca a sărbătorit în data de 15 octombrie Ziua internațională a femeilor din mediul rural. A fost un prilej pentru a arăta rolul pe care îl joacă femeile agricultor și din mediul rural în sistemele alimentare și în dezvoltarea economică a zonelor rurale europene.„Trebuie să asigurăm oportunități egale pentru femei în toate domeniile agricole. A venit vremea să doborâm barierele și să încurajăm femeile să își asume inovația și roluri de lideri în agricultură”, a declarat Francesca Gironi, președinta Comitetului femeilor din Copa-Cogeca.Organizația participă la două proiecte cu finanțare europeană care sprijină dezvoltarea antreprenoriatului feminin și inovația în agricultură. Primul proiect, Grass Ceiling, promovează egalitatea de gen în sistemele rurale și agricole inovative, iar al doilea, GAEA, se referă la asigurarea accesului femeilor la locuri de muncă și antreprenoriat în sectorul agricol.Statele membre au votat pentru amânarea legii defrișărilor pădurilorStatele membre au aprobat propunerea Comisiei de a amâna cu un an data de aplicare a regulamentului privind defrișările. Această amânare va permite țărilor terțe, statelor membre, operatorilor și comercianților să se pregătească pentru respectarea obligațiilor care le revin, și anume să se asigure că produsele vândute în UE sau exportate din UE nu au fost rezultate în urma defrișărilor sau degradării pădurilor după 31 decembrie 2020, potrivit unui comunicat emis săptămâna trecută de Consiliul Uniunii Europene.Urmează ca Parlamentul European să adopte o decizie cu privire la poziția sa, cel mai probabil în sesiunea plenară din prima jumătate a lunii noiembrie, și, dacă va adopta propunerea Comisiei, normele cuprinse în regulamentul privind defrișările vor fi obligatorii începând cu 30 decembrie 2025 pentru marii operatori și comercianți și cu 30 iunie 2026 pentru microîntreprinderi și întreprinderi mici.Proiect de regulament pentru intervenții de urgențăComisia Europeană va propune un regulament care să permită statelor membre să utilizeze fondurile de dezvoltare rurală necheltuite în perioada 2014-2022, pentru a compensa fermierii afectați de dezastrele naturale din acest an, scrie euractiv.com. Măsura face parte dintr-un pachet mai larg, de aproximativ 18 miliarde de euro, care va fi redirecționat din fondurile structurale către intervenții de urgență adresate agricultorilor, proprietarilor de păduri și IMM-urilor din industria alimentară care au înregistrat pierderi în urma fenomenelor meteorologice extreme.Conform proiectului consultat de sursa citată, deși soluția va fi prezentată ca temporară, pentru a ajuta cele șase state membre lovite de furtuna Boris – Polonia, România, Austria, Cehia, Ungaria, Slovacia – și Portugalia devastată de incendiile forestiere din septembrie, flexibilitatea va fi acordată tuturor țărilor UE afectate de vremea extremă.
