In just a few days, Canada’s largest natural and organic food industry tradeshow will take place in Toronto, Ontario, and PureFit Nutrition Bars — which are sold in more than 300 stores throughout Canada — will be there.

The Canadian Health Food Association’s (CHFA) Expo East (October 2-4, 2009) is expected to draw more than 3,000 traditional and natural and organic grocery retailers, pharmacies, online retailers, and more, all of whom are interested in stocking their shelves with the healthiest products available.

To me at least, the Canadians appear to be well ahead of the U.S. market in terms of carrying wheat- and gluten-free products. My experience is that our neighbors to the north do not tolerate the kind of crap we Americans allow in nutrition products. Unlike us, Canadians demand clean products, which is why PureFit is doing such a booming business north of the border.

The Canadian Health Food Association, the largest trade association in the country for the natural and organic products industry, organizes Expo East. A trade-only event, Expo East takes place at the Metro Toronto Convention Center, and features an educational conference (October 2) and trade show (October 3-4). CHFA is celebrating 45 years this year, and PureFit is excited to be part of the equation.
