As a division of Food, Health & Consumer Products of Canada (FHCP), they work to keep consumers, governments and industry participants informed about the benefits of plant-based foods. The goal of PBFC is to move regulations forward to support innovation, growth and make plant-based eating more available to the masses.

With their collective industry voice and amazing expertise, they have been able to help companies like Empathy Plant Co. maneuver more easily in the ever-shifting regulatory landscape in Canada. Their vision and execution are crucial if we are to help move the needle in terms of sustainability. We couldn't be more thrilled to be part of their mission to make plant-based eating more available to all."

As Empathy Plant Co. nears commercialization it will benefit from the resources provided by PBFC to help navigate the plant-based CPG (Consumer Packaged Goods) landscape and strengthen their development pipelines. PBFC data-sets and industry insights will help reinforce Empathy Plant Co.'s DTC (Direct to Consumer) and brick and mortar sales strategies. With rapid progressions and pivots in the Canadian health, nutrition and wellness space, alongside PBFC, Empathy Plant Co. will continue to innovate and strive to be part of positive changes in the plant-based environment.
