Mississauga / CA. (sf) In its 17 year history, Sonora Foods Limited has witnessed the evolution of flour tortillas and flavoured wraps from being specialized food items normally seen only in ethnic Mexican restaurants, to their current status of mainstream food found in almost every casual dining and quick serve establishment across Canada.
«Today no casual dining menu is complete without wraps and tortilla recipes», says Juan Soissa, co-founder of Sonora Foods. «They are a very handy, flexible option that allows restaurants to better manage their food costs while providing tasty, healthy choices to their customers». In fact, tortillas are now found in the majority of family and casual dining restaurants and burrito concept quick serve restaurants across Canada.
To better support this growing industry, Sonora Foods has taken all its experience importing and selling tortilla products to the Canadian foodservice industry and started to manufacture their flour tortillas and flavoured wraps locally. «We used to import all our flour tortillas from the United States», says Juan, «but we knew that in order to adequately support our customers we would have to manufacture tortillas right here in Canada».
The new production team was comprised of top Canadian professionals in the areas of plant and production management, maintenance, food safety and quality, and sanitation. The result is a state of the art, HACCP capable facility in Mississauga (Ontario) that now produces Sonora Foods´ entire line of excellent flour tortillas and flavoured wraps.
