Job description

Maple Leaf Foods announced that it will be separating into two independent public companies. The new Pork Company, Canada Packers, will be unleashed as a world leading organization producing sustainable meats.

Our job is to make great food.

Canada Packers will embrace Maple Leaf Foods' strong values-based culture, where our people are deeply engaged in work that is purposeful, fast-paced, and challenging.
