The Canadian food group said profits were boosted by a “good” performance from its bakery unit and a substantial recovery in its packaged meats business, which was the centre of last year’s listeria outbreak that was linked to at least 22 deaths.
Adjusted operating earnings increased 53% to C$63m, from C$41.1m last year.
However, the Toronto-based food manufacturer revealed sales dropped 4% to C$1.3bn in the period. Maple Leaf attributed this to lower fresh meat prices.
