HFS is a leading expert in healthcare food because our roots are in healthcare. Since we are actually owned by healthcare organizations we have frontline knowledge of the needs of healthcare food service managers.

HFS is a publicly owned organization whose purpose and focus since we opened our doors in 1980 was to create and provide the best tasting and nutritious healthcare food to the Canadian healthcare industry.

Through the years we have demonstrated our commitment to this purpose through new product innovation, food delivery innovation and multiple conferences to address your challenges and opportunities.
