A useful first conversation.
A clearer next step.
Use this checklist to prepare a rice, lentil and pulse assortment discussion for a supermarket, club store, distributor or foodservice business in Canada or the United States.
A discussion checklist — not a supplier qualification certificate. Listed package sizes come from the website catalogue. Pricing, live availability, minimum order quantities, certifications, regulatory compliance, capacity and retailer acceptance must be confirmed with K Foods. No affiliation or listing with Costco, Walmart, Loblaws or Real Canadian Superstore is implied.
