Question

Canadian Foods is Canada's largest food processor. The company produces fresh and processed pork, poultry, and seafood for retailers and wholesalers, along with pet and livestock foods. Its bakery groups produce fresh and frozen baked goods, fresh pasta and pasta sauces. Canadian Foods also has operations in the U.S., Asia, and Europe.

Early in the 1990s, labor disputes occurred at three of Canadian's meat products plants - one of which was a fresh pork facility. Prior to the labor dispute, the fresh pork facility in Any Town, Ontario, processed about 32,000 hogs per week on a single shift. After the dispute was over, the facility processed only about 18,000 hogs per week at first. The hog supply was gradually increased over the rest of the year until 44,000 hogs per week were processed on each shift.
The dispute had a negative impact on Canadian's financial results. Canadian paid $37 million of labor dispute costs and payments to employees when the strike at the Any Town fresh pork facility was settled.
On a more positive note, Canadian announced a $40 million investment that would be made over the next few years to add a second shift capacity to the facility. When this is complete, Canadian anticipates that it will be able to process 85,000 hogs per week on a double shift.

a) Fresh and frozen baked goods
b) Processed poultry and seafood
c) Fresh pasta and pasta sauces
d) All of the above
