## Story

- New production space

- New spiral freezer for enhanced meal quality and consistency

- Modernized packaging lines, including advanced Mondini technology

This expansion reinforces apetito’s commitment to sustainable growth, operational excellence, and innovation in meal preparation across North America.

“Every meal that reaches a customer’s table is backed by the expertise, quality, and care of one of the most trusted food producers in the world,” said Chris Webb, President of Heart to Home Meals U.S.A. “. For our U.S. franchise owners, this investment means peace of mind. This expansion reinforces that while we’re a new franchise opportunity in the United States, we’re powered by decades of proven experience and a global commitment to quality.”

Since first entering the North American market through Canada in 2010, apetito and Heart to Home Meals have become trusted names in senior nutrition, healthcare partnerships, and home meal delivery.

Unlike many delivery companies that outsource production, apetito Canada and Heart to Home Meals proudly prepare their meals:

- In Ontario, using local chefs who understand and value North American tastes

- With fresh, high-quality ingredients and no shortcuts on nutrition or safety

- Through a model designed for consistency, scalability, and authenticity

Each meal is flash-frozen to lock in flavor and nutrients, then delivered by local Heart to Home Meals drivers who bring more than food: they bring conversation, care, and independence to the seniors they serve.
