Dainty Rice is spending $20 million to upgrade its facility in Windsor, Ont. as it looks to grow in the North American private label market.

Phase one of the project to deploy cutting-edge rice production lines is complete with Dainty’s new retort now fully operational. The second phase is expected to wrap up early next year.

The expansion will allow the company to offer 90-second Ready-to-Heat pouches of rice, grains, pulses and pasta.

Dainty said it has so far partnered with several private label brands.
