Nestlé Canada is winding down its frozen meals and pizza business in Canada over the next six months.

Affected brands include Delissio, Stouffer's, Lean Cuisine and Life Cuisine.

Nestlé does not have a factory in Canada that manufactures any of its frozen meals or pizza products. The company said it will work with its retail partners to facilitate the exit of the affected products.  

The company said the decision was driven by its strategy to focus on categories that “support long-term business growth” and allow for a reinvestment in portfolio lines, including: confectionery, coffee and beverages, ice cream, infant foods and supplements, health science products, foodservice, premium waters and pet food. 

"Nestlé Canada attributes much of its long-term success to its ability to adapt and evolve within the industry. This decision enables us to further invest in priority categories. We remain open to enhancing our portfolio where it makes sense for our business," said John Carmichael, president and CEO, Nestlé Canada, in a statement. "We look forward to continuing to offer Canadians great Nestlé products now, and in the future."
