Today on the menu of our fast delivery, we will discover a new St-Hubert product available in grocery stores, we will briefly study the unfair competition to which restaurants are victims and we will talk about Subway which is once again in court.
Let's start with the new product from St-Hubert, which adds a new range to its frozen section products by presenting three meatless pâtés. St-Hubert is therefore banking on the new popularity of vegetable protein by offering an additional option to customers wishing to reduce their meat consumption without losing the unique taste of the beloved chain of Quebecers.
“As we approach our 70th anniversary, we are very proud to innovate again, as St-Hubert has done so well for all these years,” announced Group President Richard Scofield. Providing even more quick and tasty options, while reinventing ourselves according to the needs and desires of our customers, allows us to continually evolve. As the vegetarian offer is already present and highly appreciated in our various restaurants across Quebec, it was only natural for St-Hubert to offer tasty and quality vegetarian choices, such as our pâtés, on grocery store shelves. The distinctive flavors of St-Hubert products are now accessible to even more Quebecers. "
On another note, have you followed the wave and bought food cooked by individuals, mostly offered through Facebook or certain classifieds sites? If so, be aware that this is an illegal practice because the vast majority of dishes are prepared by people who are not legally supervised in any way and who do not pay business taxes. We would even add that this is an unfair competition for restaurateurs who have to obtain permits and endure unscheduled visits by government inspectors. Restaurant owners have made their voices heard on social networks in recent days to demand a relaxation of the rules for them or a tougher tone towards home cooks. This is a file to follow!
Finally, a few weeks ago we talked about a class action lawsuit brought against Subway because the chicken offered was not quite chicken as understood. We come back to that today because the channel is once again in court. This time he was criticized for "mixing various mixtures which do not constitute tuna, but which have been mixed by Subway to imitate the appearance of tuna". The case is currently before the courts of California. Are Quebec lawyers tempted to take the same steps on this side of the border?
