Hi, I'm noticing South American-inspired flavours/dishes in restaurants and cafes. Are you seeing CPG products with South American flavours in retail? Any companies developing such products? Thanks ---

Hello Nithya, thank you for your question. I know a company from Québec, https://www.manizales.ca/ Manizales, which offers South American-inspired products. There is also Sombrero Latin Foods in Ontario. The offering is less developed than in the United States, but it exists and is growing. Several companies offer products such as dulce de leche, quinoa, spices, or hibiscus, to name just a few typical products from South American countries. Here are some examples of American products: Fillos https://www.fillos.com/pages/walking-tamales (US) UNITE: https://unitefood.com/ (US) Tajin: https://www.tajin.com/us/ (US) Last year, the KitKat we know was offered in churro flavour. ![Kit Kat Churro Flavor Release Information details date limited edition Mexico cinnamon chocolate bar](https://image-cdn.hypb.st/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2023%2F05%2Fkit-kat-churro-chocolate-flavor-release-info-001.jpg?cbr=1&q=90) ---

Hi Nithya, That's a great observation. We have noticed a significant growth in the Latin community across Canada which has led to the development of more Latin-focused dishes and products. We are a Canadian family business that is originally from Colombia. We make and sell Colombian inspired Aji sauces, hot sauces, and guacamole mixes. We're also working to penetrate the food service industry to supply restaurants, hotels, and caterers. Based on a request from a restaurant, we are also developing a guacamole recipe. Let me know if you have any questions or comments! Regards, Nick ---

Hi Nithya, I saw Aji Gourmet has already responded, they are a fantastic brand with such a versatile product line. I'd also suggest checking out Lita's Mexican Foods [@Jackie Thomas](https://www.cfin-rcia.ca/network/members/profile?UserKey=df0fcc5d-6c6b-4c91-a1e2-4923a4a7c32c) - another great BC brand. One product I see exploding on social media is chili coated mango - chamoy/tajin? Someone will know the exact name of this snack, all I know is that it's delicious! I buy mine from a latin corner store near me, but I recently saw it show up at Costco so you know it's hitting mainstream soon. Also, move over Swedish candy, dulces enchilados are taking over, these are gummies coated in a similar chamoy seasoning. I'm also seeing a lot of South American inspired recipes via my Fresh Prep subscription, perhaps [@Jacquelyn Baker](https://www.cfin-rcia.ca/network/members/profile?UserKey=48b96f2c-ef4f-432a-a5b9-018dedb41624) can give you an idea of what inspires these, or how popular they are with their customer base. I'm a big fan of the Mexican Street Corn salad and Tuna Tostadas! ---
