TORONTO — Chef Charlotte Langley, a pioneer in sustainable seafood, has launched her latest venture, Langley Foods. An agency and incubator aimed at supporting consumer packaged goods (CPGs) looking to enter the Canadian food-and-beverage industry, Langley Foods will drive positive impacts through startups dedicated to more sustainable and re-generative practices.
Langley announces this new chapter as she shares her departure from Scout Canning as Chief Culinary Officer. Since founding Scout Canning in 2014 and being named Ambassador Chef for the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) in 2017, Langley has been instrumental in re-defining perceptions of tinned fish and sustainable seafood in the North-American market. She now looks forward to applying her unique perspective to the forefront of North America’s evolving CPG sector. Through Langley Foods, she will champion a diverse array of food-and-beverage startups dedicated to responsible sourcing, each uniquely positioned to make a significant impact in the marketplace.
At its core, Langley Foods empowers emerging Canadian brands by offering a wealth of resources, expert guidance, and strategic partnerships that pave the way for growth and prosperous exits. More than just an agency, it will be a thriving community that leverages a shared resource model and a novel revenue-sharing approach to amplify the success and value of startups. Through these initiatives, Langley Foods will seek to catalyze change, ensuring a brighter, more sustainable future for the food-and-beverage industry.
“Launching Langley Foods merges responsibility with innovation, aiming for a healthier planet,” says Langley. “It blends responsibility with innovation, building delicious brands for a healthier planet. Anticipate our brand unveiling in spring 2024.”
