NEW->KiKi+HACCP

Did you know that Sparkling KiKi Maple Water is copacked in  HACCP certified facility?  

What does HACCP stand for ?  Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP)

HACCP is a management system in which food safety is addressed through the analysis and control of biological, chemical, and physical hazards from raw material production, procurement and handling, to manufacturing, distribution and consumption of the finished product.

This is a significant milestone for the company. Prior to 2024 our copackers where CFIA certifiied CFSR, HACCP provides the next level of assurance that opens more doors for us across Canada, around the globe, around the corner and throughout our communities. 

Our Warehousing Supply Chain Partner Cantrina Freezer Warehouse in Brampton is HACCP certified, BRC,FDA & Kosher Certified  https://cantrinafreezer.com/ 

Many people do not know what HACCP means. So I did a google search to compile some info and clarity for us.

Blue Monday Tips

This morning I received a lovely email and one of the articles was about the Monday Blues. I forgot about this, I guess it happens to many people.

"Mondays typically aren’t fun for most people. The weekend is over, it’s the start of the work week with many emails to catch up on, and there are five days to go until you have two glorious days off again."

1st Tip 

How can I beat the winter blues this Blue Monday?

Just because Blue Monday is upon us, doesn’t mean you can’t combat it. Here’s what you can do to feel better when the winter blues roll around.

1. Surround yourself with those you love

Consider having dinner with your family or close friends, or just hanging out with your four-legged friend (Mercy loves to go with me for road trips). Being around your loved ones isn’t just a mood booster, it’s also a good distraction from the day itself.

 

Have a Delicous Good For you Maple Water Drink - my Favorite Option that is 

 

#SimplyRefreshing

 

Enjoy #CanadasNationalBeverage 

 

My favourite Tip, is to get a Maple Water beverage. Natures Energy Water , try our Maple Sap Beverage, Sparkling KiKi Maple Lemon, Cranberry, Blueberry or Strawberry  #SimplyRefreshing

 

WHY MAPLE WATER?
Maple water is the name that the industry decided to call Maple Sap. Maple Sap is the term for the liquid that comes from the tree. It is present in every tree and is utilized by the tree to move energy and nutrients between the roots to the leaves. During the freezing winter months the maple tree stores the sap in the roots. As the weather warms up in the spring the sap moves up to the branches to provide these nutrients to grow the new leaves.

Maple Water

Maple Water contains all the nutrients needed to keep a strong and tall sugar maple tree healthy!  With over 64 antioxidants, 80 nutrients, amino and organic acids, Maple Water beverages are an ideal source to restore your electrolytes and rehydrate.

The Iron, Zinc, Calcium, and Magnesium present in Maple Water are just some of the essential minerals your body needs to stay healthy. 

"Drink Healthy Stay Healthy!"©

 

This will pick you up and inspire you to be your best on Monday, enhancing your day ! 

 

Enjoy the benefits of Maple Water, get sold out, turn those cans upside down and make the best of Blue Monday's . If you want an extra boost, make Sparkling KiKi Maple Blueberry  your go to answer.
