A new partnership has been announced between local snack producer Hawkins Cheezies and Loyalist College.
The partnership between the Loyalist College Centre for Natural Products and Medical Cannabis and the snack food company, will involve a series of scientific studies intended to help refine and improve the process of manufacturing cheezies.
The first study will gather baseline data on the snack, to be used as a comparison point for future studies.
Hawkin’s Cheezies have been produced in Belleville since 1956. When supply chains were disrupted during the pandemic, Hawkins sought the help of Loyalist College to test alternative packaging for their product.
