Lactalis Canada Inc., which is the parent of the Cracker Barrel brand, is set to acquire Agropur’s fine cheese division, according to coverage from Canadian outlets. The agreement involves Lactalis Canada taking over Agropur’s operations in the fine cheese segment, expanding Lactalis’s presence in the category and in Canada’s cheese market. The reports describe the transaction as a purchase of the fine cheese division rather than the entire company, indicating that Agropur’s other business areas would remain separate. The articles do not provide full deal financial details in the supplied excerpts, nor do they specify the exact timing of closing. As with many corporate acquisitions, completion is expected to be subject to standard conditions, such as regulatory review and other customary approvals. The announcement highlights ongoing consolidation in the dairy and cheese sector in Canada, with Lactalis and Agropur formalizing a transaction that would restructure ownership of fine cheese brands and related production assets.
