The government will loan the company $3 million (US$3.005 million) as part of the Slaughter Improvement Program.

"This loan allows us to invest in the modernization of our Toronto plant that has been processing Ontario hogs for over 50 years," David Schwartz, president of Quality Meat Packers, said in a statement. "We will enhance food safety and traceability, improve plant efficiency, and reduce operating costs through the purchase of value-added equipment."
