Bio-K+’s history began over 30 years ago, with the discovery of three remarkable and unique probiotic strains. Ever since our humble beginnings in the 1990s, our mission has always been focused on promoting people’s health through food and science. Over our +30 years of history, we grew from 10 employees to a global company, owned by the renowned Kerry Group. The business expanded from a Québec-based natural health food outlet to an international network of pharmacies, health food and grocery stores and hospitals in Canada and the United States. Canada is where Bio-K+ was born. The brand has a strong presence in Quebec region as the “#1 recommended probiotic brand in Quebec” 8 years in a roll. The rest of Canada is still a big opportunity for the brand to increase awareness and drive stronger sales. In the U.S. we are very strong in the natural channel (i.e. Whole Foods, Sprouts). We have ambition to grow in Food, Drug and mass channels.
