News McCain Foods production facility
McCain Foods operates in 160 countries around the world. On February 24, McCain Foods stopped construction at its Russian production facility in the Tula Oblast region. The company has now made the decision to discontinue the project entirely. In addition, it is also suspending all shipments of products into the Russian market.
“The Russian invasion of Ukraine has been deeply concerning to all of us at McCain Foods,” the company states.
“Our thoughts continue to be with those affected by this crisis and we have done everything in our power to put the health and safety of our employees at the centre of our response.”
To help contribute to the global relief efforts underway, the company recently donated $200,000 to the Red Cross Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal.
