2020 - Vancouver - John's Sourdough Loaf

What to do when you are under 14 day self isolated quarantine?

 

Bake, like many others are doing resulting in shortages of flour and yeast.

 

Baking Yeast Trivia:

AB Mauri in Calgary produces yeast under the Fleischmann label for western Canada from Manitoba to British Columbia and the Pacific northwest down to northern California.

 

90% of the yeast produced for baking needs in Alberta & British Columbia comes from the AB Mauri Calgary plant.

 

The plant was working at 25% over capacity until last week trying to keep up with all the COVID-19 stay at home would be bakers.

 

Mauri has 7 manufacturing plants in North America, 2 in Canada, 4 in the US and 1 in Mexico. World wide they have 52 plants. The company headquartered in Peterborough, United Kingdom, is a division of Associated British Foods (ABF).
