Epicure Closed Down After 32 Years

According to posts circulating social media, including on Facebook from the company’s ambassadors, a long-time canadian company that sells healthy, nut-and-gluten-free kitchen and food products globally is ceasing operations.
On Friday, Jan. 24, screenshots of an email sent to ambassadors by Epicure founder Sylvie Rochette, announced the closure of the 32-year-old company.

“This was not a choice made lightly, but one born from the weight of financial challenges many in the industry have experienced following the pandemic,” noted the email.
“Despite our relentless commitment to our mission of promoting healthier living and supporting time-starved families in creating nourishing meals together, we sadly were unable to recover.”

The email noted that the company will work with MNP – an accounting, tax and business consulting firm – to determine the next steps following the closure. The Epicure website, along with some of their social media accounts, are now defunct.
Ambassadors of the company will receive further information in the next five business days, according to the email.

Laurie believes clean eating thanks in part to Epicure, which is known for its gluten-free, non-GMO, additive-free products, helped heal her sons, each of whom have made big strides in their progress.
“We’ve been healing through nutrition,” says Laurie, who

Epicure Registered $50 Million In Retail Sales For 2014

 
Epicure, Canada’s fastest-growing party plan company just might be Vancouver Island’s best-kept secret — well, until now. Epicure CEO Amelia Warren, in Vancouver last week to promote her burgeoning women-led clean food company, was all smiles sharing the “overnight success story” that actually began in the 1990s with lots of elbow grease and little fanfare.
Last year, the self-proclaimed “ambassadors of good food” registered $50 million in retail sales thanks, in part, to a trending back-to-the-kitchen movement, social media and a national sales force of 15,000-plus.
“My mother has always promoted healthy living. She insists if you want to eat healthy you have to cook so you’ll know exactly what’s in your food … and cutting out the liberal amounts of fat, sugar and salt you see in the convenience food industry,” said Warren.
