Speaker
So let's get to the good stuff for your mind, body, and the planet. The future of the grocery store is brighter because of people like this. Here's Devin from Pulp & Press.

Meet Devin Powell

00:01:17
Speaker
Devin, your product is amazing. It does an amazing job of reducing mental fog, of ramping up my energy in a very gentle, loving, big hug sort of way. I love what you guys make. Thanks for jumping on the podcast. Hey, Corin, I appreciate you having me. It was great to see you the other week at the CHFA on another podcast, and I'm just happy to be elated to be on yours now. So you're on the other side of the desk, and so I'm excited to hear what you have to say.
00:01:45
Speaker
That's awesome. Being on the other side, this is the hard part. Asking the questions is the hard part. For sure. If you feel like you have the easy job, I don't know, but it's great to be together. And I want to kick things off with a question that is about the future.

Vision for Transparent Grocery Stores

00:02:01
Speaker
If you were to imagine the perfect grocery store of the future, what would it look like?
00:02:06
Speaker
That's a great question because you're going to get a lot of different answers from a lot of different people about what it looks like because we're all a little bit selfish, I think. So the perfect grocery store would just be full of pulp and press and everyone would just buy that exclusively. No one has said that directly. No one has said that so boldly. Yes. Good for you. Good for you. But you know what? The short answer made a little bit longer maybe is having products that consumers are comfortable purchasing, knowing that what they're putting into their body is actually good for them. There's so much smoke and mirrors out there in the
00:02:35
Speaker
in the consumer products industry where you're told something's good for you and then you got to dig a little deeper and you're like, oh, maybe that's not as good for me as I thought. And I think you need to see a grocery store that lives and breathes quality before worrying about top or bottom line revenue.
00:02:51
Speaker
are we providing a good customer experience and providing products that customers can feel comfortable and confident buying, knowing that when it actually gets into the nitty-gritty of their body, that is actually healthy. And you start seeing some ingredients on natural health products that are words that you find difficult to pronounce. When you buy pulp and press, you're buying things like apples and bananas and mangoes and celery and cucumbers. There's really no big words that you struggle to pronounce unless you can't read French, in which case maybe you just turn the bottle around to the English side
00:03:19
Speaker
You'll be fine. But you know, there's no ingredients that you really struggle to pronounce. Whereas you see some people out there that consider themselves natural products. And there's some really funny ingredients on there. And you're like, is this good for me? Or like, why does, you know, this orange drink require yellow dye number four? And it's like,
00:03:36
Speaker
We need a grocery store that's really conscious about what goes on to an ingredient panel and kind of what goes into the product that you're buying. And I think that's the direction I think we should be heading. And I think there's a lot of grocery stores that are headed that way, but I think also the buying habits in the grocery world is maybe that the buyers aren't as educated as they need to be about what to look for on ingredient panels. They think that something like I said is something healthy for them, but really there can be some implications of those ingredients down the road, right? So I think buying
00:04:05
Speaker
things that are good for you is where we need to be going and I think we're on our way but we're not quite there yet.
00:04:09
Speaker
Yeah, that's a great answer. Yeah, there's some things like plant-based or vegan. Someone posted the other day on LinkedIn, they're like, oh, this is accidentally vegan. And that's because the chemicals in there are just like, there was so much stuff in there that just like, well, it's, it's vegan, but it was, it's really just, it's full of stuff that's unpronounceable and isn't necessarily good for you. Maybe it's allergen free, but that's its primary benefit. Not so good. So let's get into it here. Like,
00:04:39
Speaker
For people that don't know Pulp & Press as well as I do, what are you guys making and what's your favourite product?

Pulp & Press Product Range

00:04:47
Speaker
So Pulp & Press has been around since 2014 and we are one of Canada's largest, what we call, functional beverage manufacturers. So we create product lines of cold pressed juices. We have vegan smoothies that are actually vegan, vegan smoothies, probiotic hydrators, and these little 70ml 2.5 ounce elixir wellness
00:05:08
Speaker
the shots, which are really trendy right now. You can find some grocery stores across Canada and into the US and we call them functional beverages because they provide a function. They're not just yummy sugar water. They're products that have ingredients in them that are really beneficial for your body. We use things like spirulina, activated charcoal, hemp protein, things that are good for boosting your immune system like turmeric and ginger and lots of lemon juice and things like that. And so they're functional. When you drink them, they don't just taste good, but they're actually good for
00:05:38
Speaker
So that's the function that they provide. We have one...
00:05:43
Speaker
and it's a carrot, lemon, ginger, beet, and apple. And it has 420% of your daily vitamin A. It has over 100% of your daily vitamin C. You look at the nutritional panels and you see these big claims in the nutritional panel, and it just shows how functional they are for you. Again, a lot of people are deficient in certain vitamins, and it's really just because they're not eating enough fruits and vegetables, whether it's whole fruit and vegetables in their raw form or drinking the pulp press or cold press juice, having these things
00:06:11
Speaker
in them, just really provide a good service to your body. And so having said, beta-boss was my definite favorite. The turmeric and ginger shots and the elderberry shots, big fan of the wellness shots. Elderberry is a natural anti-viral ginger and turmeric, good for inflammation and immune boosting qualities and things like that. So drinking a lot of the wellness shots lately, because again, I traveled quite a bit for work
00:06:36
Speaker
So you're shaking hands, you're on planes, you're presenting, you're demoing. Licking door handles. Exactly. The last thing you want to do is get sick and be down and out for a weekend. So a lot of the shots going down these days. That's good. Yeah, I would consider myself a heavy user of turmeric shots, ginger shots. That's sort of my jam for sure.
00:06:59
Speaker
I don't know if you're familiar with the comedian Brian Regan, but he's got this bit about, you know, juice people down the juice aisle and so boring. I love how pulp and press really has leaned into making juice fun to drink. It's all these different formats, all these different consumption occasions. It's really remarkable. Let's talk about your ingredients. You source as much as you can. Local ingredients obviously have organic ingredients. It's really important to you guys.
00:07:27
Speaker
You're pounding out like in a month, you're pounding out hundreds of thousands of units. This sounds really hard to do to buy like local and organic ingredients for the volume of fresh juice that you're making. Talk to us about these ingredients.
00:07:41
Speaker
Our manufacturing facility is based out of Quebec City, but we do our very best to source Quebec and Canadian grown products whenever and wherever we can. A very large percentage of our ingredients are exclusively sourced in Canada, and that comes down even to our bottles and our caps and our labels.
00:07:58
Speaker
things like that are exclusively sourced within Canada, wherever possible. Again, we use ingredients like pineapples and mangoes and certain things that you obviously can't grow year-round in Canada or can't grow in Canada at all. And we will source those elsewhere. But we have a big push on really sourcing Canadian wherever possible.

Sourcing Canadian-Grown Products

00:08:14
Speaker
And like you mentioned, in the volume that we're producing in, we can go through several
00:08:24
Speaker
that we're producing hundreds of thousands of bottles every month. And to source enough ingredients to sort to, you know, we have 15 different SKUs that are active in retail. We have almost 30 SKUs that are active across our marketplace channels, like our website. And, you know, sourcing enough produce, organic produce, produce that meets spec as well. So we're talking, it has to be certified kosher. It's gotta be certified allergen free. It has to have third party audits done on everything to make sure that we're, again, we're focusing on quality products, not just,
00:08:54
Speaker
Just because it's organic doesn't mean that it's, you know, good, good, like high quality, very high yielding, sourced ethically, swift third party audits on all of our suppliers as well. So finding these, they're very limited. Again, we only have maybe two or three suppliers per ingredient that we source. And there are times that we run into supply issues and we have to really either pivot or just really make sure that we're on point with our forecasts and velocity planning to be able to source that volume of organic produce every week because everything's
00:09:27
Speaker
What are placing an order? It's not already sitting finished in a warehouse ready to be filled. We're taking that purchase order. We're sending it to the manufacturer. We're saying this is our production for the week. It gets made. It gets sent off in a lens at that.
00:09:46
Speaker
And so when you're sourcing these ingredients on a weekly basis, you can really run into some bottlenecks and challenges. But we overcome, we have a great team. Paul and Press has only seven employees. We have a large community of support behind us, including brokers and distributors and manufacturers and then things like that. But one of our 17 members is a supply chain logistics coordinator, Terry, who is always on the ball and he's making sure that he's working
00:10:21
Speaker
want his job. Yeah, it's nothing that many people can do and Terry Fiennes joined it so we let Terry run with it but it's very difficult so one of our few dedicated team members is strictly involved in that procurement and production management.
00:10:37
Speaker
I love it. Okay. Let's nerd out on, explain to me the value of cold press, that process.

Juice Production Techniques

00:10:45
Speaker
What is it? How important is it to the nutrients and the vitamins and the minerals that you guys are trying to pack into these bottles of juices and shots?
00:10:53
Speaker
Yeah, so at Pulp & Press, we actually use two really innovative processes, not one that everybody uses, and that's cold pressing coupled with HPP or high pressure processing. And the two working together allow us to have a very nutrient vitamin rich product without, you know,
00:11:10
Speaker
Damaging the shelf like on the product as well. So when you cold press something again, you're it's it's exactly what it sounds like You're taking a very large cylinder or very large press that's very very cold and it's squishing down the produce and you're extracting all the juice out of it And that's where all the vitamins and nutrients live
00:11:25
Speaker
We're moving a lot of the pulp and a lot of the fiber and a lot of the protein through that process to just give a really clean nutrient vitamin rich product. Now, when you cold press something again, because you're using the cold, cold pressure, you're not losing those vitamins and nutrients as opposed to say the alternative.
00:11:42
Speaker
of when you masticate something or blend something where it creates heat through friction, you're burning away a lot of the vitamins and nutrients. So think about it when you use your ninja or your Vitamix at home, you throw all your kale and spinach and orange, bananas and apples in there.
00:11:57
Speaker
The minute you turn the blender on, you're creating heat through friction and you're losing a lot of the vitamins and nutrients in that process. Again, you're maintaining a lot of the protein and fiber, but you're losing a lot of the good stuff when you make those smoothies or shakes or at home yourself in your blender. And so by cold pressing it, yeah, you're maintaining a lot of those vitamins and nutrients. Now with that, great. Now we have this really nutrient rich juice that's going to last in your fridge for maybe two or three days, maybe if you're lucky.
00:12:23
Speaker
And if you ever juice before, you always know that you make way too much or not enough. And so it's better to make too much than not enough. And so you're left with this juice that's like coagulating or separating in your fridge. And then after a day or two, you look at it, you look in your fridge and you're like, that looks disgusting. I'm not touching that. So we couple our cold press process with HPP or high pressure process.
00:12:45
Speaker
which a lot of the high-end large cold-press juice companies use this across North America. What it uses is what's called isostatic pressure or cold pressure to get rid of things like yeast and mold and bacteria and things called mesophils and robot colonies and all these bad things that, say, make your banana turn brown as soon as you peel it and put it on the counter, right? I've got two kids, Niall and Callum, three and five years old.
00:13:11
Speaker
They're forever just opening a banana, taking a bite and leaving on the counter. And it turns brown within like five minutes of being left out. And so this HPP process removes a lot of the yeast and mold and bacteria, and it deters the growth of new yeast and mold and bacteria through this isostatic pressure or cold pressure, which helps extend the shelf life.
00:13:32
Speaker
Now, coupled that with a bit of food science, balancing the pH through use of lemon juice and lime juice and grapefruit juice and just citrus fruits in general, we've managed to get a ridiculous six-month shelf life or refrigerated shelf life on all of our products while still maintaining a super nutrient-dense, nutrient-rich product that's super consumer-friendly. So as again, why offering a food service or mass groceries is really, really easy for us because we have this long shelf life.
00:13:59
Speaker
without sacrificing the quality of the product. And it stays in a cold, it's merchandised in a cold case in the grocery, correct? Yeah. So once the product is made, it has that six month of shelf life. Once you crack the bottle open and you expose it to oxygen, expose it to air, you might see three or four days of refrigerated shelf
00:14:22
Speaker
see three or four hours of ambient temperature shelf life. And that just shows how volatile fruits and vegetables are, that if it's not kept cold and it's not kept away from the air, from oxygen, it can spoil very quickly. So it is a very volatile product as well.
00:14:38
Speaker
Amazing. Now, you're not using any preservatives, any artificial flavors or colors. Your ingredients, when looking at the, you know, the label of many of, like your products are just like, there's like four things in it. That's it. Like, it's just so simple. But talk to me about like the shelf life. When we're talking about fresh juice that I can buy that you made, you know, three months ago, that seems, oh, and your people are buying this stuff off your website. Like,
00:15:05
Speaker
A lot of people don't buy fresh juices off someone's website. So shelf life must be just a constant challenge for you guys. It is. And again, having that six months of refrigerated shelf life has been huge. But on the retail side of things, when you start working backwards, first it's got to ship to a distributor, then it's got to ship to a grocery store, then they've got an inventory, then they've got to put it out on shelf, they've got to sell through what they already have. A lot of cold-pressed juice companies struggle with a short shelf.
00:15:35
Speaker
By the time it gets to the retail shelf, it might only have 10 or 15 days left. So having a longer shelf life.
00:15:47
Speaker
products right now are still in March, April, May with a refrigerated shelf life on it. So it kind of takes that concern away, but it took us a long time to get there. When we started the company in 2014, it was like three to five days. We were cold pressing and then in the original founder's kitchen, we moved to a smaller co-packer that was not using HPP and we were just using natural
00:16:11
Speaker
of like lemon juice and lime juice and grapefruit juice to get maybe 10 or 15 days. And it took a long time because also in this industry, you can't just, you know, if it walks a duck, talks a duck, then it's duck. If it tastes good and looks good and smells good, it's good. That's kind of like the rule of thumb you'd like to go with, but you have to have extensive lab testing that shows, you know, aerobic colonies and salmonella and yeast and
00:16:34
Speaker
you know, meso fields and all these things to make sure that they're all in check, your pH has to be balanced. And if all your eyes are dotted, your T's are crossed, well, then you can make the statement that your product has this shelf life. And all these tests cost money and all these tests take time and it's formulating, you know, the recipe down to a T and it takes a lot of time and effort to get that shelf that we've gotten to. And it's been huge for us.

Juice Cleanse Misconceptions

00:16:56
Speaker
And especially, you know, growing in the natural product space, it's unheard of.
00:17:00
Speaker
Yeah, that's unreal. Okay, so I did some homework around juice cleanses. And let's just say the internet served up a myriad of opinions, bold opinions, robust opinions about good, bad. You guys do like juice cleanse kits. Obviously you're in the juice business. Talking about juice cleanses, what are people saying? What are consumers saying about
00:17:25
Speaker
what they're looking for when they're trying to go through and kind of take their health a little bit more seriously and kind of go through maybe a program or something around around using juice to help them feel better. What's your take on the whole gig?
00:17:38
Speaker
Yeah. So the biggest problem was, you know, years and years and years ago, juice cleansing got a really bad shtick because there was people out there making claims that it was going to cure this, make you skinny and cure that. And that's really not the case and really not the things that we try to encourage people to do a juice cleanse for, right? The reason we should be doing cleanses is to give our body, give our liver, our kidneys a bit of a break from having to process protein and fiber and, you know, all the different things that
00:18:07
Speaker
tobacco, heavy metals and toxins and things like that that go into your body through processed foods and fast foods and things like that. By just giving them raw, organic, fresh fruit and vegetables in liquid form so your body doesn't have to break them down. It's just going in the easiest way possible and it gives your body a chance to kind of regenerate. Again, your liver and kidneys are regenerative. They will bounce back if you give them the opportunity
00:18:38
Speaker
lots of water lots of rest for three days five days seven days or longer if you're able to it just gives your body a chance to kind of kick back to the origin state that it should be in and that's really it again there's secondary and tertiary benefits from doing a juice cleanse obviously weight loss is heavily balanced by calories in and calories out if you're doing
00:19:06
Speaker
more calories and you're going to put on during a juice cleanse. So secondary effects, weight loss, sure, great. Check it off. That shouldn't be the reason why you're doing a juice cleanse. The reason you should be doing a juice cleanse is, you know, you had a really busy summer at the cottage where you were drinking every weekend and eating like steaks and burgers and whatever it is. And you're like, I feel like a bag of crap. I need something to kind of just
00:19:31
Speaker
Sometimes again, you get into the habit of putting crap into your body and some people need that drastic change where it's like, I need to quit cold, jerky kind of thing. You need to do a choose cleanse, do like, you know, a three or five day choose cleanse, give your body the shock that it's not used to. And, uh, you know, I think they say routine is built over the course of two weeks.
00:19:48
Speaker
or something and you need to be doing some things regularly. So this is a good jumping off point for a routine change and lifestyle changes by doing something that's out of your comfort zone that your body will be put in shock from and say, maybe this is something that I actually enjoy or something that I really, I really like how I feel during and after a juice cleanse. And so that's really the only reason behind it is people struggle to eat, you know, four pounds of fresh produce. Whereas one, one of our 12 ounce bottles has three to four pounds
00:20:20
Speaker
Can you imagine the volume of produce you'd have to eat? Apples and bananas and mangoes and heads of lettuce. It'd be a full-time job just eating. It'd be like a horse. So when you put it into a convenient, you know, 355 milliliter bottle that they can just casually drink throughout the day, pairing it with water, it's a really easy way to get all the vitamins and nutrients that your body needs to be able to recover from.
00:20:43
Speaker
days, months, years prior to that. That's the real motivation behind doing it. It's not necessarily the shtick of it's going to cure all your ailments and it's going to make you skinny and it's going to make you... But if you do it for the right reasons of like, you know, I just need something to make myself feel better because I've been treating my body like crap, that should be your motivation.
00:21:01
Speaker
All right. Good answer. Okay. Let's talk about sustainability stuff.

Plastic Usage Challenges and Solutions

00:21:05
Speaker
From an environmental standpoint, you guys are dedicated to the point you've outlined very publicly a plastic project. So tell us about what you guys are doing to battle plastics.
00:21:17
Speaker
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, unfortunately, at this point in time, we are using a BPA-free plastic bottle to package all our products. And the reason we're doing that and not using an alternative to plastic, whether it be paper or tetra or, I mean, tetra is mostly plastic as well. Glass is because of that HPP process that we use to basically remove all the bad things in the bottle. It puts the bottle under so much pressure that if we did it in glass or aluminum or things like that, it would just explode.
00:21:44
Speaker
and there'd be glass shards everywhere and we wouldn't be able to have the type of high quality product that we currently have on the market. So right now our best option is to use this BPA free pet plastic bottle and so knowing that you know our carbon footprint is maybe not where we would want it to be if we were just producing you know a quarter million puddles or more a month we partnered with a program called plastic project through it's called the assays project where we're intercepting 10 times our plastic output
00:22:13
Speaker
from entering the Earth's oceans. And that's just through different recycling programs that are available, mostly currently located in Africa, where a lot of the plastic output ends up or areas from. So, intersecting that plastic waste prior to it ending up on the coastlines or in the ocean, just through monetary donations to help kind of reduce our carbon footprint. And because we understand that single-use plastic, obviously not ideal, there's arguments to be said that single-use glass and single-use tetra and single-use aluminum also are not
00:22:40
Speaker
fantastic for the environment. So we all need to do our part to obviously do what we can to reduce that impact that we're having. And so working with plastic project is one of our kind of environmental and sustainability efforts that we're taking to do that.

Biodegradable Packaging Innovations

00:22:53
Speaker
Yeah, very cool. And I know that you're using materials that are recyclable, non-toxic, and your installation in, when you're shipping stuff from your website, your installation is plant food. We have tons of different types of packaging for direct consumer products. So we have three different 3PLs set up across the US. We have two here in Canada where we're shipping direct consumer typically next day. So if you order on Sunday, it ships Monday, it gets to you Tuesday. And the packaging that we use for this is so cool.
00:23:23
Speaker
We're using non-toxic gel packs to keep it cold, but the aligners of these cardboard boxes that we're using, we have one in the US called Green Cell Foam, super cool. It's actually made out of corn, so it's fully biodegradable, fully
00:23:39
Speaker
use it as kindling in fires. They encourage you to put it in your grass and water and let it degrade into your lawn. It's really cool, 100% recyclable biodegradable. And in Canada, we're actually using ones that are recycled paper, recycled cardboard packaging that's been, it's, again, same thing, fully biodegradable, fully recyclable, zero impact. It's really, really cool. Again, back in 2014, we didn't know anybody that were using these big bulky styrofoam containers.
00:24:09
Speaker
So we're like, this is messed up. We preach putting good things into our body mold. We should be putting good things into our planet as well, or at least reducing the bad things we put into the planet. And so we made a pretty quick switch to these fully recyclable. And we're always looking at different new and innovative packaging types that are kind of different than a lot of our competitors, just to stand out. When we started using the corn packaging, people would email us daily and be like, is this really corn? Is this really just fully recycled corn product?
00:24:49
Speaker
And if you, you know, we're using a styrofoam container every single time, I don't know how you'd be able to sleep at night. Yeah, that'd be, that'd be a lot of waste. So it's great that you guys are dedicated to offsetting what you can and leaning into the innovations as you're able. It is a journey and not every brand, you know, like brands can't do everything all at once. It's very expensive to do these things. I was keeping an eye on a brand out of the UK that's come up with a snack bar that's wrapped in beeswax. So there's no,
00:25:18
Speaker
Awesome. I hope it works. Actually, I'm very curious to see if it works, but not every brand is able to do that. And it's obviously a very specialized niche play, but these types of innovations in their birthplace or when they get started and when brands start to use them, it's an important part of the process.
