The pizza chain, which has over 380 branches in Canada, is the first national pizza company in Canada to commit to using all-Canadian dairy products. Domino's Pizza Canada says the decision is proof of its strong belief in using only the highest quality fresh, local products in its kitchens. "Domino's decision to only use cheese made from 100% Canadian milk is a natural one," said Michael Curran, head of Domino's Pizza Canada. The announcement is set to have a major boost on the Canadian dairy industry, what with Domino's using nearly 5 million kg of cheese each year. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Local Sourcing:** Opportunity for businesses to partner with local suppliers to offer high-quality, locally sourced ingredients. - **Transparency:** Opportunity for companies to emphasize transparency in their ingredient sourcing to build trust with consumers. - **Sustainable Partnerships:** Opportunity for businesses to establish sustainable partnerships with suppliers to promote eco-friendly practices and reduce carbon footprint. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food Service:** Opportunity for food service companies to collaborate with local farmers and suppliers to source fresh, high-quality ingredients. - **Dairy:** Opportunity for dairy industry players to highlight the benefits of using 100% Canadian dairy products to attract consumers who prioritize locally sourced goods. - **Sustainability:** Opportunity for sustainability-focused companies to partner with food service providers and offer eco-friendly ingredient options that align with consumer preferences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Branded Dairy Recipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dairy-recipes.md) - [Spicy Free-From Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diavola-pizza.md) - [High-Protein Pizza Crusts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyprotein-dough.md) - [Globally Inspired Cheese Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/world-cheese-pizza.md) - [Vegan QSR Pizza Options](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pepperonnay.md) - [Plant-Based Beef Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-based-beef-pizza.md) - [Lactose-Free Mozzarella Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lactosefree-mozzarella-pizzas.md) - [Plant-Based Cheese Formulations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-vegan-pizza-recipe.md) - [Nutrition-Minded Pizzeria Items](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dominos-menu-items.md)
