In 2024, total meals and soups packaging retail volumes in Canada declined by 3% to 2.4 billion units. Packaging volumes for shelf stable ready meals and canned soups decreased. Producers faced higher raw material and tariff-induced costs for metals such as tinplate and aluminium. Therefore, shrinkflation was seen, as in Campbell's Chunky Soup, which now offers 515ml instead of the previous 540ml.
