Snack food giant Mondelez shuttering Montreal plant

Dec. 2, 2016 – The Mondelez cookie and cracker plant in Montreal, Que., will close by the end of 2017, resulting in the disappearance of 454 jobs.

The job losses will take place on a gradual basis.

Company spokeswoman Stephanie Cass says the decision followed a company review of its supply chain.

Cass did not provide many details, calling it a “difficult day” for employees.

She said the company will maintain its activities in its five other Canadian factories.
