Little Debbie product-maker McKee Foods Corp. confirmed to CTV News its corner store staples, to the likes of Swiss Rolls and Honey Buns, will no longer be distributed in Canada.
"This was not our decision," a McKee Foods spokesperson said in an email Wednesday. "The sole distributor in Canada chose to terminate their business relationship with our brands for reasons that are entirely their own."
