"We are happy to promote and carry another great Canadian brand on our shelves."
"As an Atlantic Canadian company, our new collaboration with London Drugs to carry our Honibe Honey Drop and the Honibe Honey Lozenges is something we are happy to announce," stated John Rowe, President of Island Abbey Foods Ltd., "London Drugs is a leader in natural health products and pharmacy retail and therefore this is a great partnership for our Honibe brand of products."

Island Abbey Foods Ltd. will be sampling their Honibe Honey Drop as part of a promotional demonstration program within 20 different London Drugs stores in Canada to allow consumers to try the all natural sweetener. Demonstrations will be held at London Drugs stores on October 19th and 20th. Island Abbey Foods Ltd. invites everyone to come out to try the award winning Honibe Honey Drop for themselves!
The Honibe Honey Drop has received major national and international recognition having been awarded the most prestigious food award in the world at SIAL Paris 2010, the Global SIAL d'Or (Gold Medal), which recognized the Honibe Honey Drop as "The Best New Food Product in the World". Using the same proprietary technology as the award winning Honey Drop, the Honibe product line has since expanded to include Honey Delights candies, Honey Sprinkles for cooking and baking, and Honey Lozenges for coughs and colds. Honibe was subsequently honoured with the "Canada Brand Business Award" at SIAL (Toronto) in 2011. Honibe was also featured on one of Canada's most popular television shows, CBC's Dragons' Den, where entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to savvy business investors. The Dragons smelled money in the honey pot as Honibe was offered one of the largest deals in the shows history. Most recently, the Canadian Space Agency selected the Honibe Honey Drop as one of its 'Snacks For Space' and the Honey Drop will be going to the International Space Station with Canadian Commander Chris Hadfield's 2012 mission.
