PC Blue Menu is trusted by the President’s Choice-sponsored Canadian Alpine Ski Team and Para-Alpine Ski team. Several products, like the PC Blue Menu Chili, were tested by the team. Alpine skier Victoria Whitney says that “the vegetarian chili was my favourite! I don’t get to have chili often when I’m on the road and this one tastes like it’s homemade.”
