Julie Lapham, Founder and CEO of Popzup, said, “It’s the Branded Program that puts us in front of these people.” With products already on the shelves in some Canadian retail stores, Popzup is projecting repeat orders from this retailer and further growth within the Canadian market. Popzup is using the Branded Program to help with the costs of French-language packaging requirements in Canada, which is essential to continue Canadian retailer relationships.

Popzup Popcorn was founded in 2016 by husband-and-wife duo Julie and Marty Lapham. Together, they created their product line of popcorn and seasonings. Their goal was to focus on health and sustainability; Popzup Popcorn is gluten-free and non-GMO; they are currently working towards B-Corp certification and are always looking for new ways to decrease their carbon footprint, such as having their recycling program.

Popzup LLC dba Popzup Popcorn has actively participated in the Branded Program and other Food Export activities since 2022.

Since 2011, Best Breed Inc. has participated in Food Export-Midwest’s Branded Program. They have most recently used the program to gain brand awareness for their pet food and pet care products in South Korea and Taiwan.
