Outcome brief

Global Food and Ingredients: two receivers and an unfiled GST election

Two receivers were appointed over a plant-based ingredients group's assets in May 2024, one per primary secured lender; neither was paid in full. In July 2026 Richter assigned Global Food and Ingredients Inc. into bankruptcy, a step Justice Black had accepted as prudent, to reverse any potential CRA priority tied to an unfiled GST election.

Each row is one filing's statement, copied as it reads and never computed. "Estimated" is the officer's forecast; "Under the plan" is the plan's or proposal's own term; "Final" is a declared or paid distribution; a row with no chip states no footing. A range is the two numbers stated; "of proven claims" is the document's own denominator.
