Caribbean Health Foods Ltd., formerly known as Col-
lege Health Foods, was established on the campus
of the University of the Southern Caribbean (formerly

offers a wide variety of products ranging from frozen
soya patties, canned foods, whole grain cereals, cook-
ies and snacks, dehydrated soya, soya milk, and a
wide range of wholesome breads.
