The change is a return to Maple Leaf Foods for Bhandari who spent 13 years at the company previously.

Maple Leaf Foods announced a plan in July to spin off its pork business into a new publicly traded company.

The move, which is subject to shareholder approval, is expected to be completed in 2025.
