Beef flavored with a maple syrup-based sauce developed in collaboration with the Canadian Embassy in Korea will also be on sale. Four beef cuts, including rib fingers and oyster blades marinated in the sauce, have been on sale since Friday.

Customers who buy over 70,000 won ($51) worth of groceries from the campaign will receive coupons for Canadian donut and coffee chain Tim Hortons.

"The Embassy of Canada and SSG.com are proud to partner again this year to launch the third Happy Canada Day promotion," Tamara Mawhinney, Canada’s ambassador to Korea, said through SSG.com's press release.

She added that she hoped Koreans could enjoy the healthy and delicious food and beverages produced in Canada's clean and pristine landscapes, available at SSG.com.
