Losing
weight: It's up to individuals and
processors
It's no surprise
that two-thirds of Americans are overweight
or obese. Getting control of diet and exercise
are key elements to losing weight. Processors
are responding with more portion-controlled
meals.

Sustainability

Yes,
packaging costs are important, but not as
crucial to food and beverage processors as
sustainable, cost-effective solutions that
reduce packaging's environmental
footprint.

food defense requirements seen by security
expert
While the Food Safety
Modernization Act won't be in force until July,

security as well as food safety.

Salmonella
the top killer
E. coli O157:H7
has received a lot of press the last few years,
but Salmonella claims the lion's share of
damages in terms of healthcare
expenses and quality of life. Here's a fresh
look at CDC data.

Heading
E. coli off at the pass
Beef
processors have been trying to control
carcasses shedding E. coli in plant environments
when animals should be coming in clean. An E.
coli innoculation series for cattle might be the
right
solution.
