Processor
cuts water usage by 80
percent
Wornick Foods
(Cincinnati, OH) began a multi-million dollar
capital project as part of its sustainability
program and is recycling one-million
gallons of water per day.

Processors
look for total processing/packaging
solutions
The growing trend of
combining processing and packaging into the
production line has proven effective for
processors, and the needs for product safety and
flexibility will boost this trend into the
future.

Simplifying
secondary packaging reduces fossil-fuel
demand
While there has been an
effort to reduce primary packaging as much as
possible, secondary packaging has not had the
same attention. Strapping technology may be a
solution.

Manufacturing
in the digital age: All
aboard!
President Obama's
Advanced Manufacturing Partnership plan calls
for a roadmap for modernizing 20th century
factories with 21st century digital and
automation technology.

New
equipment lets chef prepare high-quality RTE
meals
This Chicago-based
processor cooks about 30 percent of its products
and found value in converting its older batch
cooking systems to continuous systems to
maintain quality and meet
demand.

Rapid
detection methods for common foodborne
bacteria
Not that long ago,
reliable detection methods for Salmonella, E.
coli and the like could take several days. Newer
methods are cutting the time to a little over a
day, allowing processors to ship sooner.

US
needs to get more proactive on E. coli
O104:H4
While processors are
getting better in preventing E. coli O157
outbreaks, the recent German E. coli O104:H4
and Japanese E. coli O111 outbreaks prove
that O157 is not the only deadly game in
town.
