Campbell
plans 2.3 MW solar system at Sacramento
plant
Campbell's Sacramento, CA
plant will get approximately 10 percent of its
electrical power from a 14-acre photovoltaic,
solar-power ground-mount tracker system, which
will be built adjacent to the facility.

Solar
heats water for poultry
operation
Prestage Foods, a
260,000-sq.-ft. turkey processing plant in St.
Pauls, NC, saw construction begin on a solar
thermal farm, which will supply an estimated
100,000 gallons of hot water per day to the
plant.

Sugar
is sweet and so is corn
Sugar
cane and sugar beet growers say the Corn
Refiners Association, makers of high-fructose
corn syrup (HFCS), are misleading the public by
calling HFCS corn sugar.

Where
machine eyes outperform tired human
eyes
An Italian meat
producer turned to a vision system to rest its
employees tired eyes. With the system, quality
improved, and production has increased by
approximately 20 percent.

Treatment system
turns high BOD wastewater to
value
A beverage recycling
operation had an effluent with a sugar content
of 5 percent and a low pH wanted to
avoid penalties from the local water
treatment center. An on-site system solved the
problem.

Eliminating
out-of-spec batches cuts ingredient
waste
A batch-tracking program
let this baker get a handle on its waste caused
by improper ingredient measurement or the
omission of an ingredient altogether. The
software allows mock recalls in 30 minutes.

Cyber-security
guidelines for industrial
Ethernet
This 22-page document
discusses cyber-security recommendations for
automation networks, including how to determine
and deploy security strategies for various
network
architectures.

Future
of organic food and agriculture at
risk
The National Organic
Standards Board is meeting to discuss future
direction with regard to
genetically-modified ingredients and the use of
synthetic preservatives in organic foods and
beverages.

FSMA
will drive FDA to form
partnerships
Because of FDA's
limited budget, it will need to form
partnerships with local, state and other Federal
organizations to assure inspections can be
carried on as the regulations require.

USDA

poultry
The USDA approved the
use of an antimicrobial agent based on Lauric
Arginate, a derivative of Lauric acid,
L-Arginine and ethanol--naturally occurring
substances. The agent is useful in combating
Salmonella.
