FedUp Foods

Through every up and down as we’ve forged ahead in our efforts to bring fermented functional beverages to people across the country, one thing has rung true — our team is the heart and soul of who we are, and it’s the faces behind FedUp Foods that create our success. So, what’s great about FedUp Foods? See what our team has to say. If you want to be part of a growing company that values its team members, we encourage you to apply. We’re hiring for various positions in Wilmington and Marshall, NC. https://lnkd.in/eTRisgmk #hiring #werehiring #joinus #joinourteam #wncjobs #wilmingtonjobs

We continue to be impressed with the way Marshall has pulled together in the wake of Hurricane Helene. The outpouring of support, the way our team and neighbors are showing up for each other, and the volunteers coming from all over - it’s been incredible to see. This community’s resilience and willingness to help, no matter the challenge, reminds us just how strong we are when we come together. Downtown is a testament to this collective effort. It's astonishing to see how organized the operation has become and how much progress has been made. Most of the buildings have already been mucked out, though there’s still plenty of work to be done for anyone eager to pitch in. Some buildings are being pressure washed as we speak, giving a glimpse of what downtown will look like as the cleanup continues. For those wanting to join us in volunteering, simply park at CHC and walk over to Nanostead, or park at Ingles and catch a shuttle to Nanostead. Once there, you'll find all the tools, PPE, food, and drinks you need to help out. You can then take a shuttle directly downtown to join the efforts. Recently, more volunteers have been wearing respirators, and about half are also wearing Tyvek suits. Most everyone is wearing at least a mask, as the mud has dried out, creating more dust in the air. Thankfully, a water truck is regularly wetting the road to keep the dust down. Nanostead has free supplies for volunteers: gloves, boots, masks, and more. After you're done, hop back on a shuttle to Nanostead to clean up, and enjoy a free meal from the food truck (donations are appreciated, but not required). Downtown Marshall now has cell phone reception, along with portajohns and a well-stocked station with coffee, cold drinks, PPE, equipment, and first aid. If you’re looking to contribute in other ways, Nanostead also keeps an updated list of donation needs. You can see a list of the needs this week below. A sincere thank you to everyone who has pitched in to bring resources (& hope) back to our community. We see you.

Let's talk: Prebiotic Soda Trends! The rapid rise of prebiotic sodas on the shelves can be attributed to a confluence of factors that tap into current consumer trends: 1️⃣ Functional Beverage: Consumers are increasingly drawn to beverages that offer health benefits beyond simple hydration. Prebiotic sodas position themselves as a healthier alternative to sugary sodas, promising gut health support alongside a familiar effervescent experience. 2️⃣ Gut Health Awareness: Public awareness of the gut microbiome and its link to overall health is on the rise. Prebiotic sodas capitalize on this by offering a convenient way to potentially improve gut health through prebiotic fiber. 3️⃣ Sugar Reduction: Many consumers are actively seeking ways to reduce their sugar intake. Prebiotic sodas often boast lower sugar content compared to traditional sodas, appealing to health-conscious consumers. 4️⃣ Natural Ingredients: The use of natural prebiotic sources like chicory root, inulin, and apple cider vinegar resonates with consumers who value natural and minimally processed products.
