🔊 I'm beyond excited to finally share this article highlighting the important work #grocers are doing around #FSMA204 and #foodsafety! 📗 This feature is the culmination of several months of research, in which I had the opportunity (thank you Upshop!) to learn about what FSMA 204 requires and how the #groceryindustry is responding to these challenges -- all in hopes of reducing the number of people who get sick each year from foodborne illness. 💡 This issue is important to everyone, both as #consumers and #retailindustry experts. Whether you know nothing about it or you’re working towards the 2026 deadline yourself, I urge you to read, like, and share this article. 🙏 A special thanks to Michelle Leger, Sr. Manager Quality Assurance of Lunds & Byerlys, Matt Hilbrink, Vice President of Enterprise Risk & Asset Protection for The Raley's Companies, and Sally Robinson, VP Strategic Initiatives for Upshop, and Grocery Dive. #supplychain #retail #retailnews #supplchainreadiness FDA Centers for Disease Control and Prevention https://lnkd.in/eGm6KVzw

We are working with Ishida Europe Ltd to deliver two upcoming packaging webinars: 25th June – Enhance Ready Meal Packaging through functional materials and automated sealing ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eCQcvCCM 26th June – Exploring Fresh Produce Packaging with Functional Trays, Extended Shelf Life, and Automated Sealing ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e7wz9yJV The rise of tray sealed food has brought convenience to consumers, but also presents challenges for producers. Packaging needs to be functional, balancing factors like cost, sustainability, and product visibility. Extending shelf-life is crucial to minimise waste and reach wider markets, but this requires selecting the right tray materials with proper barrier properties. Maintaining consistent seal integrity is paramount for food safety, leak prevention, and preserving product quality – any breaches can lead to spoilage and consumer dissatisfaction. Striking the right balance between these factors is an ongoing challenge for the tray sealed food industry. Experts from Campden BRI and Ishida Europe Ltd will delve into the latest advancements in tray sealing for the food industry. From cutting-edge packaging materials to innovative automation technology, the sessions will highlight key areas to achieve safe, sustainable and shelf-stable tray-sealed food while meeting production efficiency demands. Lynneric Potter, Food Packaging Technical Lead is one of the speakers, and will explore sealing, testing of seals, and how various environments impact the functionality of diverse packaging materials, ultimately influencing shelf-life. Lynneric will also shed light on new materials and sustainable options currently being explored by the industry. You can sign up to one or both of the webinars here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ge8dKtzg #Webinar #CampdenBRI #Ishida #Packaging #SealedTrays #FreshProduce #ReadyMeals

B and D Foods was founded in 1972 in Boise, Idaho, to supply their signature “Finger Steaks” to a regional chain of fast-food restaurants. Over the years, they have grown their product line to include a variety of fully cooked battered whole-muscle meats. Many of B and D Foods’ clients were asking for shelf-life data that could either substantiate a new product’s useful life or offer evidence for the frequently encountered request to extend shelf life for existing inventory. They also wanted to expand distribution. TechHelp - Idaho Manufacturing Specialists, part of the MEP National Network™, worked with B and D Foods to develop a methodology that would solve both problems simultaneously. TechHelp engaged with the research and development group at B and D Foods to help them develop an internal shelf-life program, including longitudinal sensory measurements of finished product. This made it possible to quickly provide uniform product quality across their entire supply chain, ensure existing customer satisfaction, and qualify new production for new customer accounts. The connection with TechHelp resulted in significant impacts for B and D Foods including: ✅ $6,400,000 in new or retained sales ✅ 85 created or retained jobs ✅ $16,700,000 in new investment ✅ $6,900,000 in cost savings Read the full success story: https://lnkd.in/errcCYYR   #MEPNationalNetwork #manufacturing #manufacturers #FoodIndustry
