Whether adapting to meet demands for organic and more-healthful products, finding new ways to keep customers informed, or bringing new talent onboard, food and beverage businesses are making moves to better assist the industry.
Companies like Milk Specialties Global, Blue Diamond Growers, Juice Tyme, DSM, Innophos and the International Dairy-Deli Bakery Association™ (IDDBA) announced in July significant changes taking place in their businesses.
Milk Specialties Global announced its certification to manufacture organic whey proteins. Milk Specialties has three plants certified organic: Visalia, California; Mountain Lake, Minnesota; and Norfolk, Nebraska. All are certified under the U.S. National Organic Program by OCIA International Organic Certification, allowing Milk Specialties to produce organic MPC 70, MPC 80, MPC 85, MPI 85, MPI 90, NFDM, Permeate, Lactose, Cream and most recently, WPC 80.
Also improving product offerings, Innophos Holdings, Inc., announced that its subsidiary, AMT Labs, Inc., signed an exclusive license agreement to manufacture, sell and market Smart Salt® low-sodium salt substitute products in the Americas. Smart Salt’s range of salt substitute products can provide solutions to reduce sodium levels in baked goods, meat, seafood, poultry, dairy and beverage products, and adds to its existing range of sodium-reduction products. Existing products include Cal-Rise®, a slow-acting, calcium-based chemical leavening agent specifically designed to reduce overall sodium content in baked goods and Curavis® So-lo 93, a sodium-reduction product for processed meat and poultry.
Blue Diamond Growers® is improving its resources offerings via a new website introduced in July. Its Global Ingredients Division website includes a monthly almond market analysis and national agriculture statistics service reports, along with industry news and upcoming events. Additional site features include: regular crop, harvest and bloom year-round updates including drought information; food safety information, including downloadable storage guidelines; nutrition information for almonds and other nuts; and information on the variety and forms of almonds, including USDA grades.
DSM and Taiyo Kagaku Co Ltd (Taiyo) entered into a licensing deal, effective July 1, 2014, which will transfer the entirety of the Teavigo® brand EGCG business to Taiyo. Under terms of the deal, Taiyo will become the sole producer of Teavigo by the end of 2014. Previously, Teavigo had been distributed under license by Pharmachem Laboratories, Inc. (Pharmachem) in the dietary supplement segment and by DSM in the food and beverage segments. Under terms of the Agreement, Taiyo will take responsibility for all customer segments, globally.
Two businesses to announce important personnel changes include IDDBA and Juice Tyme. IDDBA named Michael J. Eardley its new president and chief executive officer. He succeeds Carol Christison who passed away in March 2014, after leading the association for 31 years. Eardley will join the IDDBA on August 25 from HEB Grocery Company in San Antonio, Texas, where he has worked for the past 13 years in various roles with increasing responsibility, becoming the director of deli, cheese and prepared Foods in 2009.
Juice Tyme announced Mark Schacht as vice president of business development. Schacht officially joined the Juice Tyme team on April 7, to lead field sales and new business initiatives.
“The decision to join juice Tyme was an easy one," Schacht said. “The company has strong manufacturing and a loyal customer base, which allows for significant growth potential in the beverage category. We plan on leveraging our existing infrastructure by enhancing our selling platform, ramping up our innovation pipeline, and expanding into new beverage categories."
