Event to feature Food and Beverage VPs who will discuss food safety and sanitary design.
January 26, 2018
The Food Safety & Sanitary Design panel will feature expert speakers from all major industry segments and retail presenting on the important food safety issues currently facing the industry.
Plastics, paper and other packaging materials bring many benefits to the food supply chain, including sterility and prolonged shelf life. However, there is the potential for transfer of chemicals from the packaging to the food, which is why FDA regulations surrounding food contact materials exist. Understanding this legislation is key to creating effective, safe and legally compliant packaging.
From consumer packaged goods going online to personal care brands and retailers exploring subscription models, the industry is now further investing in e-commerce by embracing a new "last mile" to reach consumers. So, if our first interaction with a product takes place on our front porch instead of in a store, how does that change how we choose brands and develop preferences?
The global sanitary food and beverage packaging market is likely to grow at a CAGR of nearly 6% during the forecast period 2017-2021, according to Future Market Insights (FMI). Increasing emphasis on maintaining food safety during the supply chain is promoting investments by manufacturers.
A whopping one third – 1.3 billion tons – of the food produced for human consumption worldwide is lost every year. Americans throw out about 40% of the food they produce annually, the equivalent of $165 billion.
Eco Pack Systems is rolling out a new low-weight container solution, which enables fully customizable point of purchase branding, dramatically reduces transportation costs and is made from food-grade material. It maximizes food safety, reduces product spoilage and damage with maximum airflow control and is sustainable.
Delivery and e-commerce are two major new factors influencing the findings in this year’s Trends Report from the Foodservice Packaging Institute. Today’s consumers are experiencing what the report calls “nearly limitless” food delivery options, such as meal kits and delivery programs, prepared food couriered by third-party vendors, and take-out and delivery options from traditional dine-in foodservice establishments. These delivery options impact how foodservice packaging must perform. Consumers want meals to arrive hot, fresh and safe, along with being represented by the foodservice brand.
A highly effective way for restaurants and other retail food service establishments to protect employees and customers from the harmful norovirus and other diseases.
