Westminster, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/17/2015 -- FSMA (Food Safety Modernization Act) and menu labeling are timely topics now in the world of food policy and regulation. Chelsey Davis, TraceGains' Digital Marketing Specialist, explored the policy implications on the company blog. Davis interviewed Baylen Linnekin, Executive Director for Keep Food Legal and Adjunct Professor at George Mason School of Law.

Linnekin commented, "From both a theoretical and practical standpoint, mandatory menu- and vending-labeling is a lousy idea. Looking forward—from a theoretical perspective—even the chief architect of the country's first menu-labeling law, former New York City health department head Thomas Farley, admits menu labeling 'won't stop the obesity epidemic[.]' Practically, we know Farley is right, as study after study has found that mandatory menu labeling doesn't lead consumers to choose lower-calorie options, and may even cause them to choose options with more calories."

When asked about the US food supply, Linnekin shared, "The U.S. food supply is remarkably safe. That's thanks in very large part to the nation's farmers and food manufacturers. But not all food regulations—even newer ones—are bad. I support the FDA's mandatory recall authority under FSMA for many reasons, including because I think it makes lots of sense given the FDA's original mission to protect food safety."

Westminster, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/12/2015 -- The trend of food recalls will likely continue in 2015. Chelsey Davis, TraceGains' Digital Specialist reported on more concerning cases, "California Snack Foods Inc. of South El Monte, CA, issued a voluntary recall of California Snack Foods brand caramel apples with a best use by date between August 15 and November 28, 2014, because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes."

Davis reported in the company blog that food manufacturers are sharing successful corrective actions. At the upcoming (March 2015) BRC Food Safety Americas 2015 Summit, Andrew Clarke, Director of Certification and Audit, Food Safety, Maple Leaf Foods will share experience in the development, implementation, and management of food safety and quality management systems across a range of food product categories. Additionally, Dr. Purnendu C. Vasavada, Ph. D., will share involvement in the Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance (FSPCA) – a broad-based public-private alliance consisting of key industry, academia, and government stakeholders designed to help food industry comply with the Preventive Controls regulations for implementation of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).

1.1 million pounds of pretzel dogs were recalled because an undeclared allergen prompted action. E. coli concerns prompted ground beef recall and products were sold in Wal-Mart stores in Canada. Finally ADM sued Syngenta over stewardship of G.M.O. corn. (The case relates to China rejecting U.S. corn because of commingling with G.M.O. corn that China has not approved.)

FDA Menu and Vending Machines Labeling Requirements Discussed in TraceGains Webinar

Westminster, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/05/2015 -- TraceGains, a full service supplier, compliance, and regulatory document management solution, hosted a well-attended webinar about the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) recently released final rules on menu labeling. The pre-recoded webinar can be found: http://www.tracegains.com/labeling.

The menu labeling final rule applies to restaurants and similar retail food establishments if they are part of a chain of 20 or more locations, doing business under the same name, offering for sale substantially the same menu items and offering for sale restaurant-type foods. The vending machine final rule requires operators who own or operate 20 or more vending machines to disclose calorie information for food sold from vending machines, subject to certain exemptions.

The FDA finalized two rules requiring that calorie information be listed on menus and menu boards in chain restaurants and similar retail food establishments and vending machines.

Specialty Coffee Daily Consumption Increase in 2015 Reports TraceGains

Westminster, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/30/2015 -- The growing trends in specialty coffees was highlighted in TraceGains' recent blog. Chelsey Davis, TraceGains' Digital Specialist noted that the National Coffee Association's National Coffee Drinking Trends market research showed daily consumption of espresso-based beverages and regular coffee made with gourmet coffee beans is up to 34%, compared to 31% in the 2013 data, and daily non-gourmet coffee drinking is down 35% from the previous year's 39%. Leading the consumption of specialty coffee drinks are 25- to 39-year-olds, 42% of which reported daily usage.

According to Davis, "Specialty coffee beverages not only build check and add menu news to the fast-growing breakfast day part. The drinks also provide plentiful opportunity for flavor innovation. For the winter months, Dunkin' has launched a sugar cookie latte, featuring the flavor of frosted sugar cookies topped with red and green sugar crystals; and the snickerdoodle cookie latte, which combines flavors of sugar and cinnamon with a whipped cream and cinnamon topping. Peppermint mocha coffees and lattes also are returning for the season."

Westminster, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/26/2015 -- TraceGains, the leading automated supplier, compliance, and regulatory document management solution for food manufacturers and processors, reported some of the flavor trends for 2015 in the company blog. Guest blogger and industrial journalist, Thomas R. Cutler reported that many food trends for 2015 will be rooted in Asian cuisine. But the ability to monitor the ingredients for these authentic and innovative flavors requires more rigor than ever before.

According to Cutler, the cuisines of Asia are deeply rooted in history and traditions that have evolved over millennia, many of which survive intact in the everyday lives of the citizens of bustling metropolises and remote villages alike. Rituals, whether embracing a bowl of rice or a cup of tea, are still at the center of many a meal, especially when it comes to celebrations. Today, chefs throughout the continent operate within these roots and traditions, while also bringing in new points of influence from around the globe to their cuisines, taking risks as they build on the old to create the new.

These authentic recipes dig into dishes with modern sensibilities that integrate East and West with a focus on flavor quality, highlighting the tastes and textures of Asian ingredients—herbs and aromatics, spices, vegetables and legumes, rice and noodles, seafood, fish and meats, and specialty sauces from Sriracha, which has risen in popularity in the US to reach a nearly salsa-like level, to the Korean ganjang.

2015 Will likely See Additional Food Recalls Although Completely Avoidable

Westminster, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/22/2015 -- The trend of food recalls will likely continue in 2015. Chelsey Davis, TraceGains' Digital Specialist reported in the company blog that 1.1 million pounds of pretzel dogs was recalled because an undeclared allergen prompted action. E. coli concerns prompted ground beef recall and products were sold in Wal-Mart stores in Canada. Finally ADM sued Syngenta over stewardship of G.M.O. corn. (The case relates to China rejecting U.S. corn because of commingling with G.M.O. corn that China has not approved.)

Davis reported on more concerning cases, "California Snack Foods Inc. of South El Monte, CA, issued a voluntary recall of California Snack Foods brand caramel apples with a best use by date between August 15 and November 28, 2014, because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes."

Food manufacturers are sharing successful corrective actions. At the upcoming (March 2015) BRC Food Safety Americas 2015 Summit, Andrew Clarke, Director of Certification and Audit, Food Safety, Maple Leaf Foods will share experience in the development, implementation, and management of food safety and quality management systems across a range of food product categories. Additionally, Dr. Purnendu C. Vasavada, Ph. D., will share involvement in the Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance (FSPCA) – a broad-based public-private alliance consisting of key industry, academia, and government stakeholders designed to help food industry comply with the Preventive Controls regulations for implementation of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).

Westminster, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/13/2015 -- Almost everyone snacks daily, according to new Nielsen research, yet snacking among consumers over the age of 65, is contributing to extended life expectancy and a higher quality of life. Jenn Brusco, TraceGains' Director of Media and Content discussed in the company blog how snack manufacturers look to tailor offerings to deliver snacks that appeal to both the palate and psyche.

According to Brusco, the FDA recognizes that seniors face a greater food risk that younger people. The FDA is outlining some of the inherent food safety concerns for older Americans in Food Safety for Older Adults.

Brusco explained, "It is normal for our bodies not to work as well as they did when we were younger. Changes in organs and body systems are expected as we grow older. These changes often make more susceptible to contracting a foodborne illness or food poisoning. Stomach and intestinal tract may hold on to foods for a longer period of time; liver and kidneys may not readily rid our bodies of toxins; and our sense of taste or smell may be altered."

Westminster, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/12/2015 -- In November 2014 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published its final regulations to implement the menu and vending labeling provisions of the Affordable Care Act. Jenn Brusco, TraceGains' Director of Media and Content explained in a company blog that the menu labeling regulation will require chain restaurant, food retail, and other similar establishments with 20 or more units serving restaurant-type food to post calories on the menu or menu board (or if no menu/menu board, information must be provided through another on-site means) and provide additional nutrition information upon request. Outlets have until December 1, 2015 to comply with this regulation, providing time to aggregate information and cycle it in during regular menu or menu board updates.

Food policy and regulation expert Beth Johnson, MS, RD, of the DC advisory firm Food Directions, LLC advised that, "given the abundance of information required and the necessary changes needed, organizations should begin preparing now."

Westminster, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/07/2015 -- Buying local supports the farmers and small businesses in local communities is catching on quickly. TraceGains, a web-based, full-service supplier, compliance, and regulatory document management solution for food and beverage manufacturers and distributors, discussed how local ingredient sourcing has gained popularity in the company blog.

Like craft beers, there are craft foods which are often typically associated with foods made in small batches with specialized, local ingredients. Latching on to the "local is good" mentality, major food manufacturers are producing large quantities of craft food. According to Supermarket Guru, Phil Lempert, working closely with ConAgra Foods, Inc. (NYSE: CAG), the local trend to extend to other beverages and food, as Millennials in particular, continue to seek unique tastes and foods with authentic origin stories. Marie Callender's® Razzleberry Pie, made with whole Oregon Marionberries and North American red raspberries, is an example of a food that looks and tastes homemade, found in freezer aisles nationwide.

The local trend has a number of benefits. Consumers perceive local ingredients to be fresher, more wholesome, and more authentic; there is an expectation that ingredients will be local, especially in high-end restaurants.

Westminster, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/17/2014 -- The December TraceGains' newsletter, Industry Insider, reported on food fraud as a growing concern to food processors and others in the food chain. As a result, the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), the global consortium dedicated to improving food safety for consumers, proposed adding two requirements to its GFSI Guidance Document – which apparently will result in new rules in 2016 for its recognized and widely mandated inspection programs.

The newsletter invited food industry professional to complete the FSQA Professional Survey. Every year, Food Safety and Quality Assurance (FSQA) professionals are faced with new opportunities and new challenges. In 2014, FSQA professionals reported FSMA compliance, audit readiness, and process improvement as top priorities.

The FSQA Survey is available at this link:

TraceGains' Industry Insider covered the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) final regulation that will bring consistency and reliability to the nutritional information offered at chain restaurants. It included grocery stores, ruling that restaurants' recipes are as formulaic as the menu boards at fast-food restaurants.
