Justin Mares is the founder of Kettle and Fire, Perfect Keto, and Surely Non-Alcoholic Wines, and is working on his fourth company: Truemed. I am super impressed with what Justin has accomplished, and am a big fan of Kettle and Fire. My wife and I drink their bone broth regularly. What I am most inspired by is that Justin isn't in business just to be in business. He is in business to solve problems that make peoples' lives better, specifically around their physical and mental health and wellbeing. As the sickest generation of Americans in history–and it's not even close–he is on a mission to rescue the food system and transform the industry into something that serves people first, not profits. Health is foundational to human flourishing – even before shelter. We discuss how Justin started Kettle and Fire by testing the idea with a landing page and no actual product to gauge demand. We discuss the importance of a healthy food system, and the failures of regulatory bodies like the FDA. Justin emphasizes the need for companies to prioritize consumer health and wellness. Our conversation explores the impact of food regulations and the state of health in the US. Justin highlights the differences between the US and the EU in terms of food regulations, with the US allowing thousands of chemicals in food that are banned in Europe. We also discuss the high rates of chronic diseases and obesity in the US, and the connection between physical and mental health. TAKEAWAYS The most profitable food products are often the worst for people, highlighting the brokenness of the food system. Starting a company that prioritizes consumer health and wellness is important but challenging. Bone broth is a nutrient-dense food that can improve gut, skin, and joint health. The FDA and other regulatory bodies have failed to protect consumers, leading to high rates of chronic disease. The food system needs to be reformed to prioritize healthier and more sustainable options. The US allows thousands of chemicals in food that are banned in Europe, leading to worse health outcomes for Americans. The US has high rates of chronic diseases and obesity, with 60% of Americans living with at least one chronic disease and 80% being overweight. There is a strong connection between physical and mental health, and addressing physical health through food interventions can improve mental health. Food regulations and the food system play a significant role in the overall health of the population.

Eating a healthy, balanced diet is no longer just about getting the right mix of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, protein and fat. Now, it's also about balancing one's needs with the needs of the planet. In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney talks about the top 10 best foods for the environment, which boast low carbon footprints, support biodiversity and offer substantial nutritional benefits. Integrating these foods into one's diet is a practical way to contribute to a healthier planet while nourishing one's body. The list includes categories like pulses, leafy greens, locally grown fruits and cereals and grains as well as mushrooms, seaweed, mussels, grass-fed beef, oats and figs. These foods provide essential nutrients while having minimal environmental impact. The team is surprised by a number of foods on the list, including mushrooms, mussels and grass-fed beef. Also in this episode, Sydney talks about The US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) new requirement for prepackaged foods in the US. This rule would mandate front-of-package nutrition labeling, which would display key nutrient information on the front of the packaging, in addition to the existing nutrition label on the back. In the US, advocates have long lobbied the FDA for front-of-package labels, claiming they help consumers make healthier choices and encourage food manufacturers to reformulate their products. Opposers argue that mandatory interpretive front-of-package nutrition labeling designs could cause unnecessary fear among consumers without providing meaningful context on how a food item fits into a healthy diet. The team discusses which design would be most effective and wonders whether this rule would promote healthier choices.

The market for hemp beverages has been growing rapidly in recent years. The passing of the 2018 Farm Bill, which legalized hemp production, boosted the market, allowing companies to explore hemp as a primary ingredient. In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney talks about the hemp beverage market, which has seen a steady influx of new products, including hemp-infused teas, sparkling waters and protein shakes. The regulatory landscape for hemp in the US is complex and continually evolving and the legalization of hemp did not mean a free-for-all. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) plays a crucial role in regulating hemp products, particularly those intended for consumption. The FDA's stance has been cautious, focusing on ensuring that hemp beverages and other products are safe for consumers. Companies must navigate stringent guidelines regarding labeling, health claims and quality control. The team is skeptical of hemps health benefits and wonders whether hemp beverages will be considered functional beverages. Also in this episode, Sydney talks about tara flour, an ingredient that has come under scrutiny following an FDA declaration that it is unsafe. The FDA's assessment comes over two years after Daily Harvest's French Lentil + Leek Crumbles product containing tara flour sickened nearly 400 people. This ruling, dated May 15, 2024, is only the 15th such declaration by the agency since 2010. The FDA stated that tara flour does not meet the standards of “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS), which food manufacturers can use to avoid a lengthy food additive approval process. Tara is grown for several purposes, including as a food additive that acts as a stabilizer or thickening agent. It is also high in protein — about 43 percent protein by weight — making it an ideal source of plant-based protein. Daily Harvest used tara flour in its product without first obtaining FDA approval, leading to 133 hospitalizations and a $23 million settlement with victims. The team asserts that not all plant-based protein sources are healthy or safe and wonders whether Daily Harvest and its supplier will face further legal action.

This episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast features an interview with with Annie Simmons, Field Application Scientist at Neogen, an international food safety company that provides test kits and relevant products to detect dangerous substances in food. Annie starts by discussing her educational background and professional journey that led her to specialize in food safety testing. She then talks about how food safety testing has evolved over the years as well as the major challenges it faces today. Annie emphasizes the critical role of traceability in food safety and how Neogen stays ahead of emerging food safety threats. She also highlights how regulatory changes impact food safety testing and the importance of consumer awareness and education in food safety.Read the full article here:Avian Flu in Cows Presents a New Challenge for the US Dairy Industry: https://xtalks.com/avian-flu-in-cows-presents-a-new-challenge-for-the-us-dairy-industry-3780/For more food and beverage industry content, visit the Xtalks Vitals homepage. https://xtalks.com/vitals/ Follow Us on Social Media Twitter: https://twitter.com/XtalksFood Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/xtalks/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Xtalks.Webinars/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/xtalks-webconferences YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/XtalksWebinars/featured
Lab-grown meat bans are becoming more common as governments worldwide react to the burgeoning cultivated meat industry. Recent bans in Florida, Alabama and Italy highlight the growing resistance to these products. In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney talks about the current state of lab-grown meat bans. Lab-grown meat has existed since 2013, when it debuted at Maastricht University. Yet, consumer access remains limited. US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approvals currently cover only UPSIDE Foods and Good Meat, but their products are not yet available in stores. Proponents of lab-grown meat argue that consumer freedom should dictate the market's future. Balancing consumer choice, ethical considerations and environmental impact will be crucial in determining the role of lab-grown meat in our food systems. The team posits that these bans are premature and believes the traditional meat industry and lab-grown meat industry will have to work in tandem with each other rather than be at odds. Also in this episode, Sydney talks about SweetLeaf Xylitol Reduced Calorie Sweetener. It offers consumers a way to enjoy sweetness from nature with only 10 calories per serving, mirroring the taste of sugar without its negative impacts on blood sugar levels or dental health. Xylitol is a sugar alcohol naturally found in various fruits and plants. It's been used for decades as a sweetener and dental health aid. Xylitol is not only about sweetness; it also boasts dental benefits by reducing the risk of tooth decay, unlike traditional sugar. Its efficacy as a sugar substitute is well-documented, with benefits like a lower glycemic impact compared to sugar. However, like many sugar alcohols, xylitol can cause digestive upset if consumed in large quantities. It is also highly toxic to dogs, so pet owners must use caution when storing products containing xylitol. The team applauds Xylitol for being a natural, rather than an artificial sweetener and wonders whether it will gain popularity.

Cally starts off by explaining what PFAS chemicals are and why they are so prevalent in the food industry.

She discusses some of the latest developments in technology that businesses are adopting to remove PFAS from their products and processes.Cally also talks about what consumers can do to minimize their exposure to PFAS, as well as how she foresees the role and presence of PFAS in the food industry evolving in the next five to ten years.Read the full article here:FDA Announces Slow Phase-Out of Certain PFAS Chemicals Used in Food Packaging:https://xtalks.com/fda-announces-slow-phase-out-of-certain-pfas-chemicals-used-in-food-packaging-2372/For more Food Industry content, visit the Xtalks Vitals homepage. https://xtalks.com/vitals/Follow Us on Social MediaTwitter: https://twitter.com/XtalksInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/xtalks/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Xtalks.Webinars/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/xtalks-webconferencesYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/XtalksWebinars/featured
With roughly one-third of all food produced globally lost or wasted, the food industry is pivoting towards sustainable practices aimed at curbing these losses. In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney talks about how different sectors within the food industry are combating food waste on Stop Food Waste Day 2024 and beyond. For example, tech companies are creating software and systems that help restaurants and food producers optimize their inventory and Grocery chains are also revising their supply chain practices. Upcycling, turning by-products or waste materials into new, high-quality products, is another innovative approach gaining traction. The hospitality sector, including hotels and resorts, is also making substantial strides by implementing programs that analyze and improve food preparation and consumption patterns. The team wonders whether tech innovations like AI and blockchain can make a significant impact in cutting food waste across the supply chain. Also in this episode, Sydney talks about the Business Benchmark on Farm Animal Welfare's (BBFAW) recent report, which evaluated 150 prominent food companies and assigned the majority a low-performance impact rating due to their poor animal welfare practices. According to the report, approximately 95 percent of food companies worldwide recognize farm animal welfare as a central business issue. Despite this, none have reached Tier 1 ‘Leadership' status in the BBFAW rankings. Many of the largest food companies, including Mars, Mondelez International and Starbucks, show no evidence of farm animal welfare on their business agendas, with Tier 6 rankings. Companies like Domino's Pizza and Yum China Holdings are yet to even publish a formal farm animal welfare policy. The team posits that consumers shouldn't have to pay a premium for ethical animal products, but rather that it should be the standard.

The recent detection of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in dairy cows has taken the agricultural sector by surprise. This development, announced earlier this week, introduces a significant twist in the ongoing saga of the H5N1 virus, which has been affecting birds globally and in the US since early 2022. In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney talks about the mystery illness in dairy cows, which has raised numerous questions among livestock and influenza experts. The exact role of HPAI in this mysterious ailment remains unclear. Additionally, the discovery of dead wild birds carrying the virus at the affected farms suggests new biosecurity challenges in livestock settings. While the immediate impact on milk supply is limited, the situation underscores the need for vigilance and enhanced biosecurity measures. The team discusses some differences between the spread of viruses in animals and humans and wonders whether the plant-based and lab-grown meat sectors could use this as a selling point. Also in this episode, Sydney talks about the top ten fastest growing food and beverage companies in 2024, according to the Financial Times' list of The Americas' Fastest-Growing Companies. This prestigious list showcases 500 companies across the Americas, all of which have shown exceptional growth in their publicly disclosed revenues from 2019 to 2022. This initiative bases its rankings on the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of each company's revenue, making it a significant and respected measure for assessing the swift rise and success of businesses in the Americas. The top ten fastest growing food and beverage companies include So Good So You, SOTO Sake, Marfrig Global Foods, Ocean's Halo, Avatar Natural Foods, Smith Teamaker, The Andersons, Mas Organización, Jeni's Ice Creams and Zolli Candy. The team appreciates the diversity of the list, noting that long-time food giants and startups alike can find success if they can carve out a niche for themselves.

Are you seeing the headlines about lead poisoning? Maybe you've heard that water bottles contain lead, or that cinnamon in applesauce was poisoning shoppers. Host Faith Salie talked with Dr. Adam Blumenberg to discuss the crucial context for news about lead poisoning. A toxicologist and doctor of emergency medicine, Dr. Blumenberg explains what lead is, what makes it poisonous, and how exposure might happen in our daily lives—and of course, what to do about it.
In a pivotal move for the food industry, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has unveiled industry guidance for genome edited foods derived from plants. In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney talks about gene edited foods and how this landmark guidance aims to demystify the FDA's risk-based approach towards both genome edited foods and all new plant varieties. Genome editing stands as a cutting-edge technique that ingeniously introduces new traits into plants. It also serves as a way of catering to the burgeoning needs of a growing global population. The FDA's recent guidance document sheds light on the regulatory landscape for foods derived from genome edited plants. It lays out the foundational principles for ensuring the safety of these innovative foods. The team talks about the differences between genetically modified organisms (GMO) and gene edited foods, as well as whether these foods could be considered organic. Also in this episode, Sydney talks about eight American foods banned in other countries. The disconnect between the US and other countries becomes clear when it comes to these preservatives. That's why a handful of American foods find themselves banned outside the US, while being granted the stamp of “safe” approval by the FDA and the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) within the country. The list includes instant stuffing and mashed potatoes, Skittles, Twinkies and Little Debbie Swiss Rolls, Pillsbury biscuits, bread with potassium bromate, high fructose corn syrup, American pork and chlorinated chicken. These foods are banned in other countries for a variety of reasons, such as the inclusion potentially unsafe dyes, hormones and preservatives. The team compares these banned foods to the foods that are banned in America and discuss the cultural and societal differences between them.

Raw milk is making a powerful resurgence as more people discover its remarkable health benefits after years of propaganda against unpasteurized dairy. In this episode, Tommy and Luke of Raw Milk and Deadlifts share their journey to raw milk. They share how its easily digestible nutrients, enzymes, probiotics and ability to cure nutritional deficiencies transformed their health and provided sustained energy.Growing up on the standard American diet, Tommy and Luke struggled with acne, inflammation, and other health issues. Introduced to health and fitness in high school, they discovered the power of nutrition and local farming, which eventually led them to raw milk. They were shocked by how much better they felt, with increased energy, improved digestion, clearer skin, and faster muscle recovery. Best friends since kindergarten, their venture, Raw Milk and Deadlifts, is a culmination of their passions: farming, fitness, and faith. Key topics include: the lost history and hidden health benefits of raw dairy, Louis Pasteur vs Antoine Béchamp, firsthand experiences of increased strength and workout recovery, how raw milk supports gut health and a diverse microbiome, benefits of bone broth and bone marrow, the ethics of small farming, using every part of the animal, food waste in America, clarifying myths about the legality of raw milk, finding local raw milk producers, and much more.

In episode number 34 of the Podcast "International Pharma Talks by ELS Solutions" our host, Dr, Diogo Sousa Martins, PhD, MBA, will focus on "Advances in reliance practices within Brazilian Food Regulations".
In recent times, fried rice syndrome has become a trending concern, especially after a TikTok video highlighted a tragic incident from 2008 involving a 20-year-old student. In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney talks about fried rice syndrome, which refers to food poisoning caused by a bacterium called Bacillus cereus. It poses a significant threat when introduced to specific foods that are not adequately stored post-cooking. Such foods commonly include starchy items like rice and pasta, but even cooked vegetables and meats can be vulnerable. One distinct characteristic of B. cereus is its ability to produce spores — cells exceptionally resistant to heat. Therefore, while reheating might eliminate other bacteria, it might not be effective against B. cereus in food. When these spores find the right conditions, they can grow and produce the toxins responsible for fried rice syndrome. The team highlights the importance of properly storing and reheating leftovers and notes that meat isn't the only food susceptible to foodborne illness.Also in this episode, Sydney talks about why the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is set to remove brominated vegetable oil from its list of approved food additives. The move comes after the FDA National Center for Toxicological Research, the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition and Toxicologic Pathology Associates in the US uncovered new evidence pointing to brominated vegetable oil's potential harm. Originally sanctioned for use in measured doses, brominated vegetable oil has been used to keep citrus flavors from separating in some beverages. The reassessment of brominated vegetable oil's place in the food industry aligns with the FDA's obligation to base regulatory actions on scientific findings and risk assessments. A recent study connects brominated vegetable oil intake to heightened concentrations of bromine within bodily tissues, with a notable focus on thyroid health implications. The team posits this ban will be easier to implement since brominated vegetable oil has been largely phased out.Read the full article here:Fried Rice Syndrome: A Disturbing Reminder About the Dangers of Bacillus CereusBrominated Vegetable Oil Concerns Prompt FDA to Propose BanFor more food and beverage industry content, visit the Xtalks Vitals homepageFollow Us on Social Media Twitter: @XtalksFood Instagram: @Xtalks Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Xtalks.Webinars/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/xtalks-webconferences YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/XtalksWebinars/featured
In today's smart-tech era, the chicken coop might not be the first item one would consider in need of an upgrade. Yet, an Austin, Texas-based startup called Coop is revolutionizing this concept, launching its $2,000 smart chicken coop to enthusiastic “early bird” customers. In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney talks about how Coop is redefining backyard farming. At the heart of the design is a sophisticated AI system the pair lovingly named “CluckWatch.” This intelligent system has been trained with over seven million images, honing its ability to identify potential predators that might wander into a backyard. Coop's vision is to bring the freshness of eggs laid the very same morning to every household. This not only guarantees better taste and nutrient density but also has broader environmental and economic implications. The team admires the idea of a smart chicken coop but points out that some regions do not allow backyard hen rearing. Also in this episode, Sydney talks about two recent foodborne illness outbreaks from raw milk consumption. These outbreaks come at a time when raw milk is growing in legality. State legislation regarding the sale of raw milk is witnessing a shift, with 27 states now permitting the sale of raw milk directly to consumers. Many individuals believe that raw milk offers superior health advantages over pasteurized milk. However, this choice is not without its dangers since foodborne illness from raw milk is a real risk. Nutrition specialists warn that consumption of unpasteurized milk can be potentially fatal in certain situations. A prevailing reason many opt for raw milk is the belief that it's a healthier and more nutritious alternative to pasteurized variants. However, most experts believe this notion is exaggerated. The team stresses that just because something is natural, doesn't mean it's safe.Read the full article here:How a Smart Chicken Coop Is Redefining Backyard FarmingFoodborne Illness from Raw Milk On the Rise For more food and beverage industry content, visit the Xtalks Vitals homepage.Follow Us on Social Media Twitter: @XtalksFood Instagram: @Xtalks Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Xtalks.Webinars/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/xtalks-webconferences YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/XtalksWebinars/featured
Many Americans might be surprised to discover that there's a long list of foods banned in Europe. This is because the US has more lenient food ingredient regulations thanks to US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS) designation. In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney talks about five ingredients that are banned in Europe, but allowed in other parts of the world. The list includes the whitening agent titanium dioxide, a compound called azodicarbonamide, propylparaben as an antimicrobial preservative, the human-made hormone rBST and brominated vegetable oil. Sydney also mentions some foods that are banned in the US but allowed in other countries. The team wonders why Europe has always been ahead of the curve when it comes to food safety and talks about how traditions and heritage impact modern food culture. Also in this episode, Sydney talks about Mooala's new Simple line, featuring organic, shelf-stable, three-ingredient plant-based milks. Unlike many brands that often infuse plant-based milks with gums, oils and additives, Mooala's latest line prides itself in containing only three core ingredients: filtered water, organic oats or almonds and a pinch of sea salt. Mooala, which began in Texas in 2016, now spans across major retailers in the US. Whether it's Whole Foods, Walmart or Aldi, Mooala has made its mark in the plant-based milk market. The brand has consistently shown that products free from GMOs, herbicides, preservatives and toxic chemicals can also prioritize taste. Additionally, the plant-based milks don't require refrigeration until consumers are ready to enjoy it. The team commends Mooala for its simple approach and discusses some of the flaws with other plant-based milks.

Recent initial public offerings (IPOs) from food companies such as Cava Group and BranchOut Food might give the impression of a reawakening IPO market after a seemingly quiet year. In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney talks about three food companies that have already gone public this year, including Cava Group, BranchOut Foods and Instacart. First, the Mediterranean fast casual chain Cava Group achieved a notable $4.7 billion valuation after a successful market introduction on June 15. Second, BranchOut Food Inc., a budding natural food brand with a proprietary technology for producing and marketing dehydrated plant-based foods, finalized its IPO in June. Lastly, in its Nasdaq introduction earlier this week, Instacart made a notable entrance, initiating trading at roughly 40 percent above its IPO price, nudging its market cap to approximately $11.1 billion. The team discusses the diversity of these food companies and wonders about the risks and rewards of going public versus staying private.Also in this episode, Sydney talks about whether canola oil is banned in Europe since there's been a flurry of questions circulating about the topic. While Europe has not completely prohibited canola oil, it has certainly placed the oil under a microscope, enacting stricter regulations around the sale of oils and fats, which impacts how canola oil is viewed and sold. Sydney discusses canola oil's origins as well as rumors of a European canola oil ban. The word on the street was that the European Union (EU) had labeled canola oil as “toxic” and “carcinogenic” due to its allegedly hazardous fatty acid content. The EU's heightened scrutiny of canola oil is largely due to concerns about its erucic acid content. Research has shown the potentially detrimental effects of erucic acid, including possible heart damage. So, while it isn't outright banned, it's closely monitored due to concerns around its erucic acid content. The team is surprised to hear about the potential negative side effects of canola oil and praises the EU for being a leader in food safety.Read the full article here:Food IPOs in 2023: Cava Group, BranchOut Food and OthersIs Canola Oil Banned in Europe?

Pet owners will soon find updated packaging and labels when shopping for pet food and specialty pet food products. This is because the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) has approved new suggested labeling guidelines. Guidelines that will ensure consistency and transparency and allow consumers to more easily make more informed buying decisions for their pets.Passage of the revised Model Regulations for Pet Food and Specialty Pet Food sets a new standard for pet food manufacturers and distributors and is the result of feed regulatory professionals across the United States and Canada working cooperatively with consumers and professionals within the pet food industry on a strategic course to ensure pet food labels provide a more comprehensive view of the product.Joining us in the episode with all the details is Austin Therrell, Executive Director of AAFCO. We talk about what the new guidelines will mean for pet owners and feed manufacturers. We also talk about what's ahead in terms of adoption of the new guidelines at the state level and, for that matter, what may be the best approach to the regulation of pet foods and animal food. For more information, on this and other topics, we invite you to visit our websites - www.Feedstuffs.com and www.NationalHogFarmer.com.

Ransomware attacks targeting the food industry have become increasingly prevalent and damaging over the past few years. Between 2018 and May 2023, there have been 157 confirmed ransomware attacks on the food, beverage and agriculture industries. In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney talks about the top five most significant ransomware attacks on the food industry that caused severe disruptions and significant financial losses. The list includes the Campari Group ($15 million ransom demanded), JBS Foods ($11 million ransom paid), Harvest Food Distributors and Sherwood Food Distributors ($7.5 million ransom demanded), NEW Cooperative, Inc. ($5.9 million ransom demanded) and Schreiber Foods ($2.5 million ransom demanded). There are many other instances of ransomware attacks on the food industry that have caused significant damages, including the attack on Dole PLC in February 2023. The team talks about the broader consequences of ransomware attacks, the hackers behind them and how cybersecurity laws are falling short.Also in this episode, Sydney talks about food fraud, which refers to deliberate actions taken to deceive consumers for financial gain by misrepresenting the quality and composition of food products. The illicit practice of selling counterfeit food has become an extremely profitable illegal industry worldwide, generating around $40 billion annually. Sydney explains the seven types of food fraud, including dilution, mislabeling, unapproved enhancement, substitution, concealment, counterfeiting and gray market production/theft/diversion. Food fraud can not only have detrimental effects on consumers' health but can also cause economic harm to companies and consumers. Addressing these harms requires collective efforts from regulatory authorities, industry stakeholders and consumers. The team members each give examples of cases of food fraud and discuss whether most cases of the illicit practice are voluntary, as well as who is to blame.Read the full article here:Top 5 Ransomware Attacks that Shook the Food IndustryFood Fraud: Urgent Measures Needed to Safeguard Global Food SupplyFor more food and beverage industry content, visit the Xtalks Vitals homepage.Follow Us on Social Media Twitter: @XtalksFood Instagram: @Xtalks Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Xtalks.Webinars/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/xtalks-webconferences YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/XtalksWebinars/featured
Manuka honey, a natural product renowned for its antibacterial and potential health benefits, has been at the center of a prolonged legal dispute between Australia and New Zealand. In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney talks about the conflict, which involves the naming rights to “Manuka honey,” a product whose potential health benefits and significant price markup have made it a highly sought-after commodity in the international market. The Manuka honey trademark battle began in earnest in 2015 when New Zealand producers first tried to establish an exclusive right to the term. The latest round of the dispute concluded in May 2023, when the New Zealand Intellectual Property Office ruled that New Zealand's Manuka beekeepers' attempt to trademark the term did not meet the necessary requirements. This decision is significant as it suggests that the term Manuka, a Māori word of the indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand, is not exclusively linked to New Zealand's honey production. The team discusses other food items, including maple syrup and parmesan cheese, and the role that cultural heritage plays in the food industry.Also in this episode, Sydney talks about a recent milk commercial starring actress Aubrey Plaza that has emerged as a symbol of the ongoing clash between dairy and plant-based milk producers. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a non-profit organization focusing on public health advocacy, has taken their concerns to the US Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Office of Inspector General. The group's complaint addresses the satirical milk commercial for a fictional product — Wood Milk — that debuted in April. The committee suggests that the advertisement might have been improperly sanctioned by the USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service. Sydney gives some examples of other recent ad campaigns for plant-based milk brands and delves into the controversial Wood Milk ad. While the team doesn't believe the ad needs to be taken down, they agreed that a promotional ad, rather than an attack ad, would have been more beneficial and less confusing.Read the full article here:The Manuka Honey Trademark Case, ExplainedSatirical Wood Milk Commercial with Aubrey Plaza Fuels Dairy Versus Plant-Based Milk DebateFor more food and beverage industry content, visit the Xtalks Vitals homepage.Follow Us on Social Media Twitter: @XtalksFood Instagram: @Xtalks Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Xtalks.Webinars/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/xtalks-webconferences YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/XtalksWebinars/featured

The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently updated its organic food regulations to tighten guidelines around organic products. In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney talks about the update, which comes after a number of allegations claiming farmers have tried to sell non-organic or conventional food products with the lucrative white and green USDA “organic” label. Even though the USDA has stringent rules for what is considered organic, there are varying rules in different countries that are prone to fraud and forgery. The new guidelines require the USDA's National Organic Program certification for all imported organic food, increase the certifications of more businesses in the supply chain and boost authority for inspections, record-keeping, traceability and fraud prevention practices. The team is pleased to hear about a long-awaited update, but wonders whether organic produce is worth the price.Also in this episode, Sydney talks about a new survey from the Cleveland Clinic that sheds light on some of the major challenges for maintaining a heart-healthy diet, with the cost of healthy food as the biggest barrier. According to the survey, 46 percent of Americans believe the cost of healthy food is the biggest barrier to eating healthy. Participants surveyed also cited a lack of time to prepare healthy meals (23 percent) and unfamiliarity with healthy ways of cooking (20 percent). Access to healthy food was also an issue, especially for minority communities. The survey also confirmed that there is still confusion amongst participants over what is considered healthy, with ten percent of Americans having chosen a fast-food diet as the most heart-healthy diet. The team is glad this survey revealed these answers, but posits that all levels of government should be doing more to give all Americans access to affordable, healthy food.

According to the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF), turkey prices have reached their highest point since 2015 at $6.70 per pound. In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney talks this year's highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreak, which has played a major role in driving up turkey prices ahead of Thanksgiving. Since February, a viscous and enduring strain of the HPAI virus has devastated nearly 250 commercial flocks and close to 300 backyard flocks. In total, the virus has killed 44 million birds this year, including 4.5 million turkeys, or 2.5 percent of US turkey production. While consumers should have little trouble finding frozen turkeys in time for Thanksgiving dinner, finding fresh turkeys may require some advanced planning. The team wonder whether avian viruses like HPAI are caused by poor living conditions and lack of hygiene on farms. Also, in this episode, Sydney talks about the Biden administration's plans to update food labeling mandates to help consumers make healthier choices. The FDA was tasked with researching and developing a front-of-package (FOP) labeling system, which may come in the form of star ratings or traffic light schemes. Current food and beverage industry rules mandate that nutrition facts be printed on the back of a food or beverage package, but companies want the placement of additional nutrition information to stay voluntary. Industry leaders have already devised a voluntary label called Facts Up Front, which many brands including Kellogg's and The Coca-Cola Company already use. Not to mention, new food labeling mandates could further drive up consumer prices at a time of inflation. The team discuss why food companies are pushing back and question whether the FDA's ideas would be successful in helping consumers make healthier choices.

Signed by Governor Newsom on Labor Day, California's new fast food law creates committees, among other things, to set an industry-wide minimum wage. The plan sparked lots of outrage, but Gene Marks explains why he thinks it's worth a try. He also notes that it could well be coming to a state near you. Plus: Gene also makes the business case for paid parental leave while also raising some interesting questions, including this one: If you offer paid leave to new parents, is that fair to employees who don't have children? Gene also explains why he says buying Salesforce's new small-business CRM is like ordering a salad at McDonald's.
Food and beverage companies across the supply chain must always be prepared for new regulatory developments in 2022 as they seek to bring new ingredients and products to market. In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney talks about four potential new food industry regulations that food and beverage companies should look out for this year, including changes to the FDA's definition of “healthy,” labeling clarity on lab-grown meat, regulating heavy metals in baby food and cannabinoid regulations. A common theme among these regulations is that multiple federal agencies must work together to move the needle, which takes time, money and resources. The team emphasise that the FDA's focus should include food just as much as it does drugs and that these regulations are in place to keep consumers safe. Also, in this episode, Sydney talks about a public health alert related to concerns that the ground beef in some HelloFresh meal kits may be associated with E. Coli illness. While the FDA would normally issue a recall, no recall was issued because the products are no longer available for purchase. The public health alert comes as some federal health authorities in the country are investigating an outbreak of E. coli, with ground beef being the probable source of the illnesses. Sydney gives two other examples of ground beef-related E. Coli outbreaks and discusses the symptoms and facts about the foodborne illness. The team wonder whether companies should be blamed for not doing enough to prevent an outbreak or whether they are to be expected.Read the full articles here:Top Food Industry Regulations to Watch in 2022Federal Officials Report of HelloFresh E.

Israeli food tech startup Yo! Egg, which has developed plant-based poached and sunny-side-up eggs, announced that it plans to launch in US restaurants later this year. In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney introduces the team to Yo! Egg's plant-based “whole egg” alternative, which is made up of two parts — the “white” and the “yolk.” While the taste and texture of Yo! Egg mimics that of chicken eggs, it contains only one gram of protein per serving. However, it offers an alternative for consumers who eat eggs, but would prefer a more animal-friendly, sustainable and cholesterol-free option. The team wonders whether people would be willing to switch out chicken eggs for Yo! Eggs and discusses the similarities between plant-based eggs and plant-based meat and dairy.Also, in this episode, Sydney talks about World Food Safety Day, which is observed each year on June 7 to mark the importance of healthy food practices and reflect on the global food system. This year, the theme for World Food Safety Day was “Safer food, better health.” The day emphasizes the importance of making food safety a priority for all to stay healthier and be more productive. Sydney discusses the history and significance of the day, and reveals some facts about foodborne illness, including that there are an estimated 600 million cases of foodborne illnesses annually. She also talks about ways to promote food safety within the home and on a larger scale. The team believes more needs to be done to prevent foodborne illness and that one day is not enough to bring attention to the global food safety crisis.Read the full articles here:Israeli Startup Yo!

Believe it or not, the food industry, which happens to be a significant pillar of our the economy in which we live, rarely has your health and wellness at the centre of their decision-making. The consequence of that is that the processing and manufacture of all foods are subject to the fastest, cheapest path to get from farm or factory to your belly and for that path to be possible it means lots of toxins, chemicals, additives, and preservatives are created and embed in all your favourite products and foods to make it all happen… at the cost of your physical and emotional health. The good thing is you can do a lot very easy to begin detoxing your life and finding products and food that are totally additive fee.In This Episode We Covered:The connection between food additives and behavioural issues in kidsHow to get your husband on board with the new health routineWhere to start with your own additive-free lifestyle***Join the Busy Mum's Facebook Group here: https://mattylansdown.com/BusyMothersFBgroup ***--SOCIAL MEDIA--Tracey Fry and Joanne Ling - Additive-Free LifestyleWebsite: https://additivefreelifestyle.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/additivefreelifestyle/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/additivefreelifestyle/--MATTY LANSDOWNJoin the Busy Mum's Facebook Group: https://mattylansdown.com/BusyMothersFBgroupInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattylansdown/--Thanks for checking out the show.

In 2019, the global food and grocery market was valued at USD 11.7 trillion and is anticipated to increase at a CAGR of 5% from 2020-2027. As a massive part of global industry, the food we eat is not only critical to our economy and our health, but also a huge factor in our quality of life. It not only nourishes our bodies, but also brings people together, carries on traditions and evokes nostalgia. This episode of the Agilent podcast will take a closer look at what we are consuming in order to try to shed light on the science behind the food we eat.
Is the food we consume safe from COVID-19? How are farmers making sure it is safe to eat the fruits and vegetables they grow for all of us? Dr. Keith Schneider, food safety expert and a professor at the University of Florida’s Food Science and Human Nutrition Department answers these questions and provides more information about our food system during the COVID-19 pandemic.Dr. Schneider explains how farm and farmworkers are threatened by the COVID-19 and what is being done. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that there is no evidence that food or food packaging facilitates the transmission of COVID-19. However, Dr. Schneider reminds us that it is always important to follow good hygiene practices when handling or preparing foodsOne of the biggest production and distribution challenges farmers must deal with is their farm workers getting sick. Many produce farms are small operations run by one or two managers and a minimal crew. Thus, the safety of our food system begins on the farm and it can potentially be compromised if the workforce is out sick and cannot adequately perform the required tasks to grow and harvest crops. To protect workers and practice proper food safety at the farm level, Dr. Schneider recommends increasing the use of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), such as masks, goggles, gloves, etc., as well as to emphasize the use of suitable handwashing, sanitation and personal hygiene. Other recommendations include more distance between workers, avoid clustering during breaktime, “quarantining” people that regularly work together, and the use of barriers like plexiglass so there is less transfer of respiratory droplets.Dr. Schneider also gives strategies on how to improve farm food safety:- Put as much distance between workers as possible.- Workers should continue to wash hands as they did before.- Workers need to self-report illness and not go to work if they are sick.- Administer temperature checks, although this may be ineffective as the virus can be asymptomatic.After COVID we see that keeping workers safe the top priority. Going forward, continuing with a high focus on sanitation is the best way to keep the workforce healthy, which will help businesses stay open longer.If you would like to learn more about CDC recommendations on food safety during COVID-19, visit here.

What does the FSA's announcement about CBD mean for the industry in the UK?This week we are joined by Dr Parveen Bhatharah and Dr Sarah Gaunt from The Association For The Cannabinoid Industry where they occupy the roles of Regulatory Lead and Global Regulatory Services Partner. Join us as we discuss the most recent updates to the Novel Foods Regulations by The Food Standards Agency. We explore what the new regulations mean for businesses who are currently operating within the CBD industry and for those who plan to in the future.Episode SummaryNovel Food Regulations are a European regulations which govern what can and can't be sold as a food product.Before the food can be legally marketed in the EU, novel foods are required to have a pre-market safety assessment and authorisation under the Novel Foods Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 2015/2283)The regulation applies to any food and food ingredient that hadn't been used in the EU for human consumption to a significant degree before May 1997. The food must also be either: food ingredients with a new or intentionally modified primary molecular structureCBD was introduced to the Novel Food Regulations only last year, meaning products which were on the market previous to the introduction did not necessarily undergo necessary safety assessments.On 13th February 2020, the FSA updated its rules around the retail of CBD products, making it clear that companies who already have products on the market will need to file a retrospective application by March 31st 2021 otherwise their products will be taken off the market.New products must go through the standard Novel Foods application, authorisation and approval, the same as any other foods on the market.Products which ‘break the rules' will have to deal with the Trading Standards Association, who have the power to remove products from the market.The Novel Foods Regulations apply to anyone who sells CBD products, regardless of if they are bought from a wholesaler, produced in-house, or white labelled.The person at the end of the supply chain who puts the product on the shelves (the seller) is ultimately responsible for making sure their products are safe.To file an application, you need to submit a dossier to The European Commission including data about the safety of your products, manufacturing practices and ingredients. Once your product is validated by the European Commission, it is passed on to the Food Standards Agency who conduct a risk assessment.The burden of responsibility falls mostly on the brands themselves who are supplying the manufactured goods and it is their responsibility to make sure their supply chains are transparent and following good manufacturing practice.Key safety studies must be carried out on raw ingredients, is it a brand responsibility to make sure that their suppliers are safe.Other examples of novel foods include Chia Seeds, which are a recent health food but were not historically in our diet or sold commercially.There are plans to launch a kitemark for CBD indicating quality and cannabinoid safety.ResourcesJoin The ACI on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/association-for-the-cannabinoid-industryAssociation For The Cannabinoid Industry Website: https://www.theaci.co.uk/Novel Foods Regulations Guide to CBD:https://www.food.gov.uk/business-guidance/cannabidiol-cbd

In this recap episode, I’m extracting the valuable lessons shared by our guests in the prior 5 episodes. I offer my two cents about the practical advice shared by our guests to help the C-Suite understand the legal, political, and economic underpinnings impacting the 21st intercontinental business landscape in which they operate. In Episode 37, we discussed business crimes with Chuck Kreindler. We surveyed the current active landscape in business crimes ranging from human trafficking to trade secret offenses. My conversation with Chuck revealed that these business crimes are occurring fairly regularly, both within business in the U.S. and abroad. We also explored the U.S.’s ability to successfully compete with corrupt businesses in foreign countries. In Episode 38, we tackled food law with Professor Michael Roberts and Sascha Henry. We explored food law and what it entails. My guests shared their vision for the Los Angeles Food Law Conference which brought together many of today’s food law experts to discuss topics such as food fraud, food safety, and cannabis in food. In Episode 39, we looked at what it takes to do business with the U.S. with Townsend Bourne. Townsend shared her insight on what businesses hoping to obtain government contracts should pay attention to including privacy and other cybersecurity laws, federal regulations, and Executive Orders. In Episode 40, I invited former guest Scott Maberry to join me to discuss the U.S.-China trade war. Scott described the weapons used and more importantly, not used, and their impact in this trade war. Scott and I also discussed how surprisingly quiet multinational companies have been on questions relating to the trade war. In Episode 41, we covered the U.S.-China trade war further however this time from the China perspective with Michael Zhang. Michael expressed the “complicated” feelings by the Chinese people towards the trade war and its impact. Aside from the inability to obtain certain American goods, Michael states that China seems to be relatively unphased by the trade war. Thank you for listening!

Do you need the government for this? Shoshana Weismann Talks Unnecessary Food Regulations by Independent Women's Forum
There is a beautiful picture on display in the act of bringing a tenth of your produce to the Lord as an offering. The instructions given to Israel are that they should bring the tenth to where the Lord resides and have a feast in the presence of God. So get this: God provides all the food as a gift, the Israelite brings some of it back to supply the party, and then in a way the Israelite and God feast together at the same table. Who would turn aside from this God? I imagine only those who want to use God to meet their own ends. ::: Christian Standard Bible translation. All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.

This week on What Doesn't Kill You, host Katy Keiffer is joined by Mike Callicrate, a native of Evergreen, Colorado, who has spent his career as a farmer-rancher, business entrepreneur, and family farm advocate. Frustrated by the monopoly control corporations were exerting over the markets and the “bigger is better” mentality common to agriculture, he began to forge a new path, forming a pasture-to-plate marketing company in 2000 named Ranch Foods Direct. He chose to locate his processing and retail facility in Colorado Springs, where it has become an integral part of the community’s shift toward healthier, fresher, more locally grown food. In recent years, he instigated an ongoing campaign to establish a public market and a food hub to benefit local food growers and processors and to help relocalize the food system. He also pioneered the capacity to do on-farm USDA-inspected slaughter at his ranch, where he is also developing a multi-species regenerative agricultural production model. Considered the “go-to expert” on the negative consequences of highly concentrated, industrial meat production, he has served as an advisor for the films Food Inc. and FRESH, and for several best-selling books including Fast Food Nation and The Omnivore’s Dilemma.

CEO Andrew Dahl of Zivo BioScience joins Katy to discuss the applications and virtues of microalgae as a feedstuff for livestock and humans. Algae has the potential to take a leading role in animal nutrition, taking the pressure off of arable land to grow corn and soy for feed. Will this be the game changer in meat production we need if we are going to keep up with demand?
