We recently had a two-part webinar series with our ESG partners. In Part 1, CEO Marc Munier with DitchCarbon drilled in on emission legislation and how to prepare for upcoming and new regulations.     In this blog, we’ve distilled 6 key takeaways from the session. Discover the takeaways here: https://lnkd.in/gW4XnDeU    #ESG #Takeaways #Emissions #Regulations #FoodIndustry 

When you see this headline, the last reaction we want you to have is dread. Or panic. Having to wonder whether or not your ingredients were impacted. Or if you have the documentation to support the approval or rejection of affected lots. According to Reuters, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India inspected 4,054 samples between May and early July. 454 of those failed to meet food quality and safety standards. If you haven’t seen the full story yet, you can access the details here: https://lnkd.in/eK-QcyqE But the best defense against supply chain issues is a solid offense. And by that we mean proactive processes, standardized documentation, nonconformance tracking and management, and so much more. At TraceGains, we’re here to help you uphold standards and protect public health. #SupplyChain #FoodSafety #Quality #Spices

Proteinization—the food manufacturing industry’s response to consumer demands for high-protein options in everything from breakfast to beverages. #HighProtein gains thousands of new videos on virtually every social media channel, with more than 40 million weekly views on TikTok alone.  On the manufacturing side, we see this trend reflected in ingredient searches (with help from TraceGains Gather®), alongside new product launches and reformulations. But before we offer any predictions on what this means for NPD, we want to hear from you. #FoodandBeverage #Trends #NPD

We recently hosted the very first TG Hack-a-thon. Not “hack” as in what you might typically imagine for technology or programming, but rather as Urban Dictionary defines it: “a clever solution to a tricky problem.” While we had the team together, we presented them with a series of challenges that our community is facing every day. Some internal, some external, some about communication, some about ESG, etc. And we asked them to do what they do best—get creative. Together they brainstormed, mapped out plans, and shared their solutions with the rest of the organization. We’re already working on ways to integrate the best ideas, but you’ll have to stay tuned for more details 😉 #Teamwork #Innovation #Community #Creativity

Investing in NPD to control costs. It may seem counterintuitive, but “[r]eformulating products using lower-cost ingredients and adapting recipes to work with more efficient processes are two options for reducing costs.” And your suppliers can help with both.
