In the newsletter, Industry Insider also discussed transparent packaging. Packaging is at the top of the wish list for food and beverage companies that sell their products in bottles or jars, particularly those wishing to convey attributes like freshness, close-to-homemade flavor and premium quality.
The newsletter talked about frequency of reported China food safety problems. High-profile reports of food safety problems at suppliers to McDonald’s, KFC, and Heinz in China this month might lead to food manufacturers to think food safety conditions in the country are worsening. Yet an increase in the discovery of food safety threats may also be a sign that public health offices and organizations are making progress in detecting problems.
