Happy Monday CFIN members!
Here's your weekly heads up on what’s happening on YODL and around the food world this week.
The YODL Menu
Did you notice we added a YODL Menu widget to our homepage? Now you can easily access all of our articles and keep track of what’s coming up.
This week we’re moving from plastic use in the food industry to take a deep dive into all things packaging. Over the next few weeks we’ll be exploring non-plastic packaging options for food and beverage companies, as well as how to find funding for packaging changes, and working with packaging partners to find the most affordable, safe and suitable alternative.
Monday: The Tablesetter – August 29
Tuesday: Member profile – Nutrimeals
Wednesday: Top YODL discussions from the past month
Thursday: Challenge – Finding and working with packaging partners for alternatives to plastics
Friday: News File
Something to Celebrate
September 3 is International Bacon Day! Bacon is one of the world’s oldest preserved foods, and although it can be found in a wide range of recipes and products (including desserts, coffee and even gum) in the U.S. 70% of all bacon consumed is eaten for breakfast.
