Recall Reason Description

Potential for Pathogenic non-O157 E. coli

Dole Fresh Vegetables, Inc. is voluntarily recalling a limited number of cases of organic romaine hearts. The products being recalled are Dole Organic Romaine Hearts 3pk (UPC 0-71430-90061-1), combined English/French packaging, with Harvested-On dates of 10-23-20 and 10-26-20, and Wild Harvest Organic Romaine Hearts (UPC 7-11535-50201-2), with Harvested-On dates of 10-23-20 and 10-26-20. The recall is being conducted due to a possible health risk from E. coli in the two products. Dole Fresh Vegetables is coordinating closely with regulatory officials. No illnesses have been reported to date in association with the recall.

Pathogenic E. coli can cause diarrhea, severe stomach cramps and vomiting. Most people recover within a week, but some illnesses can last longer and can be more severe.

The Harvested-On sticker is located on the upper right corner of each bag and the UPC code is located on the bottom right corner of the back of each bag. The Dole package contains three organic romaine hearts and the Wild Harvest product is packaged in a 12oz bag. The impacted products were distributed in AZ, HI, IA, IL, IN, KS, MD, MI, MN, MO, MS, MT, NC, ND and VA. These products were harvested and packed nearly 4 weeks ago and should no longer be in commerce. Consumers are advised to check product they have in their homes and discard any product matching the production description, UPC codes and Harvested-On dates listed above.

This precautionary recall notification is being issued due to an isolated instance in which a package of Dole Organic Romaine Hearts 3pk yielded a positive result for pathogenic non-O157 E.coli STEC in a routine sample collected at a retail store by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development. There is no indication at this time that this positive result is related to any illnesses nor consumer complaints and it is not associated with the strains connected to the ongoing outbreaks currently under regulatory investigation.

No other Dole products are included in the recall. This voluntary recall does not apply to any bagged or clamshell salad romaine product. Only the specific Organic Romaine Hearts listed, with the exact UPC codes and Harvested-On dates identified above, are included in the recall. Consumers who have any remaining product with these UPC codes and Harvested-On dates should not consume it, but rather discard it. Retailers and consumers with questions may call the Dole Consumer Center at 1-800-356-3111, which is open 24 hours a day.

Organic Food Market SWOT Analysis of Major Industry Segments 20202027, Noted SMI - The Haitian-Caribbean News Network

A research project by the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture is hoping to understand why more farmers in the south don't produce organic crops. Professor Michael Popp from the Fayetteville campus designed a survey to collect information about types of crops and obstacles to organic farming in the region.

"There are weed control issues. There are production method issues. There's uncertainty about price premiums [farmers] can attain," Popp said. "There are worries about whether those premiums would erode if you produce too much organic food."

Understanding which of those are the biggest obstacles to farmers in Arkansas, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee could lead to more organic production. Winrock International, a partner in the project, plans to award grants for organic farmers based on data from the survey. Growers with farms of all sizes and products are being asked to take the survey.

"Something else we're trying to find out with the survey is whether interest is larger or stronger among smaller producers or larger producers or what the trends are," Popp said.

The online survey, designed to take approximately 10 minutes to complete, will be available through the end of December.

New York, Nov. 26, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Europe Wheat Flour Market Forecast to 2027 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis By Product Type, End User, Application, and Distribution Channel" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p05989542/?utm_source=GNW The organic form of wheat flour is cultivated without the incorporation of artificial fertilizers or harmful chemicals, pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.

Currently, the demand for organic wheat flour is rising rapidly among western countries due to growing trend of healthy lifestyle.The importance of organic farming has been understood with the wake of alarming health issues caused by harmful synthetic additives and chemicals.

The organic form of wheat flour allows retention of essential nutrients without hampering the nutritional aspect of the product.The use of chemicals and fertilizers in conventional form of wheat flour mostly affects the health aspect and nutrient level.

Consumers are increasingly seeking pure, organic, and highest quality food products, which, in turn, drives the demand for organic wheat flour. In terms of nutritional aspects, organic wheat flour is a rich source of vitamins, proteins, minerals, and fibers, and it is being extensively in demand in the preparation of cookies, pastries, muffins, and other bakery products. Growing population demanding more healthy food options, along with rising disposable income, has fueled the demand for organic form of wheat flour. The well-established countries in Europe, such as Germany, France, and the UK are experiencing massive growth in organic food. Moreover, favorable government regulations to promote organic wheat flour in the market are expected to fuel market growth.

Based on product type, the bread flour segment held the largest share in the Europe wheat flour market in 2019. Bread flour is the unbleached form of flour which has high proportion of gluten and is typically formed of 99.9% hard wheat flour along with malted barley which improves the yeast activity and quite suitable for bread making.The presence of high gluten content in bread helps it to rise effectively as the gluten helps to trap and hold back the air bubbles when the dough is mixed and kneaded. Bread flour is increasingly being used in preparation of larger bread loaves with a lighter and less crumbly texture. Furthermore, the bread consists of higher amount of protein and provides structure to the baked and food items. Moreover, bread flour is perceived to be a strong flour with relatively high gluten content ranging around 1314%. Bread flour is extensively demanded in the commercial baking applications in preparation of crusty bread and rolls, pizza dough, and other such products and is often mixed with gluten flour, to offer better texture.

COVID-19 has affected economies and industries in various countries due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns.In Europe, as per the recent data, Russia has recorded the highest number of COVID-19 cases.

Other than this, Spain, the UK, Italy, and Germany have also been hit hard and are expected to suffer an economic hit due to the lack of revenue from various industries.Other member states have implemented drastic measures and travel restrictions, including partially closing their borders.

This is anticipated to impact the market growth in Europe.

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled,Organic Coffee Marketby Type, Packaging Type and Sales Channel: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 20192026,the global organic coffee market size was$6.8 billionin 2018, and is projected to reach$12.6 billionby 2026, registering a CAGR of8.2%from 2019 to 2026.

Organic coffee is widely accepted as environmentally friendly product. Organic farming minimizes the utilization of synthetic and artificial additives added to the soil. For organic farming compost mulch and natural fertilizers are used in place of artificial fertilizers. Moreover, conventional methods used for farming have been replaced by new and advanced eco-friendly techniques. This improves production efficiency and produces high quality organic coffee. In addition, advanced farming technologies minimize the production time and manpower. For instance, Bio-char based organic soil amendment technology (BIOSAT), a soil additive made of mixture of bio-char and various organic nutrients, improves soil fertility, maintains soil strength, increases crop production, and minimizes dependency on artificial fertilizers. Hence, improved eco-friendly farming techniques act as major drivers for the global organic coffee market growth.

Soil Association Certification is holding a free Brexit webinar on 2 December at 2-3pm to support the organic industry in their preparations for Brexit.

The webinar is the last in a series designed to help Soil Association Certification licensees and all other organic businesses and industry stakeholders in the UK get ready for the end of the transition period.

As the end of the transition nears and prospects of a UK-EU deal remain uncertain, many organic food, feed, seed and livestock businesses are unaware of the requirements they face for trading in 2021. This will significantly impact businesses trading with the EU and particularly those importing organic food and drink.

Lee Holdstock, trade relations Mmanager, Soil Association Certification, said: This webinar is a critical opportunity for organic businesses to stay informed of the latest developments on trade continuity in the organic sector and ensure that theyre ready for trading in 2021.Through continued interaction with Defra and other key stakeholders, weve put together these webinars to ensure all organic businesses are up to date and able to run as smoothly as possible, throughout the transition period and beyond.

Weve worked hard to achieve EU recognition of our certification offer and have raised a number of other import, export and labelling issues, which well continue to update organic businesses on in the coming weeks.

Natures Path Foods is one of many healthy and sustainable food companies committed to philanthropy.

Thanksgiving is this week, a time of togetherness and gratitude. Despite often relentless pressures to maximize short-term profits, many companies are embracing this spirit all year round, going against the notion that businesses are just in it for themselves.

As we see a rise in socially responsible businesses founded on principles including inclusion and sustainability, more and more companies are putting money where their values are. Corporate giving in the US amounted to $21.09 billion in 2019, which is a 13.4 percent increase from 2018.

The vegan food sector is no exception - but with the uncertainty of the pandemic, can an industry in its infancy still afford to spend as much time and money on good causes?

For many plant-based companies, the specific ways they give back relate to their inception and their missions.

We know our food system can't be truly sustainable until it becomes more equitable, and we're working to increase awarenessaround this topic, says Jessica Appelgren, vice president of communications at Impossible Foods, whose meat alternative uses much less water, land, and energy than animal-based foods.

The company is focused, Appelgren says, on making the global food system sustainable by replacing animals in the food chain. And since their product ties in with the companys mission, doing business also means doing good.

Through donating meat made from plants, we're able to increase access not just to food but to healthier food. This allows us to tackle food insecurity but also work towards our goal of attracting meat-eaters to Impossible and helping them get over the plant-based anxiety cliff, which is a win for communities and for the planet.

Co-Founder of Mezcla Coco Sotelo facilitating an art class in Charlottesville, VA at Walker Upper ... [+] Elementary.

Plant-based protein bar company Mezcla was created to celebrate food and art, says chief executive, Griffin Spolansky.

We decided when it launched to give back to the community to help to foster art education and creation. When we give back, its never to look good. Its just a part of who we are; its part of why we started Mezcla in the first place.

Co-Founders Ross MacKay and Eliott Kessas.

Plant-based chicken company daring launched with a goal to eradicate chickens from our food system.

daring wanted to develop a healthy plant-based chicken, helping to cut down on overall chicken consumption and the negative environmental impacts of the chicken industry, says chief executive and co-founder Ross Mackay.

daring Is Caring campaign imagery from Summer 2020 debut.

Earlier this year, daring introduced its the initiative daring Is Caring. Every quarter, the brand donates a percentage of online proceeds to target organizations doing good in the food and wellness communities, and organizations that champion wide-spread advancement of social justice reform.

For family-owned and -operated organic company Natures Path Foods, the road to giving back was obvious from the start.

The company was founded in 1985, on the belief that healthy vegetarian and organic food should be available for everyone regardless of where they shop or economic circumstances, says executive vice president, Arjan Stephens.

Stephens father Arran struggled socio-economically when he was a teenager on his own and living in LA, and his mother was a refugee who fled violence in her homeland. Arrans experience helped shape the companys philanthropy.

As I grew up in the business, it was ingrained in me that giving back comes from the heart and that we all have a greater purpose, Stephens says.

Stephens at this years Eat Well Do Good Event this past October.

The company supports food banks, charities and urban gardens across North America. In the last 10 years, it has awarded 30 grants for gardens, and is hoping to expand the program next year, and announce 21 recipients to mark 2021.

We believe everyone has the right to healthy, organic food. That is why we donate to so many food banks and other organizations helping people in need. We keep our prices as low as possible, often taking a hit on the bottom line, Stephens says.

We have tried to create awareness about the health benefits of organic, non-GMO ingredients so more people will purchase organic products, therefore encouraging more farmers to convert to organic practices, to eventually make the price point less ofan obstacle.

Natures Path also remembers that giving back starts close to home.

Weve also created an internal recognition program, Community Champion. We love recognizing team members for their leadership in their community, Stephens says.

For plant-based dips company Bitchin' Sauce, giving back also means supporting employees first.

Bitchin Kids, Bitchin Sauces on-site child care, celebrates their one year anniversary.

Our approach is two-fold. First, we developed our own enrichment programs. We began last year with free, onsite childcare for our Bitchin' staff, says chief executive Starr Edwards.

The company is also rolling out a policy that gives employees the option of paid volunteer time on a weekly basis.

The second aspect of our approach to giving is in developing partnerships with organizations whose missions align with our own. Our goal is to provide funding, in-kind donations, and employee volunteerism.

Companies who talk about their philanthropy risk of being accused of greenwashing, i.e. exaggerating the good work theyre doing. But Edwards says Bitchin Sauce has faced the opposite problem.

In the past, we didnt call attention to our charitable endeavors, she says. The idea of doing good when no one is watching resounds intensely with our leadership... The point of being vocal now is to let folks know that we are willing and able to help. We want to make a meaningful contribution on a larger scale and want to partner with others who have that same goal.

With the COVID-19 pandemic hitting the west early this year, many companies have been forced to make redundancies, rethink long-term plans, and have seen funding opportunities disappear. But within the plant-based sector, many have seen the pandemic as a call to action.

A dropoff of Impossible Burgers at Alameda County Community Food Bank for Bay Area distribution this ... [+] April.

Impossible Foods launched a food bank donation program in 2018.Followingthe onset of COVID-19 last March, it increased its scope and set out to serve one million meals to communities in need in 2020. It also launched the Social Good program, to contribute to a more equitable and inclusive food system.

The pandemic has been a wake-up call that we need to be prepared to support our communities as quickly as possible should something similar happen again, Appelgren says. We now have the team processes in place and have built our Social Good goals into the way we approach new partnerships and initiatives across our company.

Coronavirus has deepened Natures Paths commitment, says Stephens. As well as increasing donations to at least $2.5 million of organic food this year, the company gave its employees products to take into their communities to share with extended family, neighbors and organizations in need.

For Bitchin Sauces, the pandemic gave an opportunity to realize how much of an impact the company could make.

When COVID hit, our flagship Givin' program, Bitchin' Kids, was a godsend to many parents. We never want our team to be in a place where caring for their family and providing for the household are not directly aligned, Edwards says.

While the current climate has challenged us to be flexible and adaptive in shaping our initiatives, our approach hasn't changed it's actively growing roots. If anything, we are more motivated than ever to give.

However, companies recognize the need to look after themselves, first, so that they can help others.

Mezclas Spolansky says one dilemma that new companies face is dedicating to giving back a proportion of profit.

Initially, our plan was to give back two percent of our profits to art organizations across the country, but with $0 profit to date and the current state of the world, we have decided to give off of our top-line sales and have given about four percent of our revenue thus far, he says.

Mezcla needs to be a profitable company in order to survive and continue to have an impact, so we need to strike the right balance between putting enough into the company to make it successful, and dedicating as much as possible to doing good.

Spolansky says Mezcla is still figuring out the best way to give back.

In an effort to really figure out what works best, we have focused on giving to one art-centered organization per quarter.

Looking after number one first also means investing in research and development, which Stephens says is an essential part of keeping your company relevant.

Consumer tastes change, diet preferences change, and you need to evolve your products to meet demand. But that doesnt mean we sacrifice our commitment to giving back. They can co-exist quite easily, he says.

One way to ensure they do coexist is to tie sales and donations together.

One of the primary ways we give back is tied directly to the sales of our organic products, says Stephens. When we launched our premium Love Crunch Granola brand, we created the Bite4Bite program. For every Love Crunch product sold, we donate the equivalent in cash and food to local food banks.

darings Mackay agrees: Research and development have always gone hand in hand, with a larger mission for social good. daring ensures it allocates resources accordingly to meet these objectives while continuing to innovate.

With the uncertainty brought about by the pandemic, it seems plant-based companies are doubling down on their values and altruism. Their efforts to educate consumers, improve the food system and nourish people in need is a definite silver lining to this year; one that will benefit us all in the future.

Plant-Based Food Companies Are Doubling Down On Giving Back - Forbes

in terms of value. Factors such as the rising costs of coffee beans, increasing consumption of organic foods and beverages, and growing number of applications of chicory are projected to drive the growth of the chicory industry during the forecast period.

New York, Nov. 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Chicory Market by Product Type, Form, Plant Part, Application And Region - Global Forecast to 2025" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p05989798/?utm_source=GNW However, the growth of the chicory market is inhibited by factors, such as health risks associated with heavy consumption of chicory. In addition, higher technical expertise required for producing certain chicory-based products along with limited consumer awareness, inhibits the growth of this market.

By type, the instant powder segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Owing to the functional benefits and availability of instant powder have led to an increase in demand for it.Also, its largely consumed across B2B as well as B2C segments as well.

Moreover, demand for caffeine-free ready-to-drink beverages to boost the demand for instant powder.In its instant form, chicory is ideal for all types of drinks and a wide range of desserts.

Its slightly caramelized taste gives them deep flavors with a hint of bitterness. Majority of the players prevailing in the chicory market, offer the instant powder type of chicory, and hence, it is expected to grow at a substantial rate, in the coming years. By form, the powder form is estimated to account for the fastest growth rate.
