An interesting in some ways surprising recall. Quoting from their site “French’s® Crispy Fried Onions are made with only carefully sourced, whole yellow globe onions, not from by-products, to deliver an exceptional texture and craveable flavor. Our fresh onions are fried in trans-fat-free oil, immediately after cutting to maintain their natural sweetness and pungency.” This product is generally quite dry and used for sprinkling on salads etc. And tasty they are indeed. Processing is most likely at least semi continuous Raw material will be standardised for dry matter within practical agriculturally achievable limits for the onion variety favoured as will the final product which after frying will have lost moisture and have been at least partially caramalises dehydrated and the sugars concentrated. S. aureus will grow at temperatures as low as 44.6°F (7°C) and at a water activity as low as 0.83 . Shelf life will be based on these parameters as well as chemical parameters affecting oxidation of residual fats and other potential alterations over time. Although it depends on what else the factory produces, the onion raw materials should be at little risk in themselves from S aureus contamination. So without all details its difficult to tell whether the recall is because of detected S aureus contamination or potential for growth and whether this recall is entirely self generated or FDA motivated based on water activity and potential for a growth hazard. All the same I would be considering the activities going on in the lab, the other materials being examined at the same time and thus the possibility of a lab cross contamination. Together with the cleaning regimes. Human contamination of plant particularly for greasy materials can lead to S aureus growth in residues. S aureus grows very rapidly in materials containing phospholipids like lecithin.

Instead of always thinking Optimum Nutrition needs to be the "clear winner" in every protein category format for Glanbia Performance Nutrition (GPN), maybe ISOPURE is the better RTD protein beverage offering to compete against the likes of market leaders…Premier Protein, Fairlife/Core Power, and Muscle Milk. But you might be wondering why hasn’t ISOPURE been successful to those massive levels yet after ~26 years in market? - packaging swap needed - marketplace timing patience needed - retail/distribution strategy shift needed - protein technology advancement needed These internal/external factors could be converging together quickly...but will Glanbia be aggressive enough to take full advantage of it? #strategy #trends #markets #fmcg #cpg #sportsnutrition #supplements #protein #beverages #innovation #nutrition #health #wellness #productdevelopment #marketing #retailing #retail #grocery #merchandising #business #businessintelligence #entrepreneurship #consultants

New York's wine and liquor stores are not currently able to sell non-alcoholic versions of alcoholic beverages, but that may change. Non-alcoholic beverage sales are up 34% in the past year. This proposed change is expected to face opposition from grocery and convenience stores, which currently dominate the distribution of non-alcoholic drinks. Despite potential challenges, proponents argue that liquor stores are the natural destination for such products. The push for non-alcoholic options comes amidst a decline in alcohol consumption, particularly among younger demographics, who are increasingly prioritizing health and wellness. Specialty stores catering to booze-free beverages are on the rise, indicating a shifting consumer preference towards non-alcoholic alternatives.
