Kraft to reduce sodium content
Food giant Kraft Foods has announced it will reduce the sodium content of its entire North American portfolio by an average of 10 percent over the next two years. The commitment to reduce sodium intakes will continue, said the company, as it aims to lower sodium in a number of products by 20 percent by the end of 2012.
Salt/ sodium reduction is gaining momentum with New York City leading the way in a partnership of cities and national health organizations to promote a voluntary program of salt reduction in packaged and restaurant foods.
The campaign aims to curb the amount of salt in packaged and restaurant food by 25 percent over the next five years. The result would be to cut the nation’s salt intake by 20 percent and prevent up to 800,000 premature deaths/year nationwide and 23,000 deaths in New York City alone, it claims. The sodium in salt is a major contributor to high blood pressure, which in turn causes heart attack and stroke, the nation’s leading causes of preventable death.

General manager of the Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Growers George Gilvesy told Toronto-based 680News: “This is just a reality of agriculture, that especially when you grow crops outside, it's very unpredictable and we have to deal with the weather, and that's the one benefit that greenhouse growers have, is they're a little bit more predictable because they've got less of those environmental factors to play with."
US largest private-label snack nut manufacturer comes with IT solution
John B. Sanfilippo & Son (NASDAQ: JBSS), maker of Fisher Nuts and one of America’s largest private-label snack nut manufacturers, has begun implementation of Demand Foresight’s best-of-breed demand planning and supply chain management software. Based in Illinois, JBSS has five processing facilities nationwide and over $500 million in annual sales from retail, wholesale and private label channels — domestically and overseas. In addition to managing many products from field to shelf, JBSS faces the challenge of planning and forecasting for more than 3,500 product stock-keeping units (SKUs).
JBSS team had the vision to see that reducing forecasting error was one of the fastest paths to carrying less inventory, and thus key to increasing profitability,” said Tom Kirkham, JBSS’s director of systems implementation. “For sheer mathematical horsepower, and for how the solution empowers our entire team to visualize and contribute to forecasts, Demand Foresight was the clear winner.”
The implementation marks a big leap forward for JBSS as it moves from intermittent high-level sales forecasting to execution-level forecasting, which delivers real-time, actionable insight for multiple facilities, product lines and customers.
“Our research has demonstrated a direct correlation between forecast accuracy and a company's profitability. Manufacturers are looking for new approaches to achieve higher accuracy,” said Noha Tohamy, vice president of supply chain research at AMR Research.
