Understanding the Different Kinds of Beef in the MarketplaceMark Moreno
The U.S. beef industry offers products that appeal to potential
customers. It accomplishes this through fresh beef identified
by different USDA quality grades (Prime, Choice and Select),
company brands and production methods (conventional, natural,
grass-finished and organic).
The taste, texture, tenderness and other properties of products
carrying these designations can vary, and marketers may
capitalize on the attributes that objectively describe their
products and their production methods. That’s the nature
of marketing.
It is important, though, that proponents of these types of
production methods not misrepresent their beef or beef from
animals raised conventionally. To claim conventional beef
is inferior because it contains minute additional quantities
of certain chemicals (e.g., hormones or pesticides), when the
amounts are insignificant and proven safe by science is not
appropriate. To say that grass-finished beef is superior because
it contains minute additional quantities of certain chemicals
(e.g., conjugated linoleic acid or vitamin E) when it is not
reasonably possible to eat enough to improve personal health,
also is not appropriate.
The U.S. beef industry has a wide variety of types of beef from
which consumers can choose, all of which are safe, wholesome
and nutritious. Conventional, natural, grass-finished and organic
beef are defined by production and marketing distinctions, not
by nutritional or safety differences.
http://www.beefresearch.org/CMDocs/BeefResearch/Beef%20Choices.pdf
The Facts; Busting the Grass-fed Beef MythsMark Moreno
Marketing claims that grass-fed beef is healthier or
more eco-friendly are a myth. Grain-fed and grassfed
beef are defined by production, marketing and
taste distinctions, not by nutritional or environmental
differences. The No. 1 reason consumers purchase beef
is taste. Grain-fed beef, like the Certified Angus Beef ®
brand, delivers the superior taste consumers desire.
Memorandum Opinion Sysco US Foods Merger / AcquisitionMark Moreno
Americans eat outside of their homes with incredible frequency. The U.S. Department of Commerce, for instance, recently reported, for the first time since it began tracking such data, that Americans spent more money per month at restaurants and bars than in grocery stores. 1 Of course,
Americans eat out at many other places, too-sports arenas, school and workplace cafeterias, hotels and resorts, hospitals, and nursing homes, just to name a few. The foodservice distribution industry supplies food and related products to all of these locations. Foodservice distribution is
big business. In 2013, the market grew to $231 billion. By some estimates, there are over 16, 000 companies that compete in the foodservice distribution marketplace.
The two largest foodservice distribution companies in the country are Defendants Sysco
Corporation ("Sysco") and US Foods, Inc. ("USF"). Both are primarily "broadline" foodservice distributors. As the name implies, a broadline foodservice distributor sells and delivers a "broad" array of food and related products to just about anywhere food is consumed outside the home.
In 2013, Sysco's broadline sales were over 40 billion and USF's were over 20 billion.
Order Granting Preliminary Injunction Sysco US FoodsMark Moreno
After considering the extensive record in this matter
and the parties’ legal arguments, the court finds that the FTC has carried its burden of showing that a preliminary injunction of the proposed merger between Sysco and US Foods is in the public interest. The FTC has shown that there is a reasonable probability that the proposed merger will
substantially impair competition in the national customer and local broadline markets and that the equities weigh in favor of injunctive relief. The court’s reasoning is set forth in the accompanying Memorandum Opinion. Because the Memorandum Opinion likely contains “competitively sensitive information” of Defendants and third parties, Protective Order Governing Confidential Material, ECF No. 87 ¶ 1, the court has issued the Memorandum Opinion under seal to allow the parties to propose redactions of competitively sensitive information. The parties shall meet and confer and present to the court proposed redactions to the Memorandum Opinion no later than 5:00 p.m. on June 25, 2015. After considering the proposed redactions, the court will issue a public version of the Memorandum Opinion on June 26, 2015.
Sysco - US Foods PROPOSED FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAWMark Moreno
The evidence is overwhelming that the proposed merger is intended to capture the enormous efficiencies in excess of $1 billion in cost savings that will occur when Sysco and US
Foods combine These savings will enable the merged entity to compete more effectively including by lowering prices to the benefit of their customers. With the exception of handful of suspect customer and competitor declarations procured by the FTC speculating that prices might go up there is no evidence that prices will increase as result of the
Affordable Care Act - Next Steps for RestaurateursMark Moreno
Understanding the ACA and “operationalizing” it in a
restaurant business will be challenging. The Treasury
Department and Internal Revenue Service published final
regulations in February and March that provide the rules
by which employers will comply with the employer-mandate
and employer-reporting requirements.

FTC Complaint Sysco US Foods AcquisitionMark Moreno
Respondents are—by a wide margin—the two largest broadline foodservice distributors in the United States and each other’s closest competitor. Sysco and US Foods are the
only two broadline distributors with nationwide networks of distribution centers, making them the best options for customers with facilities spread across the country.
Respondents also compete fiercely with one another in numerous local areas to serve independent restaurants and other foodservice customers.

Restaurant Trends 2014 by Restaurant BriefingMark Moreno
Hudson RieHle, Senior VP, Research & Knowledge Group, National Restaurant Association, predicts that the oPeRATinG enViRonMenT FoR ResTAuRAnTs in 2014 will continue on the same positive – but modest – growth path. “Overall, we’re certainly not looking at a rebound to prosperity, but things are headed in the right direction. Last year was the fourth consecutive year of growth for the restaurant industry, although modest. Moving into 2014, economic indicators such as real domestic product, real
disposable income, and employment growth remain positive.” Employment growth – which Hudson says shows signs of being somewhat higher in 2014 – is especially key for the industry because even a small uptick in employment translates into a greater ability for consumers to spend in restaurants.
Food & Water Watch Comment on Proposed Sysco US Foods MergerMark Moreno
Washington, D.C. — In response to the latest news of giant food corporations seeking to further consolidate, Food & Water Watch demanded that the U.S. Federal Trade Commission undertake a thorough and comprehensive analysis of the proposed merger between the two biggest U.S. foodservice distribution firms: Sysco Corp. and US Foods Holding Corp. These companies deliver food to restaurants, schools, hotels and other cafeteria and hospitality establishments.
In a letter sent yesterday to FTC Bureau of Competition Director Deborah Feinstein, Food & Water Watch outlines several antitrust concerns with the proposed corporate union that deserve close scrutiny; requests the agency to oppose the early termination of the antitrust review and urges federal regulators to extend the merger waiting period to thoroughly review the implications of the proposed merger.

2. 2012 IS A GROUNDBREAKING YEAR
This annual look at the future of flavor has played a distinctive role in shaping
the art and science of flavor for over a decade. This year, for the first time ever,
we’re taking a global view.
Putting a worldly lens on our passion for flavor,
the McCormick ® Flavor Forecast ® pinpoints
top trends driving global culinary innovation
in the coming years. To identify these border-
crossing forces of change on the horizon,
we assembled a dynamic group of McCormick
chefs, sensor y scientists, trend trackers,
marketing experts and food technologists from
around the globe. This year-long process of
culinary exploration, data discovery and insight
development led to a rather surprising finding. The trends impacting our food
choices are strikingly similar around the world—even though the specific foods,
flavors and ingredients we enjoy are uniquely rooted in our local cultures.
This Flavor Forecast showcases six global trends brought to life through
regional flavor combinations and food experiences. The results are both
inspiring and delicious.
4. HONORING
ROOTS
Celebrating the root of a cuisine—be it an ingredient combination, signature dish or
cooking method—is a renewed global priority. As cultures evolve, preserving the integrity
of regional flavors is crucial to honoring their heritage, even as lifestyles continue to change.
Chefs inspired by foundational flavors and cooking styles are applying a fresh perspective
that balances modern tastes and cultural authenticity.

5. CUMIN

AUTHENTIC HISPANIC FOUNDATIONAL
FLAV OR S. Sofrito—an aromatic blend
of garlic, onion, bell pepper and tomato
sautéed in oil—is the flavorful base of
countless traditional Latin dishes, from
Spanish to Cuban. Robust cumin, one of
the world’s most widely used spices, is
taking these “background” aromatics to
new places on the global culinary map.

6. Quest FOR
THE
uLtIMAte
For flavor fanatics, what satisfied yesterday will not do for tomorrow. Those searching for
the pinnacle of fulfillment in food are on an endless quest to achieve ever-greater sensory heights.
For some, the “ultimate” might equal superlative quality; for others, it is about a patchwork of
textures, colors and layers of enjoyment. Culinary explorers are seeking out combinations that
create powerful, harmonic bursts of elemental flavors—be it zesty, refreshing, umami
or pungent—for the ultimate taste experience.
Ultimate Lemon Tarts with Limoncello Blackberries
7. DI L LW I T H M I N T,
MELON & CUCUMBER
THE ULTIMATE REFRESHER. The supremely
cooling blend of cucumber and melon gets
an invigorating kick from lively dill and
mint. Prized in Turkish, Greek and African
cooking for the cooling refreshment they
bring, the winning combination of dill and
mint adds both an unexpected savory
backbone and a subtle herbal sweetness.

T H E U LT I M AT E L E M O N . With its mellow acidity, Meyer lemon mingles with the
familiar, pleasing bitterness of lemon peel, the sweetness of Limoncello and the
citrusy, herbal notes of lemon thyme. The result is a bracing symphony of ingredients
that showcases the lemon’s multi-dimensional flavor profile.
8. VEGGIES
IN VOGUE
Veggies have long been saddled with second-class citizen status, suffering from overcooking,
oversaucing and lack of inspiration. Those days are finally over, thanks to the enthusiasm
of chefs, the quality of seasonal produce and the unstoppable growth of fresh markets.
Showcased through new cooking techniques and inventive bursts of flavor, it’s finally
the vegetable’s time to shine.
Squash Ribbon Salad with Red Curry Vinaigrette
9. EGGPLANT
WITH HONEY & HARISSA
WORLDLY VEGGIE WITH SWEET HEAT.
Eggplant is a diverse and global
favorite that often replaces meat
in dishes because of its substantial
texture and hearty flavor. Naturally
sweet honey and the fiery North African
condiment, harissa, add unique intensity,
elevating eggplant to a starring role in
many international cuisines.

to adaptable squash, for a match that can be enjoyed throughout the seasons.
This spicy curry blend warms up winter squashes, while waking up summer varieties.
Savory pancetta adds a hip twist, thanks to the world’s passion for cured meats.
10. SIMPLICITY
SHINES
The most memorable food is often the simplest. As cooks focus on highlighting quality
ingredients with simple preparations, they have moved away from the clutter of complex
presentations and flashy innovations. Their creativity is mindfully balanced with a dose of
restraint. Clear, unpretentious flavors are an approachable celebration of the basics—
and remind us what real food tastes like.
Braised Cod with Gingered Carrot-Coconut Sauce
11. GINGER
WITH COCONUT
WARM SPICE JOINS TROPICAL FAVORITE.
Ginger’s multi-faceted personality
is being celebrated for its endless
possibilities for sweet and savory dishes.
Lush, creamy and cool, coconut is
a deliciously contrasting—though
wonderfully complementary—
counterpoint to the intensity of ginger.
Vanilla-Butter Shrimp Rolls Butterscotch Vanillatini
VA N I L L A
WITH BUTTER
P U R E E S S E N T I A L S F O R R E A L G O O D N E S S. Sumptuous vanilla is one of the most
unmistakable flavors on earth. When vanilla is paired with the creamy richness of butter,
this essential duo elevates baked goods. New savory applications bring the pairing to
the forefront, transforming everyday meals into simple indulgences.
12. FLAVORFUL
SWAPS
In the quest for personal well-being, small changes add up to big results. Simple, healthy
swaps can help us make consistently better choices for the mind, body and soul—without
sacrificing enjoyment. Balancing an appetite for bold flavor with a hunger for good health
is key to achieving wellness goals, one delicious taste at a time. Swapping spices and herbs
for salt and fat results in flavors that are vibrant enough to stand on their own.
Cuban Grilled Chicken with Salsa Fresca
13. RED TEA
WITH CINNAMON & PLUM
BETTER-FOR-YOU BEVERAGE MEETS
FRUIT AND SPICE. Known as rooibos in
its native South Africa, caffeine-free red
tea has a nutty taste and deep auburn
color. Having conquered the healthy
beverage realm, red tea is emerging
as a flavor in a wide range of dishes,
both savory and sweet. Juicy plums
and warm cinnamon round out this
aromatic, antioxidant-powered trio.

metabolism-boosting benefits.

BoUNDARIES
Culinary trailblazers are cooking outside the lines by discovering, reinventing and even
playing with food. We now have the freedom to explore and enjoy whatever foods we want,
whenever we want. Blending inspirations and shedding the confines of traditional “rules”
equals a renewed permission to have fun. From mixing up dayparts to packing the flavor of
a whole dish into a single bite, we are guided by a single, simple mantra: anything goes.
