The Language of Food Marketing - a 100% natural, free range, organic, GMO free talk.
Speaking about different topics in food labeling and food marketing.
What does organic mean? What does all-natural mean?
This document compares humane and industrial meat production. It notes that the average American consumes 195 pounds of meat annually. Grass-fed meat comes from animals raised on mother's milk and grass, without confinement, antibiotics, or hormones. Industrial meat comes from animals raised in confined animal feeding operations, fed grain with growth hormones and antibiotics, and slaughtered young. Grass-fed meat has more omega-3 fatty acids and oleic acid but less saturated and trans fats than grain-fed meat. The document discusses humane versus industrial slaughter methods and where to purchase grass-fed meat through farmers markets, restaurants or grocery stores carrying humane labels.
A brief summary of international research to define food fraud and the risks. Presents examples of food fraud incidents in Australia, as presented in media reports.
This document discusses food safety risks related to adulterated and misbranded gluten-free products. It begins with an introduction to Darrel Suderman, PhD and his background and experience in food science. The document then covers topics including what glutens are, popular gluten-free products, litigation opportunities around mislabeling of gluten-free products, and risk management practices for food safety incidents. Testing methodologies like ELISA for detecting gluten are also summarized.
Mandatory labeling of genetically modified foods should be required for three reasons:
1) Consumers have a right to know what is in their food and how it was produced so they can make informed choices for themselves and their families.
2) Labeling would not hinder the biotechnology process or food production but would provide transparency about GMO content.
3) Other countries already require labeling of GMOs and the food industry is able to comply, showing that labeling can be implemented without too much difficulty or cost.

The document discusses concerns around food additives and GMOs in the US food supply. It notes that the US allows many ingredients banned in other countries due to health effects. It provides a list of controversial additives like artificial colors, HFCS, BVO, azodicarbonamide. It argues that increased food processing and additives have negatively impacted nutrition and health. It calls for educating consumers about additives and GMOs and advocating for mandatory GMO labeling.
Purity in Plastics - The Fear is in the UnknownPracticomm LLC
This document discusses the presence of animal by-products and stearates in plastic food packaging and products. It notes that these rendered animal products are unregulated and can contaminate foods. The document introduces The Premier Group International and its ERC certification program, which certifies plastics that are free of animal by-products and stearates. It promotes the company's PurOlyn plastic resin and food containers that are ERC certified as 100% pure, animal by-product free and vegan. The certification is described as important for religious groups like Muslims and for health-conscious consumers.
If all Americans switched to a vegetarian diet:
- Greenhouse gas emissions from livestock would decrease significantly, as cows are a major source of methane. However, the farming equipment used to grow crops still contributes to emissions.
- Personal health could improve, as vegetarian diets are linked to lower risks of heart disease, cancer and lower BMI. However, vegetarian diets require careful planning to avoid deficiencies.
- The economy would be impacted as meat production and associated jobs would decline. However, the projected growth of the plant-based food market could help maintain exports and drive distribution changes.
This document discusses dietary supplements and their regulation. It notes that 40-50% of US households purchase supplements, which are a $13.9 billion industry. The top supplement categories are vitamins, herbals/botanicals, and sports nutrition. Unlike drugs, supplements are largely unregulated and manufacturers are not required to prove supplements are effective or safe before selling them. This poses risks to consumers from products that may not contain their claimed ingredients or could interact harmfully with other supplements, drugs, or medical conditions. The document advises consumers to consult health professionals when taking supplements.
This document discusses organic farming and certification in Hawaii. It provides information from Alika Atay, the founding director of Hawaiian Indigenous Natural Agriculture, who certifies farms as organic according to Hawaiian rather than USDA standards. It also discusses the policies of the Hawaii Farmers Union United in supporting sustainable agricultural practices, small family farms, and ensuring food safety standards are appropriate for local growers. The document contrasts USDA organic certification which prohibits GMOs from Hawaiian Indigenous Natural Agriculture certification, and notes that "organic" does not necessarily mean a farm meets food safety standards.
This document discusses forces driving changing consumer demand for food, including health and wellness trends among millennial consumers. Millennials are increasingly concerned with organic, gluten-free, and allergen-friendly foods, and they are heavily influenced by health and nutrition discussions on social media. The aging population and concerns about childhood obesity are also increasing demand for healthier options. Government policies and increased scientific information are raising awareness of issues like processed meats and GMOs.

1) The document discusses how the chemical diacetyl used in microwave popcorn's "butter flavoring" has caused a lung disease called bronchiolitis obliterans in popcorn factory workers and may also pose risks to consumers. A government agency was warned about this risk but did not adequately respond.
2) Factory farming, which confines thousands of animals in tight spaces, dominates U.S. meat production and causes environmental and health problems. A new map shows where these factory farms are concentrated. Consumers are impacted by the antibiotic and hormone use in these systems.
3) Recent large meat recalls and various food safety issues over the past year and a half have undermined consumer confidence in food safety.
The document discusses the issue of milk adulteration in India. It notes that a survey found 68.4% of milk in India was adulterated, containing substances like urea and detergent which can harm infants. Experts say adulterated milk has led to increased diseases in children. There are also issues with fake and substandard baby formula products due to lack of regulations and enforcement. Proper laws and tracking technologies are needed to curb the problem and protect public health.
This document discusses the poor state of nutrition and diet in America, and promotes Zija as a nutritional supplement product. It notes that the average American diet is low in nutrients and high in unhealthy ingredients. It then summarizes Zija as a product containing 92 nutrients from moringa that can help address nutritional deficiencies. The document promotes the financial opportunity of Zija's multi-level marketing compensation plan.

The document discusses arguments for and against requiring labels on genetically modified (GMO) food products. It outlines concerns that GMOs may pose health or environmental risks, though major scientific organizations have deemed GMOs safe. The author argues that consumers have a right to know what is in their food and that labels could increase transparency and trust. Labeling policies in Vermont and stances of companies like Campbell Soup are cited as evidence that labels do not hurt companies or raise food costs. The document concludes by debating the USDA's recent definition of bioengineering disclosure.

The document argues that genetically modified (GM) foods should be labeled to provide transparency to consumers. It presents both sides of the debate, with opponents arguing labeling is costly and implies risk, while supporters believe consumers have a right to know what is in their food. The author ultimately supports mandatory GM labeling that is clearly written and understandable to consumers. Requiring labels could increase consumer trust and give a sense of control over food choices, based on positive examples from Vermont and food companies like Campbell Soup. However, debates continue over definitions and methods of disclosure in current federal GM labeling standards.

Why Labeling Makes Sense
J am often asked about why GE ingredients should be
present on our food labels, as well as whether the govern-
ment actually has the power and responsibility to label.
In a recent presentation at TEDxManhattan, I tried to
address these questions, and have highlighted many of
them here.
What Are GE Crops? Haven't We
Been Genetically Engineering
Crops since the First Seed Breeders
Thousands of Years Ago?
GE plants or animals have had their genetic makeup
altered to exhibit traits that are not naturally theirs.
In other words, these are organisms created by the trans-
fer and introduction of genetic material from other species in
ways that could not occur in nature or through traditional
breeding methods. Monsanto is one of the leading finns in
this space. Their website draws a clear distinction between
genetically engineered and conventionally bred crops.
Interestingly, the U.S. Commerce Department and
specifically the U.S. Patent Office clearly sees these organ-
isms as something unique and new, for they have granted
the seed-chemical companies hundreds of patents for these
new life forms. And these companies have spent many
millions of dollars vigorously and successfully defending
their patents from infringement.
Yet over at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA), there is general presumption that these foods are
essentially the same as non-GE foods. In fact, the policy at
FDA is that as long as GE crops are "substantially equiva-
lent" to non-GE crops in terms of nutritional parameters
like calories, carbohydrates, fiber, and protein, they are
also presumably safe, and therefore do not necessitate
labels to make consumers aware of when they are buying
and eating these foods.
How Common Are GE Foods?
Since 1996, when the first GE crops were approved for
commercial use and introduction, they have been extra-
ordinarily successful in penetrating the marketplace.
Today, GE soy makes up 90o/o-plus of the soybeans grown
in the US, GE corn is roughly 8So/o of all corn, and sev-
eral other GE crops including sugar beets and cotton are
equally dominant in the market place.
Particularly because of their dominance in soy and
corn, this means that over 70o/o of the processed foods we
eat contain genetically engineered material. The data is clear
that the vast majority of Americans do not know that.
Who Else Labels GE Foods?
It is worth noting that 64 other nations around the world
including all of the EU, Russia and China have required
labeling when approving these crops.
Are They Safe?
Because it has only been 16 years since the introduction
of GE crops and they have been grown particularly fast in
only the last 8 years, we don't yet know, and we probably
won't know for a generation, about the impacts of today's
first-generation-GE crops. In short, no one can credibly
claim whether they are or aren't safe from a long-term
pe ...
For people suffering with Type 2 Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, and High Cholesterol problems, it is vital to understand Food Labels that describe what a product has in it. It is equally important to be able to understand what Nutrition Labels are telling you. Hopefully, this document I put together from the FDA site will be make that process much easier to understand.
Remember to adjust the numbers in accordance to your particular target goals and individual needs. Enjoy!
This document provides links to various government resources related to nutrition facts labels, including the FDA, USDA, and CDC websites. The FDA links include pages on the Nutrition Facts Label program, education resources, food ingredients and labeling laws. The USDA links cover MyPlate dietary guidelines, a dietary tracker tool, and national nutrient database. The CDC link is for the Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity.
The document discusses several unethical practices in the food industry from production to marketing. At the production stage, large corporations like Tyson, Smithfield, and KFC are accused of inhumane treatment of animals. Nestle was found to still use child labor in cocoa farms despite promises to stop. Monsanto uses questionable genetic engineering techniques. Improper use of chemicals, water, and false labeling are other issues. Misleading marketing claims by Complan, Horlicks, Red Bull and Tropicana show unethical advertising. Nestle promoted infant formula in poor nations irresponsibly. Overall, the text calls for more humane, environmentally friendly, and transparent practices across the food supply chain.
Due to economic improvement, competitive retail pricing, and increased product selection along with the potential of further education and promotion towards consumers, 2015 will prove to be a landmark year for the organic food industry. This deck provides relevant insights and trends.

Added sugars!!!
Major American food associations have opposed the label change, indicating "lack of merit" and "no preponderance of evidence" to justify the inclusion of sugar

* diet shall be derived solely from forage consisting of grass, forbs , browse, or cereal crops in the vegetative (pre-grain) state.
* Animals cannot be fed grain or grain byproducts
* must have continuous access to pasture during the growing season.
Better for you: less fat, unlikely to be from the US, eco-friendly

FDA” From a food science perspective, it is difficult to define a food product that is 'natural' because the food has probably been processed and is no longer the
product of the earth.That said, FDA has not developed a definition for use of the term natural or its derivatives. However, the agency has not objected to the use of
the term if the food does not contain added color, artificial flavors, or synthetic substances.”
