DESPITE BT BRINJAL & HT COTTON BAN, MAHARASHTRA, AP REPORT CULTIVATION

A

few incidences of suspected open cultivation of Bt brinjal and HT cotton were reported in Maharashtra, Haryana, Punjab, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh, despite the ban on unapproved geneticallymodified (GM) crops in India.

Bt cotton is the only GM crop approved in 2002 by the Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee (GEAC) of the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change for commercial cultivation in the country.

The Department of Agriculture, Cooperation and Farmers Welfare has issued advisories to states to take appropriate necessary action to curb and control the spread of Bt brinjal and HT cotton.

State governments have given the directions to all district administrations to take the necessary legal steps to curb the production and selling of illegal GM crops.

There is a well established regulatory framework for approval of GM crops as per Rules for the Manufacture/ Use/Import/Export and Storage

of Hazardous Microorganisms, Genetically Engineered Organisms or Cells, 1989 under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 in the country.

The evaluation of each application of GM crops is done on a case-to-case basis after a thorough examination of health, environment, food and feed safety assessment studies undertaken in a systematic and scientific manner

as per the prescribed guidelines, manuals and standard operating procedures stipulated by various regulatory agencies under the Rules, 1989 from time to time.

The data generated by the applicants is reviewed at every step in the development process of GM crops by various Statutory Committees under the Rules, 1989, such as the Institutional Biosafety Committee, the Review Committee on Genetic Manipulation and GEAC.

A series of guidelines and protocols have been issued by the Department of Biotechnology and the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change relating to geneticallymodified organisms (GMOs) and products thereof as under: •

Recombinant DNA Guidelines, 1990

Safety

•

Revised Guidelines for Research in Transgenic Plants, 1998

TGB’S TATA CHA UNDERTAKES ENVIRONMENTAL-FRIENDLY MEASURES ACROSS CAFES ethos, and hence, we have not burdened our customers with any extra cost for using environment-friendly products,” the spokesperson stated.

T

ata Cha is a tea café chain which marked Tata Global Beverages’ (TGB) pilot entry in the out-of-home (OOH) of the beverage category. Under TGB’s OOH initiative, the chain has made concerted efforts to raise awareness about environment.

The first Tata Cha tea cafe is located at 12th Main Indiranagar, the heart of Bangalore. Some of the offering at the café are signature tea-based hot and cold beverages, traditional snacks, dunkers, exclusive all-day breakfast and meals with a twist.

For decades, Tata Global Beverages has built its expertise in understanding the nuances of tea drinking in India.

Backed with this insight, it specialises in serving freshly boiled tea, just like the corner tea shop, served one perfect cup at a time. Further, the café interior décor, brings together a mix of warm soft wood, bright colours, and patterned fabrics to create a charming, youthful ambience.n

In this regard, the café has undertaken some measures to ensure its cognisance of safe environment practices.

These include reusable glass/ceramic serve-ware.

Right from the title, it commenced its operations, Tata Cha opted for bagasse food delivery boxes, steel/ wooden cutlery, paper straws and wooden stirrers, reinstating its commitment to create a positive impact on the occasion of the World Environment Day observed annually on June 5.

“When the Tata Cha initiative was conceptualised, we were very clear that we would be cognisant of the environment that we operate in. Since day one of our operations, we ensured that all outlets used environment-friendly products. A case in point is the biodegradable bagasse for the delivery/ takeaway orders or ceramic serve-ware for in-store customers,” stated the company spokesperson.

“It was a conscious decision not to use products that are detrimental to environment. Sustainability is a cornerstone of the Tata Group’s businesses, and this is one way that we are contributing to the environment,” he added.

“Our consumers are not charged for the reusable items that we provide in our outlets. This thought has been a part of our founding

WINE WATER LAUNCHES O.VINE CHARDONNAY, CABERNETSAUVIGNON-ESSENCE WATER

W

ine Water, Ltd, the parent company of O.Vine, Inc, has launched launches Chardonnay- and Cabernet Sauvignon-essence water to refresh the infused water landscape. The two alcoholfree beverages contain purified water and the hidden nutritional benefits of upcycled wine grape residue, and will be introduced at the Summer Fancy Food Show slated to take place in New York between June 23 and 25, 2019.

O.Vine Wine Essence Water is a line of allnatural beverages that expresses the spirit of wine and sets new standards for sustainable sourcing as well as innovation. Free of preservatives and synthetic colours, its natural blush colour and healthful ingredients are derived from the essence extracted from red or white wine grape skins and seeds.

The two innovative beverages are composed of the skins and seeds of single grape varieties (either Cabernet Sauvignon or Chardonnay), bringing the distinct essence of these renowned much-loved wines to refreshing

varieties,” said Levi, adding, “The Cabernet has a dark, red fruity character with a note of chocolate and a gentle tart twist. The Chardonnay imparts more tones of lime and apple, with notes of caramel. Both are equally refreshing and delicious.”

water, without intoxicating effects.

The pomace that forms the waste product from the wine-making process is a valuable source of phenolic antioxidants. The reuse of this pomace effectively transforms the treasures inherent in leftovers from the winemaking process into aromatic, indulgent essence waters.

A panel of food and wine experts were recruited to choose the ideal blend of Chardonnay and Cabernet grapes for inclusion into these exclusive bottles.

Only sustainablygrown grapes are gathered from selected vineyards that meet the desired parameters of flavour and quality, while conforming to the same values of social responsibility and sustainability.

“We see O.Vine essence water as a big winner in the United States, and these two new varietals will just make the brand stronger,” enthused Bill Sipper, managing partner, Cascadia Managing Brands.

“It aligns with what millennials are seeking — products that are organic, made by companies that respect the environment.

Millennials also are drinking less alcohol. This combination makes O.Vine an all-around winner,” he added.

The grapes are sourced from select vineyards located across the Galilee hills in Israel. The Galilee is one of the most ancient wine grape-growing regions on Earth.

“The environment in which the grapes are grown, the quality of the earth, and the impeccable climate are factors that determine the flavour, colour, body, and aroma of wines; likewise is our fine wine water collection,” said Anat Levi, chief executive officer and founder, Wine Water.

“Chardonnay grapes grown in different locations will inherit distinctive characteristics that are very different from one another,” she added.

“The new beverage duo emanates from single grape

Consumer awareness toward sustainability and health as integral part of their lifestyle is growing at an accelerated rate. Nielsen reported that sustainability continued to drive sales across the CPG landscape, and that the US sustainability market was expected to reach $150 billion by 2021.

O.Vine’s beverages come to the market as the company marks one year, since it debuted the award-winning wine grape water infusions. The line consists of red, white, still, and sparkling, non-alcoholic beverages sourced from a variety of grapes, and continues to spark growing global interest.

Last year, O.Vine received the Best New Water concept award at the prestigious Global Bottled Water Congress in Evian, France.

The company’s original collection is currently available both online, on the Beverage Universe site, and in-store at Neiman-Marcus, New York.

The refreshing beverages are slated to appear on shelves of higher-end retail stores this summer as the company signs new contracts with a US-based brand management company.

The beverages also will be launching in the UK and France.

“O.Vine inspires consumers who are seeking new and innovative beverages to complement their way of life, and in line with the latest trends for alcoholfree and all-natural beverages.

This was the driving force behind O.Vine’s creation of the new niche of wine water in the marketplace,” Levi concluded.n

“There has been a noticeable increase in the understanding of nutritional vocabulary and customers are no longer just blindly accepting everything that is said to them,” Motiani said.

“We are seeing consumers across the spectrum demanding a better, more nourishing and completely natural product.

They are willing to ask tough questions to the manufacturers and are actively looking for better alternatives,” she added.

“FreshTrop has been a leading and consistent supplier of fresh grapes from India to leading supermarkets in Europe for over 25 years. We have also been supplying fruit pulp and concentrates to juice manufacturers globally for over 10 years now,” Motiani said.

“We are working to produce products, not just restricted to juices, but also in allied categories. Our efforts are also directed towards encouraging and supporting good agricultural practices in India and building a culture of food safety and hygiene,” she added.

“Food is an essential requirement of our daily life and nutrition is the essential part of food.

Fruits and vegetables are living organisms, in most cases their condition starts deteriorating as soon as they are harvested,” said Motiani.

“After that it is the postharvest management that decides how nutritious and tasty fruits and vegetables will be when they reach your home. Currently, it is simply non-existent in India. In the absence of such care, fruits and vegetables lose a lot of their taste and nutrition,” she added.n

CONCEPT OF ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS - AN OVERVIEW to detect the defective part before it became a problem. The lack of detection of a defective product is a problem of its own and must be treated independently than the product problem itself. (“Why not detected?”)

The 1st WHY

Manan Bajaj, Director

Clear statement of the reason for the defect or failure to occur, understood even by people that is not familiar with the operation where the problem took place.

n continuation to earlier articles on Concepts of Training Content Development and Concepts of Training Delivery, this article may be of further interest for industry fellow dealing with Root Cause Analysis

Often this 1st Why must be a short, concise sentence that plainly explains the reason. Do not try to justify it, there will be time to do that later on in the following why’s if it is pertinent to the thought process. It is Okay to write it down even if it seems too obvious for you. (It may not seem that obvious to other persons that will read the document).

Tresbon Consulting Solutions and Services Pvt. Ltd. Mumbai.

I

Definition of Root Cause For Practical purposes, root causes are….

• • • • •

Specific underlying causes Causes which we can reasonably identify Causes that we have the ability to resolve Causes where we can think of effective solutions to prevent recurrence “ Root – Cause analysis is a thinking process that makes use of data a variety of sources to identify the basic reason (s) for the appearance of a problem.”

RCA Goals Identify…, What happened, How it occurred, & Why “it” took place. What we can do to prevent re occurrence Levels of Causes •

Physical Causes: Specific physical item that, if corrected / replaced would fix problem.

•

System cause: Possible underlying cause of physical failure.

Root Cause Analysis •

•

Define the problem Try and use SMART principles, i.e. Specific; Measurable, Actions oriented; Realistic; Time constrained.

Understand the problem Check the information, obtaining real data regarding the problem, gaining a clear understanding

from the problem source the solution is determined, the less likely that the solution will be effective’.

•

•

Corrective actions Determine and prioritise the most probable underlying causes of the problem, as the temporary counter-measure may not resolve the root cause. Taking corrective actions to at least mitigate or preferably eliminate the causes.

Confirm the solution After the measures have been determined and implemented the success of the adopted approach needs to be established. Having confirmed the success of the suggested solution then rules or control methods need to be established that will avoid the problem ever happening again. This is probably the most important phase in the RCA, but the one most often missed.

RCA Tools Let us Focus on 5 WHY Analysis in the article: 5 Why’s Preparation: Five why’s is a Root Cause Analysis Tool. Not a problem solving technique. The outcome of a 5 Why’s analysis is one or several root causes that ultimately identify the reason why a problem was originated. There are other similar tools as the ones mentioned below that can be used simultaneously with the 5 Why’s to enhance the thought process and analysis.

Root Cause Analysis Assumptions •

“Beneath every problem is a cause for that problem.”

•

“If the root cause of a problem is not identified, then one is merely addressing the symptoms and the problem will continue to exist.”

of the issues. This is when the various tools and techniques, such as Cause and Effect, brainstorming, etc, can be used.

•

Immediate actions Implement temporary countermeasures at the place of the problem. ‘The further away

Any 5 Why’s must address two different problems at the same time.

The first part is related to the process that made the defective part. (“Why made?”)

The second one must address the detection system that was not able

2nd WHY A more concise explanation to support the first statement.

Get into the technical arena, the explanation can branch out to several different root causes here. It is OK to follow each of them continuing with their own set of remaining 3 why’s and so forth.

3rd WHY Do not jump to conclusions yet, follow the regular thought process even though some underlying root causes may start surfacing already.

This 3rd why is critical for a successful transition between the obvious and the not so obvious. The first two why’s have prepared you to focus on the area where the problem could have been originated; the last three why’s will take you to a deeper comprehension of the problem. Visualize the process where the product went through (process mapping) and narrow down the most likely sources for the problem to occur.

You do not need to answer all the why’s at the same time, it is an investigation activity and it will sometimes require you to go to the process and see things you could have missed at first.

You may be missing the obvious by rushing into “logical” explanations”.

Even though the discipline is called 5 Why’s is not always necessary to reach 5 before the root cause of a problem is fully explained; or it may take more than 5 why’s to get to the bottom of it.

It will depend on the complexity of the process or the problem itself.

In any case, 5 has been determined, as a rule of thumb, as the number at which most root causes are clearly identified. Do not worry about not meeting or exceeding this number though. Just follow your thought process and let it decide how many Why’s you require to get to the point where the root cause is evident.

4th WHY Clear your mind from preconceived explanations and start the fourth why with a candid approach. You may have two or more different avenues to explore now, explore them all. Even if one or several of them turn out not to be the root cause of the problem, they may lead to continuous improvements.

This is a good time to include a Cause and Effect analysis and look at the 5 M’s.- Method, Materials, Manning, Machines and Mother Nature 5th WHY When you finally get to the fifth why, it is likely that you have found a systemic cause. Most of the problems in the process can be traced to them. Even a malfunctioning machine can sometimes be caused by an incorrectly followed Preventive Maintenance or Incorrect machine parameters setup.

When you address a systemic cause, do it across the entire process and detect areas that may be under the same situation even if there are no reported issues yet.

If you have reached the fifth why and you are still dealing with process related cause(s), you may still need one or two more why’s to deep dive into the systemic cause.

Conclusion A good way to identify if the 5 Why’s was done properly is to try to organize the collected data in one sentence and define it in an understandable manner. If this cannot be done or the sentence is fragmented or meaningless chances are that there is gap between one or several of the why’s. You then must revisit the 5 Why and identify those gaps to fill them in. If there is coherence in the way that the sentence is assembled, it shows consistency on the thought process.

INDIAN TARIFFS ON DISTRESSED US APPLES CLEARLY SEEN

D

ays back, it was declared that India has increased import tax on 28 US products from 50 percent to 70 percent with immediate effect.

This action was a retaliated reaction to Washington of delisting India from a privileged trade treatment surrounding steel exports. Of 28 products one is US apple where tariffs were increased by 20 percent, bringing the total duty on US apples from 50 to 70 percent. India is a major import market for US apples and this will principally affect Washington growers and exporters.

This concern has been going on since last year when India at the outset announced it would levy a 25 percent tariff increase on US apples. Although that initial threat never actuated, suppliers noted the disturbance it caused.

“The impact of the India tariff situation has been ongoing over the last year,” said Toni Lynn Adams of the Washington Apple Commission.

“In August, the Government of India announced it would apply an additional 25 percent tariff to U.S. apples on top of the standard 50 percent duty. This caused a rush to get the product into the market before the tariff went into place. When the tariff did not go into place, the market was flooded and shipments dropped significantly (minus 83 percent) in the first three months of the 2018-19 season. The tariff has continuously been postponed, causing uncertainty throughout the current season.”

Adams said, “Washington exports one-third of its fresh apple crop, which represents 90 – 95 percent of total US apple exports. On average, India is the third largest market for exported Washington

apples after Mexico and Canada, with Red Delicious a particular favourite”.

She also explained that exports to India are already down from last season onwards.

“India is a strong Red Delicious market, which is Washington’s highest produced variety. In the 2017-18 season, 8 million boxes were exported to India and 7 million were Red Delicious. With a smaller crop volume, this season and a potential tariff increase disrupting the market throughout the year, season to date exports to India are down 66.8 percent”.

“It is disappointing to hear that another barrier to trade has been enacted on apples,” she added. “We are hopeful for a resolution before the start of the upcoming season.”

Washington growers said that exports from last year’s crop have now largely finished and they are keeping a close watch on any further developments over the next few months to see if there will be any turnaround on the implementation of the trade taxes.

“Our shipping season to India has been complete for a month now so the initial tariff increase will not affect us right at this moment,” said Randy Steensma of Honey Bear Tree Fruit Co. “India is starting their own local apples in three weeks so the timing of the India government announcement is more of a bonus to their local growers. We will start picking new crop apples in three months. We do hope that the two governments can come to a fair trade resolution before then. In the meantime, growers are just pawns in a political game of trade.”n

D Fresh Food is rolling out iD Daileez, a special menu for traditionally price-sensitive markets. The Bengaluru based start-up’s flanker brand, aims to cater to customers in key regions, such as Chennai, Kochi, Coimbatore, Kozhikode, Mysuru, Mangaluru, Vishakapatnam, Godavari, Salem, Guntur, and Rajahmundry, to name a few.

Currently, iD Daileez has launched idli and dosa batter in 1kg packs at a competitive price of Rs 49. A special inaugural offer of 20 per cent extra batter is the icing on the cake. The company’s primary objective is to create a demand for quality products in markets that are traditionally not considered brand-conscious.

“With iD Daileez, we are looking to compete in the ever-growing batter category, without damaging the existing product’s market share, while catering to extremely price-sensitive consumers,” said P C Musthafa, chief executive officer and co-founder, iD Fresh Food.

“From our experience, over the last 14 years, we have learnt that although an increasing number of Indians rely on packaged food products for the convenience they offer, cost is still an issue, especially in Tier-II cities and smaller towns,” he added. “iD Daileez will help us reach out to these consumers, who typically do not

have access to high-quality products that are made in hygienic conditions.

We are keen to strengthen our hold in the Rs 35-50 price category in target cities to make our products easily accessible to all Indians. For this financial year, we have set a target of Rs 200 million for iD Daileez,” said Musthafa.

Funded by Premji Invest, Azim Premji’s investment arm, and Helion Venture Partners, iD Fresh is renowned for its 100 per cent natural, home-made style of preparation, without the use of any chemicals, preservatives, synthetic stabilisers, artificial colours, or flavours. The brand is positioned as a professional assistant in the kitchen.

Since its inception in 2005 in a modest 50sq ft kitchen in Bengaluru, iD Fresh has produced and delivered a wide range of ready-to-cook, fresh Indian foods, including idli and dosa batter, ragi idli and dosa batter, rice rava idli batter, Malabar parota, whole-wheat parota, whole-wheat chapati, natural paneer, squeeze-and-fry vada batter and the first-of-its-kind authentic South Indian filter coffee decoction.

A Harvard Business School case study, iD Fresh has consistently used common sense to be at the forefront of innovation. The brand has revolutionised food packaging and established its presence in 35 cities across India, the UAE and the US.n

TATA GROUP BATTLE TO DISPEL FAKE NEWS ABOUT SAFETY OF ITS BIGGEST BRAND TATA SALT

I

ndia’s largest conglomerate, Tata Group, has been fighting to drive out a misinformation campaign about the safety of its biggest brand Tata Salt after reports emerged last week that several branded salts in India contain alarming level of potassium ferrocyanide. According to reports, this makes people vulnerable to cancer, hyperthyroidism, high blood pressure, impotence, obesity and kidney failure when consumed in large quantities.

Potassium ferrocyanide (PFC), a substance used as anti-caking agent to prevent lumping in salts. The use of PFC is allowed in salt and is safe and harmless to the human body when consumed as per approved levels. This is clearly declared in the list of Tata Salt ingredients in a manner prescribed by the regulations.

Tata Salt has shared credible reports from regulatory bodies across the world on permitted levels of PFC on its website and social media handles to dispel the “fake news”, and has also reached out to various news outlets that carried the initial fake news that claimed nowhere in the world PFC is permitted for use in edible salt.

The debate or rumours regarding the dangers of adding PFC in salt is not new although regulatory bodies across the world have approved this substance safe for consumption within permissible quantity.

Regulatory bodies and associations like

FSSAI and Indian Medical Association have also categorically debunked this, but fabrication, or “fake news”, does not impact just brands but also creates a public scare around health, given that the product is something as basic as salt.

In fact the European Union, after several studies, has concluded that PFCs currently used as food additives are safe for consumption within the permissible limit of 4.4 mg/kg body weight per day. The Indian food regulator allows 10mg/kg, while Codex Alimentarius, an internationally recognised standards on food safety, has permitted levels of 14mg/kg.

Shiv Shankar Gupta, Chairman of Godhum Grains & Farm Products, which sells natural salt, had last week claimed that PFC levels were disturbingly high in reputed Indian salt brands. His statements became viral after a news wire agency published his comments, causing outrage in social media platforms about safety of branded salt.

Salt is big business for Tata Chemicals.

According to the company’s annual report, Tata Salt enjoys leadership in overall packaged powdered salt market with 25.2% share. It continues to be India’s largest distributed salt brand, reaching out to 170 million households through 19 lakh retail outlets.

Salt is one of the important contributor for the company’s total consumer business revenues of Rs1, 847 crore.n
