Once Again Moves Peanut Butter Production into New Building
Western Foods is located in Woodland, California, which is in the heart of the California rice growing district, renowned for its high-quality non-GMO medium grain japonica rice. Western Foods is a dedicated gluten-free rice and ancient grain mill. Its parent company, Western Milling, based in Goshen, California, is one of the largest privately held feed companies in the world with multiple facilities throughout the Western United States. Western Foods started business in 2010 and has grown exponentially, riding the wave of the gluten-free trend. Its dedicated gluten-free rice and ancient grain mill and blending facility have all the necessary quality certifications in order to provide safe products with less than 10 parts per million of gluten.

Once Again Nut Butter, a leading nut butter brand that’s been spreading integrity since 1976, has moved all peanut butter production over to a new SQF Level 3 Certified, 37,000 square foot facility. The move is designed to prevent the cross contamination of allergens and make the company’s products even safer for its consumers with special dietary needs. The new facility also increases the company’s annual peanut butter production capacity along with its almond and cashew butter production. Designed by Once Again’s employee-owners for ultimate efficiency, the state-ofthe-art peanut butter facility was originally opened in 2016. This year, a new jar line was installed to complete the transition. Tree nut and seed butters are still produced in dedicated rooms at the company’s main headquarters, a.k.a. the Potter Thaler building, which is just down the street from the new plant. In the near future you will notice that all of Once Again tree nut and seed butter labels will indicate its butters are “made in a peanut butter-free facility.”

A Universal Technique for Rapidly Analyzing Fat Content in Any Food Sample
The ORACLE is the only rapid fat analyzer that can quantify fat in any food product with no method development. The system utilizes low-resolution TD-NMR to selectively isolate fat in any food sample without prior knowledge of the sample. What that means is that a user can walk up the ORACLE and in 30 seconds receive an accurate and precise fat result. This has never been possible with a rapid fat analyzer, without first completing method development. The technology was two years in the making. It was verified with over 30 different Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) and numerous other food matrices that were submitted to third-party laboratories for comparison. The ORACLE has the ability to analyze fat at all levels, including as low as 0.05 percent and as high as 100 percent pure oil. The primary difference between the ORACLE and other rapid techniques is the fact that the ORACLE does not require any calibration or method development. One important factor that is often overlooked is the need for users of NIR and FT-IR to

Select the Right Pan with LloydPans An interview with Paul Tiffany, Senior Manufacturing Engineer, LloydPans®.
FMD: You’ve often talked about the ‘systems approach’ in terms of what customers should know before selecting pans. Would you explain that approach, and why it’s necessary?
PT: A restaurant is a food factory. First decisions must involve menu and service rate to define production requirements – including all downhill contributors of equipment, utensils, space and processes. All hardware must be selected to make the concept work, or it will fail.
FMD: ‘Smallwares’ is used to describe pans necessary to food production, but you dislike that term. Why is that? PT: Despite being priced lower than
ovens or hoods, pans are not interchangeable commodities. In the systems approach, the right pan must fit the concept – even if it’s not the lowest priced option – in order to achieve success.
FMD: Seasoning is a term used in the pizza industry to describe a necessary process for bare pans prior to production. What does seasoning involve?
PT: Seasoning involves applying a thin coat of oxidizable oil and baking it until a polymerized film is produced. Typically, 5-20 bake cycles are needed to achieve a ‘seasoned’ surface with some release properties. Alternatives include silicone glaze, PTFE non-sticks, and permanent, stick-resistant release finishes.
FMD: Selecting bare pans is often seen as less expensive. Are there limitations to
Glastender Introduces Space-Maximizing Refrigeration Line Glastender, Inc., headquartered in Saginaw, Michigan, has expanded its refrigeration offerings with a new line of space-maximizing coolers and frosters. The new models have a unique condensing unit design which offers increased capacity and functionality not normally found in a compact footprint. The C1SB series includes five different sizes of one-zone, bar-profile coolers, which are available in 24- and 28-inch one-door units and 36-, 44- and 48-inch two-door units. Despite their compact footprint, they maintain the ability to fit a full-height keg, three vertical rows of long neck beer bottles, or two vertical rows of 750ml wine bottles.
In addition to being listed to NSF Standard 7 for open food storage, the C1SB coolers share many of the same highly configurable features as Glastender’s traditional back bar coolers, which includes doors and drawers in a variety of finishes, finished or unfinished tops, and the capability of shelf storage or draft beverage dispensing, just to name a few. The same five widths available in the C1SB coolers are also available in low-profile heights. Like Glastender’s traditional low-profile coolers, the C1SL low-profile coolers are 6 inches shorter than bar-profile coolers, which makes them ideal for underbar or other height-

seasoning in terms of pan performance?
PT: Eventually, seasoning builds and lifts off in pieces that stick to the underside of the crust. The total cost of bare pans should include seasoning and re-seasoning, which conservatively adds $1-$4 per pan. Seasoned pans scratch easily, which means more maintenance if metal tools are used.
FMD: Can you explain the difference between competitive release finishes and LloydPans Pre-Seasoned Tuff-Kote® finish?
PT: PTFE non-sticks offer approximately 5,000 release cycles, but they’re not metal utensil safe and don’t often last long in hot pizza ovens. Silicone glaze is less durable, and offers about 1,000 release cycles with the same limitations as PTFE coatings. LloydPans Pre-

Seasoned Tuff-Kote (PSTK) is a permanent, non-toxic, metalutensil safe finish that offers excellent release in pizza and bakery applications without a definite end of life limit.
FMD: Can you share an example of how you helped a customer overcome a baking challenge?
PT: Baking brownies in a super-heated pizza conveyor oven isn’t easily done. By making a stack of standard pans to moderate the intense bottom heat of the oven and a perforated cover to moderate top heat, we solved that challenge. The interior featured PSTK finish for good release and was attractive enough to be used at the table, and tough enough to withstand metal forks.

They include specific features intended to make them more suitable for the undercounter foodservice environment, like a stainless steel pull tab handle, 24-1/8 inch deep top, and casters or legs included as standard. The new C2SB two-zone, bar-profile coolers have two doors, each with their own thermostatically controlled temperature zone for beer, white or red wine. They are available in 36-, 44- or 48-inch widths and have a 4-inch wide, insulated wall between compartments to ensure consistent temperatures. The new F1SB and F1SL frosters

Mastery, the New Generation of Cold Press Machines by Zumex Often, due to the frenetic pace the vast majority of the population undergoes, the body is not given the care it requires. To fight against this reality, fruit and vegetable juices are the best ally: a cocktail of vitamins, minerals and active enzymes that will provide energy and vitality. Would you like to learn about the different techniques for juice production? Are you familiar with the benefits of coldpressed juices? Fruits and vegetables are vital food for humans. A large part of the benefit provided by these foodstuffs of a plant
origin are due to their content of phytochemicals, a set of more than 25,000 secondary metabolites that are synthesized by the plants and that are widely distributed in more than 5,000 foods and beverages, playing a significant role in their color, flavor and aroma. The new Zumex Mastery cold press machine has joined the latest trend in the production of juices: eliminate all processes involving a treatment at high temperature to thus be able to obtain a cold press juice in which the quality of the raw material – both at an organoleptic

FMD: How important is the concept of connectivity as part of your offerings?
PC: As equipment and devices become increasingly connected, the amount of information available through IoT is rapidly growing. Providing more data points means more complete information, a better understanding of how equipment is operating and whether or not it’s trending toward failure. The impact for us and the industry over the next five to 10 years will come from adding intelligence and extrapolating more meaningful data. It will become more important to filter all the data that can be realized from IoT and push intelligence to the edge. It also will be important to be able to contextualize that data, provide smart interpretation and enable predictive maintenance and analysis. This will help reduce risk and maintenance costs and decrease equipment

When you have a really great product, competitors try to imitate. Low-cost imports recently became available, but these may lack safety features and certifications. “Without UL/CSA and NSF testing and approval, can you really be sure the glass washer is reliably safe and worth the liability risk?” says George Shepherd, President of Bar Maid. Shepherd warns not to be influenced by the CE mark, which is often the only mark found on imported products. CE is not valid in the USA or Canada. It is often “self-declared” with no testing, and may not be recognized by insurance companies, health departments or other agen-
cies in the United States. Bar Maid Electric Glass Washers offer unmatched quality, performance and safety. The A Series Upright Glass Washer and SS Series Submersible Glass Washer feature heavy duty, durable construction that is built tough for use in even the busiest, most demanding bars and restaurants. Both models are used by many of America’s largest chains. Factors that set Bar Maid Electric Glass Washers above the competition: exclusive new two-year warranty (registration required for year two); electrical safety testing and certification to UL and CSA required by OSHA and most health departments; sanitation testing and certification to NSF standards required by health departments; “Bi-Bristle” brushes perform significantly better and far outlast import brands, with a large variety of
BSI Celebrates 40 Years An interview with Wayne Sirmons, Marketing Director, BSI.
FMD: BSI is celebrating its 40-year anniversary this year. How has the company changed over the last four decades? WS: Forty years ago, we started out as Brass Smith, making custom brass beds. That quickly evolved into custom fabrication for hospitality. We made everything from luggage carts to bar rails – and of course, we made our share of those big, brass sneeze guards. We saw the problems associated with those cumbersome, welded guards and introduced ZGuard to the market. That
changed everything. It’s still the industry standard for style, quality and adjustability. FMD: What’s the secret to still being a market leader after all these years?
WS: We never stop innovating. Even though BSI is the industry standard, we still spend a lot of time and resources on developing new products or improving existing products. Our customers appreciate the fact that BSI will try to find solutions to problems that other companies won’t even attempt to address. Just as important as our great products, our customer serv-
US INC: Quality Products at Competitive Prices US INC, a manufacturer of quality commercial foodservice products, is located in Beltsville, Maryland, Kowloon, Hong Kong and Vancouver, Canada with distribution partners throughout the United States. The company’s main objective is to manufacture quality refrigerators, freezers, kitchen cooking equipment and other products for the commercial foodservice industry at a competitive price.
One of US INC’s long-time distributors in Florida, Mark Lauro of Lauro Restaurant Equipment, said, “I am so glad I changed my entire business model around using US INC products to replace many of my other suppliers because of their high quality and competitive pricing. If I have a question and problem, their customer service center is always helpful and available 365 days a year. Is there any possibility of increasing the
Glastender Introduces Space-Saving Fusion Sink Glastender, Inc., headquartered in Saginaw, Michigan, has created a new product category with the release of its patent-pending, space-saving Fusion sink. Space behind a bar is almost always at a premium. Despite the fact that space is limited, there are certain pieces of equipment that every bar must have in order to function properly and meet code requirements. Two such products are a
hand sink and a wet waste sink. A hand sink is required to meet code in a foodservice establishment and a wet waste sink is required to meet functionality requirements. A wet waste sink, also known as a dump sink, is the place where the leftover ice, condiments and stir sticks are dumped into a perforated strainer, which allows the ice to melt away while capturing the solid waste. Once the ice has melted, the solid waste

accessory brushes for cleaning virtually any size of glass; Made in USA and known for reliability for nearly 60 years. Bar Maid customers asked for a super power, quiet operation blender and the BLE-300 3HP Heavy Duty Blender delivers. With simple Hi/Low On/Off controls and a virtually unbreakable BPA-free 64 ounce Eastman Tritan® Copolyester container, this blender has the power and versatility professionals need behind the bar and in the commercial kitchen. Bar Maid’s top-selling GP-100 Glass Polisher is fast and efficient, at least five times faster than hand polishing, easily paying for itself with huge labor savings and more sanitary than using a bar rag. But the number one reason customers say they are buying it is safety. With the GP100 there’s virtually no glass breakage or associated injuries, reducing glassware expenses and potential workers compen-
sation claims. While the GP-100 is key to sparkling glassware, the new CP7000 Cutlery Polisher quickly turns wet, clean cutlery into dry, spotfree, sparkling cutlery. Water-spotted cutlery can make patrons question its cleanliness. The CP-7000 can polish up to 7,000 pieces per hour, removing water spots and eliminating unsanitary hand polishing. “The glass polisher and cutlery polisher are the perfect polishing partners,” said Shepherd. “Busy restaurants, hotels and banquet providers are going to love the time-saving efficiency and sparkling results.” Have a lower volume of glasses to polish? The hand-held GP-1M Glass Polishing Wand has a soft, lint-free cloth sleeve covering its flexible rubber tip and conforms to the shape of glassware. It is perfectly shaped to polish inside tall champagne glasses.

products does BSI offer?
FMD: How does your customer service set you apart from other companies?
WS: It feels like a cliché to say we have the best customer service, but we built our business on customer service. It’s what fuels our growth. Every few years, we commission independent market research to see how we stack up – and we invariably come out on top for quality, innovation and customer service. As we enter our 40th year, BSI has committed to up our customer service even more. I think customers are going to be impressed with our new levels of service. FMD: Besides food guards, what other
line to include other foodservice products?” That is exactly what US INC did during its 2018 fiscal year. The company has just received its new LCD glass door display refrigerators and Lauro told the company that they are “Amazing!” US INC distributors work collectively with its product design and development team to continue to add new products, new designs and make adjustments to improve the US product line. Its Operations Department works closely with its factories to assure the highest quality and most durable composition during the manufacturing process.
is discarded. Glastender has turned difficulty into opportunity with the release of the Fusion sink, which is a combination hand sink and wet waste sink. The unique tiered design of the Fusion sink has the hand sink on top and the wet waste sink offset below. As an added benefit, the hand sink drains into the wet waste sink to help melt ice. The all stainless steel and welded construction of the Fusion sink ensures the quality and durability of the unit. The upper hand sink includes a hot and cold water faucet, soap dispenser and side splashes. The side walls also serve as side
WS: BSI is known for quality food guards, but that’s just the beginning. We have inhouse stainless fabrication capabilities. We build everything from counters and custom sinks to work tables, floor troughs and custom cold pans. We build custom refrigeration and custom heated merchandisers. We have a state-of-the-art millwork shop that can build pretty much anything you can think of. We even have in-house countertop fabrication. We made our own oven so we can form and bend solid surface material to create stunning counters and carts. We like to say, ‘From guard to ground, BSI builds it beautifully.’ For more information, www.bsidesigns.com.

US INC has added two more product lines designed around quality at a competitive price: wire shelving products and the new LCD glass door display reachins (with in-the-door translucent integrated video screens).

To complete the unit, the front skirt also includes an integrated, flush-front Cfold paper towel dispenser. Overall, the 12-inches wide by 24-inches deep Fusion sink provides the functionality of a hand sink and wet waste sink, which normally would take up twice as much space. “We are excited to release yet another industry first product and we are sure that the space-saving qualities of our new Fusion sink will make a lot of people happy,” stated Todd Hall, President of Glastender.
