Loliware’s compostable, ocean-safe seaweed resins now available to Montachem’s global customer base

MILAN, 4-Sep-2023 — /EPR FOOD AND BEVERAGE NEWS/ — Montachem International, the global thermoplastics resin corporation, will announce tomorrow its move into biomaterials with U.S.-based Loliware, an award-winning materials science company. The debut marks the first time Montachem has adopted biomaterials into its European portfolio of plastic resins. The companies are debuting their seaweed-based resins at the Plast conference (Hall 9-Booth 141/142 A/B) in Milan tomorrow, an event that also marks Loliware’s entrance into Europe’s $3.5 billion bio-resin market.

The launch introduces Loliware’s compostable, ocean-safe seaweed resins to Montachem’s global customer base, expanding their product assortment beyond Polyethylene, Polypropylene, Polystyrene, PVC, and PET. The company expects to sign a full commercial agreement by the end of 2023, with a multi-year program to distribute Loliware’s seaweed resins for extrusion and injection molding to their manufacturing customers. Notably, Loliware’s SEA Technologyresins are engineered to be processed on existing plastics machinery.

Loliware’s entry into the EU market comes at a time when most currently available biomaterials have not met the strict regulatory requirements for home compostability, an issue Loliware solved early into its seven-year journey to design a better plastic alternative.

“We aim to be fully engaged with environmentally friendly materials that contribute to our ESG mission, and Loliware was the clear standout. Because these new resins fit into existing manufacturing equipment, it is an easy switch for our customers who want to diversify their product selection,” said Montachem President and CEO Jerry Murcia. “Expanding our resins with these revolutionary, versatile, modern materials is the right thing at the right time.”

“With Montachem, we can offer global plastic converters a cost-effective alternative that complies with new legislation, new customer demands, and new waste requirements,” said Loliware CEO Sea Briganti. “We look forward to the many innovative products produced with our compostable seaweed materials, beyond the straws and utensils already in hotels and restaurants across the United States.”

According to recent estimates by KPMG, the global plastics market is projected to reach $753 billion by 2026, with increasing demand for plastic products. At the same time, there are significant concerns over their environmental impacts, particularly the accumulation of plastic waste in the oceans. Governments and consumers alike are focusing on reducing plastic waste, the company said, and upstream companies are increasingly offering plastic alternatives to meet rising demands from customers and consumers.

About Montachem International (https://www.montachem.com)
Serving the plastics industry since 1988, Montachem distributes a complete line of thermoplastic resins and related additives to meet the needs of plastics’ converters around the globe. With sales offices worldwide, Montachem is an international sourcing solution, delivering the highest level of customer service and competitive pricing structures.

BevZero introduces an advanced pasteurization unit in South Africa to enhance non-alcoholic beverage stability

WELLINGTON, South Africa, 16-Aug-2023 — /EPR FOOD & BEVERAGE NEWS/ — BevZero, a leading name in the non-alcoholic beverage industry, is thrilled to announce the deployment of an advanced mobile flash pasteurization unit available in Q4 2023 through its facility in South Africa. This new addition marks a significant milestone in the company’s commitment to delivering the highest quality and stability for its non-alcoholic beverages. 

The pasteurization unit, a TMCI PADOVAN, is designed to ensure the safety and longevity of non-alcoholic beverages by eliminating harmful pathogens and microorganisms without compromising on taste or nutritional value. This innovative system applies precisely controlled heat to the beverages, effectively extending shelf life while maintaining the utmost product integrity. The main services provided will be:

  • Flash Pasteurization (Micro stability) of de-alcoholised wine prior to filling
  • Flash Pasteurization of grape juice to prolong storage and reduce storage risk
  • Flash Pasteurization, the loading of high sugar content still wine into export containers

“We export most of the non-alcoholic beverages we process to the UK and EU,” states Gustav Fouche, Managing Director, South Africa. “The addition of the pasteurization unit will ensure our customer products maintain their quality no matter the time it takes to arrive to its destination”. 

The pasteurization process employed by BevZero’s state-of-the-art unit not only ensures the safety of its products but also optimizes the stability of non-alcoholic beverages over time. By gently treating the beverages, the unit effectively inhibits the growth of harmful microorganisms that could compromise taste and freshness. As a result, consumers can enjoy the same great taste and quality they expect from BevZero’s non-alcoholic offerings, even after prolonged periods of storage. 

In addition to the immediate benefits for consumers, the implementation of this pasteurization unit is also a key step towards achieving BevZero’s sustainability goals. By extending the shelf life of non-alcoholic beverages, the company aims to reduce waste and minimize its environmental impact. This aligns perfectly with BevZero’s ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility and creating a greener future for the beverage industry. 

“We are incredibly excited about the implementation of the new pasteurization unit at our South Africa facility,” said Jerome Eckert-Nathan, President and CEO of BevZero. “This investment reflects our unwavering dedication to providing consumers with high quality, safe, consistent, and flavorful non-alcoholic beverages, as well as our commitment to sustainability.”

Tanduay’s award-winning rum impressing connoisseurs in Austria

Andreas Osler, Weisshaus Managing Director, together with the Weisshaus team welcome Tanduay in their product line. Tanduay, a heritage brand produced in the Philippines, is the world’s top-selling rum.

VIENNA, 10-Jan-2023 — /EPR FOOD & BEVERAGE NEWS/ — Philippine brand Tanduay has partnered with Weisshaus, a leading distributor of international spirits, to bring the brand to Austria– making it the first Asian rum brand to enter the country.

Andreas Osler, Weisshaus Managing Director, said they see Tanduay’s enormous potential in their market.

“In our experience, rum connoisseurs in Austria generally like to experiment and are constantly on the lookout for new rums. Asian rums, in particular, are currently very popular, as they are also seen as an expression of the Asian way of life and nightlife, which is very trendy in this country,” he shared.

Rum is the second most popular among spirits in Austria and is consumed more frequently than whisky.

“Rum is enjoyed both at home and in bars and restaurants,” Osler said.

Tanduay President and COO Lucio Tan III shared that the brand’s entry into more European countries is an exciting new chapter in its 168-year-old history.

“It is a great time for Tanduay as we bring our Philippine-made rums to more countries that have a rich spirits culture. With Weisshaus as our partner, we believe that we will reach more customers in Austria,” he said.

Great Potential as a Sipping Rum, Perfect for Cocktails

Osler shared that the Tanduay Double Rum, one of the brand’s most-awarded products, impressed their team the most. They were surprised that no sugar was added during its production.

“It can become a serious competitor for leading rum brands in the premium rum segment in Austria. We see great potential in this rum to position it as a pure sipping rum,” he said.

The Tanduay Asian Rum Gold, Tanduay Asian Rum Silver, and Especia Spiced Rum, meanwhile, are perfect for mixing with trendy cocktails.

“They have what it takes to capture significant market shares from leading rum brands,” Osler pointed out.

Capturing the Austrian Rum Market

Osler shared that for Tanduay to gain a foothold in the Austrian rum market, they need to let consumers know the brand through “liquid to lips.”

To achieve this, Weishauss will bring Tanduay to trade fairs where they could give samples or hold tasting events and master classes.

“Among other things, we plan to offer Tanduay tasting samples in our shop. Due to the excellent quality of Tanduay rums, we assume that the initial spark for Tanduay’s success will have been given after this introductory phase,” he said.

Growing Global Presence

With its entry into Austria, Tanduay is steadily bringing its products to more European countries. In the past two years, it has already entered the markets of Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and the United Kingdom.

Tanduay is also available in 11 U.S. states and the territory of Guam, the United Arab Emirates, China, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

Das Projekt [I Love fruit & veg from Europe] fördert schmackhafte, kreative und nahrhafte Gerichte sowohl unter dem Weihnachtsbaum als auch auf dem Tisch

ZÜRICH, 20-Dec-2021 — /EPR FOOD & BEVERAGE/ — Während der Festtage gut zu essen, ohne sich dabei zusätzliche Pfunde zuzulegen, ist nicht unmöglich. Die Weihnachtsgrüsse, die das Projekt “I love fruit & veg from Europe” an alle Schweizer schickt, sind voll von saisonalen europäischen Produkten mit Bio- und Qualitätssiegeln und zielen darauf ab, Gesundheit und Wohlbefinden auf dem Tisch zu fördern. Im Dezember umarmen saisonales Obst und Gemüse die Weihnachtszeit regelrecht mit ihren warmen Farben, beleben die Festtage und verwöhnen den Gaumen mit einzigartigen Geschmäckern, die wir auf den Tellern der Festtagsmahle vorfinden. Im Winter sind Zitrusfrüchte das Obst schlechthin: frisch, durstlöschend, reich an Vitaminen B und C und zugleich kalorienarm. Mandarinen, Orangen, Mandaranci, Grapefruits und Clementinen dürfen in keiner Obstschale fehlen. Wohlduftend, einladend und farbenfroh – Mandarinen sind die einzige süsse Frucht in der Familie der Zitrusfrüchte. Sie sind sehr bekömmlich, regulieren den Blutdruck und stärken das Immunsystem.

Eine umweltfreundliche und kreative Idee ist, die Festtagstischdekoration aus Mandarinen und kleinen Tannenzapfen oder einem weihnachtlichen Strauss zu gestalten: Einfach Obst und Lieblingsdekoration auf Holzstäbchen auffädeln, mit Klebeband fixieren, mit Geschenkpapier umwickeln und mit einer bunten Schleife zusammenbinden.

Wussten Sie, dass der Mandarinenbaum drei Hybridfrüchte hervorgebracht hat? Es gibt: die Clementine, eine Kreuzung zwischen Mandarinen und Mandarancios, die Mandarancio, eine Kombination aus Mandarinen und Orangen, und die Mapo, eine Kombination aus Grapefruit und Mandarine.

Was ist das Weihnachtsobst schlechthin? Rote Kerne und viel Glück – die Rede ist vom Granatapfel. Früher war es ein gutes Omen für das neue Jahr, wenn man ihn zu Weihnachten verschenkte und ihn dann am Silvesterabend mit der ganzen Familie teilte. Der Granatapfel ist mit 65 Kalorien pro 100 Gramm eine kalorienarme Frucht, die hauptsächlich aus Wasser (etwa 80%), Ballaststoffen und Zucker besteht und reich an Vitaminen und Mineralstoffen ist.

Er kann in Risottos, ersten Gängen mit Fisch, in Salaten, Obstsalaten und Desserts verwendet werden. Auch für einen leckeren Aperitif eignet er sich hervorragend. Die leckeren kleinen Segmente der Frucht passen zu fast allem und eignen sich zudem perfekt, um eine elegante Weihnachtsdekorationen für Ihr Zuhause und den Festtagstisch zu kreieren.

Der ungeschlagenen Gewinner unter den Gemüsesorten ist wohl der Blumenkohl, oder besser gesagt die Gruppe der sogenannten “Kreuzblütler”, der er angehört. Aus ihnen lassen sich viele Rezepte zaubern, die uns die kalte Jahreszeit verschönern. Blumenkohl kann weiss, gelb, grün oder violett sein, es gibt jedoch auch den Romanesco-Kohl, den vielseitigen Brokkoli, Stängelkohl und Wirsing. Kurzum, im Dezember gibt es eine Fülle von Obst- und Gemüsesorten, aus denen sich mit dem richtigen Rezept ein gesundes und schmackhaftes Festtagsmenü zaubern lässt. Brokkoli ist gesund, reich an Wasser, Vitaminen und Mineralsalzen und hat dabei wenig Kalorien: 25 pro 100 Gramm.

Schmackhaft und zudem ein Symbol des Wohlstands:
Linsen feiern ein grosses Comeback auf dem Festtagstisch, allerdings sind sie so gesund, dass man sie mindestens einmal pro Woche essen sollte. Sie sind die weltweit am häufigsten verzehrte Hülsenfrucht und eine unvergleichliche Nährstoffquelle: Sie sind reich an Mineralien, Ballaststoffen und Vitaminen sowie an Eisen, Phosphor und Antioxidantien. Da sie oft als Beilage gegessen werden, empfiehlt es sich, sie als pflanzliche Eiweissquelle mit Nudeln oder Getreide (oder natürlich mit Gemüse) zu essen, um so in nur einem einzigen Gericht mit allen essentiellen Aminosäuren versorgt zu werden.

Gesunde und kreative Ideen?
Wie wäre es mit einer Suppe mit Reis und Linsen, die Sie mit Ihrem Lieblingsgemüse der Saison anreichern, oder mit Vollkornnudeln mit dem Gemüse Ihrer Wahl oder auch warmen Salaten mit Zwiebeln, Trockenobst und gedünstetem Gemüse…

Unter dem Weihnachtsbaum des Projekts “I love fruit & veg from Europe” liegt ein ganzer Korb voller wunderbarem saisonalem Obst und Gemüse, mit dem Sie sich in der Küche austoben und zu Ihrem Wohlbefinden beitragen können. Darüber hinaus befindet sich im Korb ein exklusives, auf Zitrusfrüchten basierendes Rezept von Andy Zaugg, der sich mit dem Restaurant zum Alten Stephan in Solothurn (1* Michelin, 17 Punkte GaultMillau) einen Namen gemacht hatte. Andy Zaugg steht für eine Küche, die viel Freude bereitet. Sie ist geprägt von einer grossen Harmonie der Aromen und Texturen. Raffiniert, elegant und im Kern doch immer sehr einfach. Heute präsentiert Andy Zaugg seine souveräne Handwerkskunst zusammen mit seiner Geschäftspartnerin und Ehefrau Roberta Zaugg schweizweit als Caterer. In Sternekochkursen und als Coach vermittelt er seine Leidenschaft fürs Kochen, Geniessen und die Sensorik.

Spicy Organics Launches New Website Expanding Their Reach With Exclusive & Quality Products Providing Diverse Options & 40 Years Of Experience

McKinney, Texas, 2021-May-24 — /EPR FOOD & BEVERAGE NEWS/ — Spicy Organic, the top pick for organic spices, herbs, teas and essential oils online, today announced the official launch of their website and online shop. With an abiding reputation built on innovation and reliability, the company works with their own network of hundreds of farmers to cultivate lands. More than a spice company, Spicy Organics brings customers the highest quality products and premium service, while also ensuring a sustainable future for their growers, the new website will officially launch on May 24th.

The global organic spice market is anticipated to grow at an annual rate of 10% and estimated to be valued at almost 23 billion dollars by 2025. Organic farming is an agricultural system which originated early in the 20th century in reaction to rapidly changing farming practices. This type of farming uses new techniques to remove spices from bacteria, avoiding harmful pesticides. Spices are not used to merely add flavor and variety, they are also sought after for health benefits such as their antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Spicy Organic offers pure, great-tasting, high quality organic spices, herbs and more while supporting farmers and promoting organic agriculture around the world.

With a strong belief that organic food is an essential choice for personal as well as for environmental health, their products feature premier ingredients and are sourced from global brands. Unlike other spice markets or sellers, Spicy Organics maintains a traceability throughout the process so customers can easily trace their spices from farm to plate. Searching across the world for diverse flavors, the company works closely with farmers and distributors alike, to make sure each part of their supply chain aligns with their commitment to quality.

“Our story is a journey of passion and discovery – we’re enhancers of the culinary experience. Meal time is special as we congregate and share memories with friends and family and we strive to provide the products that allow you to savor those experiences.” said Sunil Kumar, founder of Spicy Organic LLC. “We are thrilled to launch the new website and strongly feel it lines up perfectly with our company core vision for growth and expansion in the future, and to support and promote organic farming.”

Over 40 years ago Kumar’s family, hailing from very humble beginnings, opened a single store in India. The family had a small farm on which they grew high quality spices and, gradually, their dedication to high standards, reliability and providing only the best to their customers grew into a sustainable retail business. Through the years, Kumar has acquired significant knowledge and understanding about organic farming, as well as selecting, growing, harvesting and processing premium organic spices and herbs.

“Spicy Organic is committed to help upgrade the standards of living, spreading awareness for increased environmental concerns and the rise in what can only be termed ‘health hazard diseases’ that come from eating nonorganic foods.” adds Kumar.

All of Spicy Organic’s products are validated through a USDA certification. They also acquire both organic and gluten free certificates, in their unwavering commitment to quality. Best selling products include turmeric, cardamom, Garlic, ginger powder, saffron and garam masala. The new website will showcase daily new arrivals and feature announcements regarding regional or local Annual Seed & Spice events – such as the State Fair of Texas – that Spicy Organics participates in. Customers can gain insights or special discounts and benefits by checking the website.

Though Spicy Organics have continued to expand through the years, they have literally stayed true to their “roots”, maintaining the same integrity the family has come to be known for.

Stuck for That Perfect Adult Stocking Stuffer? Need a Mommy’s Time Out After A Long Day At Home?

East Hanover, NJ, 2020-Dec-07 — /EPR FOOD & BEVERAGE NEWS/ — Mommy’s Time Out Wine is the perfect stocking stuffer, and can be enjoyed by just about anyone on your adult stocking stuffer list. Mommy’s Time Out features four varieties including Mommy’s Time Out Pinot Grigio, Mommy’s Time Out Moscato, Mommy’s Time Out Delicious Red, and Mommy’s Time Out Delicious Pink. All are made from grapes grown in Italy and have wonderful fruity undertones. All the wines are fresh, fruity and well balanced, and are delicious for sipping with snacks or to complement a meal.

Being at Home during the Holidays has changed. Hasn’t it? It used to be the place where we all relaxed after a hard day at work. Not now. We may be home monitoring the virtual learning of our children. We might be working longer hours, because work is now remote, and we still have to monitor the virtual learning of our children. We might have to make them lunch because our kitchen is now the school cafeteria. The producers of Mommy’s Time Out Wine understand and have offered the following thoughts to make the holidays the most enjoyable time of the year.

Keep the Holiday’s Simple; Celebrate at Home with Mommy’s Time Out wine. Being a parent is difficult enough. Make Some Memories that will Last a Lifetime. New Year’s Day is a great day to make some family memories. Try taking a family photo with someone holding up a sign with the year. It’s also a great day to measure everyone against the door jam, so they can look back at their growth in years to come. Remind each other and your children of all the good things that happened, and teach your family how to appreciate what they have. One way to do this is to ask each family member to write down three things they were thankful for in 2020 and share them over dinner during the Holidays or on New Year’s Eve.

“No matter what stage you’re at when it comes to being a Mommy, it’s one of the toughest and most rewarding jobs there is. That’s why we believe Mommy deserves something special for herself now and then, with Mommy’s Time Out Wine.” says Mike Cincotta President of Selective Wine Estates, Inc.

Adults over the age of 21 should enjoy Mommy’s Time Out responsibly.

VANCEBURG, KY, 2020-Oct-01 — /EPR FOOD & BEVERAGE NEWS/ — Some new kids on the block are emerging with a novel mineral water offering out of Kentucky, USA.

The company, River Rock Water LLC, is introducing its trademarked brand, Kentucky Pure Mineral Water. The brand offers exceptional taste and a unique, earth-friendly take on packaging. The company has been testing and developing this brand for five years to ensure the highest quality of “very light mineral” water available to consumers.

Kentucky Pure Mineral Water comes from an ancient aquifer that has been supplying the beautiful plains of Kentucky with its highly nutritional content for millions of years. As a testament to the water quality, 105 of the current 143 Kentucky Derby winners were raised on the nutritional grasses of Kentucky which were fed by these waters. Kentucky Pure lightly balanced mineral water is naturally packed with the optimum amount of minerals and trace elements required to promote biological health.

The founder, Tim LeMaster first drank from the well-head on a really hot day, sweating up a storm, and the water tasted so unique, the first words out of his mouth were, “Sweet Water”! As it turns out, farmers in the region had been saying that for centuries. Kentucky Pure Mineral Water has proven to be a real thirst quencher, satisfying the healthy need for refreshing hydration.

The entrepreneurial team behind Kentucky Pure are long time developers of new products. They have applied that product development experience to create a new development for water containers. Their design is 100% biodegradable, bypassing environmental concerns over the destruction and waste caused by traditional plastic water bottles.

Kickstarter Project ‘Did Ya Wheatgrass’ Implements Food-Safety Lab Testing to Validate Quality and Integrity

Pearland, TX, USA, 2020-Sep-15 — /EPR FOOD & BEVERAGE NEWS/ — Did Ya Wheatgrass launches their Kickstarter project, on Sept. 22, 2020. Besides growing, harvesting and juicing their own wheatgrass, Did Ya Wheatgrass validates their juice quality and integrity by food-safety testing their wheatgrass juice at an approved Food Technology & Processing laboratory. This ensures the highest quality product to the consumer.

The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) states, “It is critical that the wheatgrass is grown from seeds that are processed and obtained from an approved source. The seeds need to be stored and handled to prevent the contamination with any pathogens.” The DSHS continues, “According to FDA, wheatgrass juice is a low acid juice and, under the proper conditions, the raw product is susceptible to the growth of Clostridium botulinum.”

Did Ya Wheatgrass founder Raquel Payan adds, “People don’t get to see the growing process that goes on behind the scenes. And the only way to validate the quality and integrity of the juice is by food-safety testing the wheatgrass juice at an approved Food Technology & Processing laboratory. We want to provide the consumer with the highest quality wheatgrass juice product.” People will ask Payan, ‘How do you get your wheatgrass so sweet tasting? How is it so green?’ Payan responds by saying that the secret is in the growing process. Did Ya Wheatgrass pays considerable attention to the growing process, since it is critical to the quality of juice produced. As a result, Did Ya Wheatgrass Juice Pops are E. Coli free, Salmonella free and Clostridium botulinum free.

The Kickstarter Project, ‘Did Ya Wheatgrass Juice Pops Food-Safety Lab Tested (Vegan Food)’, is scheduled to launch on Sept. 22, 2020. Take a peek and sign up for notifications to stay tuned. For additional information, visit their website: https://www.didyawheatgrass.com.
