Sustainability
• Sustainability efforts spanning multiple packaging stages
Primary Package-Material reduction-Right-sizing the package-Reducing web width and cut off to minimize waste-Using new bio-film materials for better shelf life and barrier protection-Lightweighting glass/plastic-Using water based inks to aid recyclability
Secondary Package-Increase use of recycled corrugate-Material reductions; gapped flats-Specialty glues to add corrugate strength-Moving away from bleached corrugate
Transport Package-Better pallet configuration-Recycling pallets-Cube utilization -Source materials closer to production & distribution

Labeling & Food Safety
• Foodborne illness is a significant public health burden that is largely preventable– 48 million people (1 in 6 Americans) get sick each year
– 128,000 people are hospitalized each year
– 3,000 people die each year
• Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA)– Gives FDA new prevention-focused tools and clear regulatory
framework
– Enhances FDA’s ability to oversee food imports

172009 Executive Leadership Conference 17 1717
A Closer Look at FSMA
• The law can be divided into five key areas– Preventative controls
• Mandatory preventative controls for food facilities
• Mandatory produce safety standards
• Authority to prevent intentional contamination
– Inspection and Compliance• Mandated inspection frequency
• Records access
• Testing by accredited laboratories
182009 Executive Leadership Conference 18 1818
A Closer Look at FSMA
– Imported Food Safety• Importer accountability
• Third-party certification
• Certification for high risk foods
• Voluntary qualified importer program
• Authority to deny entry
– Enhanced Partnerships• State and local capacity building
• Foreign capacity building
• Reliance on inspections by other agencies
192009 Executive Leadership Conference 19 1919
A Closer Look at FSMA
– Response• Mandatory recall
• Expanded administrative detention
