Oyster Coop Establishes Mainland Retail Location
 One of the most scenic locations in Alaska, Kachemak Bay, is also the
home of the Kachemak Bay Oyster Coop. Tucked away on the south side
of the bay, it is a low impact, year round, industry that is less then
an hour's boat ride from Homer. Up until now the farmers coop has
been relatively quiet, but that changed last year beginning with their
grand opening on the "mainland". We get the latest from Sean Crosby,
Business Manager of the Kachemak Bay Oyster Coop.

New Seafood Products For 2010 Boston/European Shows
What's new to buy? That's one of the most frequent questions we
get at CI. While telling the story is important - commercial buyers
are driven by time pressures that require them to cut to the chase and
source.
The recent ly completed, annual Alaska Symphony of Seafood awards is
an excellent way to highlight exactly what is new and beyond that, what
consumers and experts find appealing. American Pride Seafoods won two
of the top three medals this year within the Foodservice category
awards competition.
The new products include American Pride Seafood's, Chef's Special
Collection™ Zesty Lemon Flounder and its Pank-O-Licious™ Kickin'
Buffalo Deep Skinned Alaska Pollock Sliders. Bryan Elmore, American
Pride Seafood's Marketing Manager said, "We are honored to receive
these awards and we are very pleased with the success that our
customers are experiencing with our new products. This is a testament
to the homework we do with our customers to develop new and exciting
product concepts to market". More |
Cracking The Time/Temperature Nut
 These food products are considered the mostly highly sensitive to time and temperature that has a direct impact on their food safety.
- Milk and dairy products
- Eggs (except those treated to eliminate microorganisms)
- Meat (beef, pork and lamb)
- Poultry
- Fish and shellfish
- Baked Potatoes
- Heat-treated plant foods (rice, beans, and vegetables)
- Tofu and other soy proteins
- Sprouts and sprout seeds
- Sliced melons and cut tomatoes
Monitoring time and temperature, after the fact, is simply not
good enough for those truly concerned about food safety. A demand
for secure, controlled temperature for transport and distribution of
these sensitive foods has been triggered by even more changes in the
2010 marketplace.
