NutraCea plans to exit bankruptcy
NutraCea, a world leader in stabilized rice bran (SRB) nutrient research and technology
announced that on June 24, 2010, the Company and its Official Committee of Unsecured

and employees for their ongoing commitment to NutraCea during our reorganization
process. Their support has been instrumental in getting our Company to this significant

subsidiaries, are merging to create one consumer foods business, Adams Foods Ltd. This will
take effect from 3 October 2010. The new company will combine the marketing capability of

will remain fully operation........ Read

Cedenco Australia sold
Australia’s largest tomato processor, the Echuca-based Cedenco Australia, has been sold to a
Japanese food manufacturer after nearly eight months in receivership. The company
maintained normal production during the receivership and the sale will result in creditors
being paid in full, said KordaMentha partner Craig Shepard. Mr Shepard said the Receivers
and Managers have entered a conditional agreement with a subsidiary of Kagome Co., Ltd


for the sale of all of the assets of Cedenco Australia and related trading entities. “This will
place Cedenco Australia in the hands of a major global industry participant which has been
operating in the tomato business for more than 100 years. Kagome is the largest primary
producer of tomato based ingredients in Japan.”, Mr Shepard said. Mr Shepard said Kagome
was selected as the preferred bidder in a competitive sale process conducted by Goldman
Sachs JBWere. The sale will take about a month to complete, with business agreements and
leases to be transferred........ Read

‘Yes’ vote a major step forward for Fonterra (New Zealand)
Agriculture Minister David Carter is pleased that Fonterra shareholders have delivered such
a resounding result on the reform of the cooperative’s capital structure. “This is a critical
step towards Fonterra developing a more stable capital base,” says Mr Carter. “The result
shows that Fonterra management listened to its farmers and delivered a package that meets
both the objectives of the cooperative and its shareholder. "The Government's goal is to
promote a vibrant and innovative dairy sector by ensuring that the market for farmers' milk
is contestable and that open entry and exit is maintained.” Mr Carter says that pending the
final design of Fonterra's capital structure, the Government in consultation with all dairy
industry stakeholders will determine how the current regulatory regime should be modified.
“This will allow Fonterra's capital structure changes to proceed while ensuring that the
Government's contestability objectives are met on a continuing basis."......... Read

General Mills lays out 5-year growth plan – targets sales at $18b
General Mills Inc laid out a five-year growth plan on Thursday that includes increasing
earnings per share by at least 45 percent from current levels and reaching $18 billion in
sales. The maker of Cheerios cereal and Progresso soups said drivers of that growth include
expanding in emerging markets such as Russia, China, Brazil and India and new products
such as Pillsbury mini pancakes, Yoplait smoothies and chocolate Cheerios. For fiscal year
2010, which ended on May 30, General Mills earned $2.24 per share on sales of $14.8
billion. By fiscal 2015, the company is targeting international sales of at least $3.7 billion, up
from $2.7 billion now. It expects about $900 million of that to come from China, which
currently accounts for $350 million. The company laid out its plan during an investor
meeting that was simultaneously broadcast over the Internet. The company said it is aiming
for its business supplying U.S. retailers, its biggest, to reach $12 billion by 2015, up from
$10.3 billion in 2010........ Read

million) boosting production in Africa in an effort to increase its market share, Chief

Nestle, based in Vevey, Switzerland, plans to boost its share of emerging market sales over
the next decade to 45 percent from 35 percent now, Bulcke said........ Read

Glanbia disposal of dairy arm on back burner after pension plan knockback
GLANBIA’S PLAN to try and reheat its proposal to offload the Irish dairy business to members
of the co-operative appears to have hit a road block with the decision of the Pensions Board
to knock back the proposed restructuring plan for its pension deficit. Under the terms of the
deal, the majority of Glanbia’s €85.8 million pension deficit would have transferred with the
dairy business to its new owners. This didn’t sit well with many farmers and co-op members
and is thought to have played a role in the proposal being narrowly voted down at an EGM in
Kilkenny recently. Glanbia paid €25.6 million in contributions to its various pension schemes
in Ireland and the UK last year. Glanbia must now go back to the drawing board and devise a
new funding plan that will get the pension scheme into solvency within 10 years, rather than
the 14-year timeframe sought by the company and the funds trustees. It’s understood that
the company had originally wanted to wipe out the deficit over 17 years, something the
regulator was never likely to agree to.......... Read

ADM Creates Strategic Investment in China
Archer Daniels Midland Company announced two key actions that advance its strategy for
profitable growth in China and throughout Asia: the opening of a Beijing office; and a
strategic investment in, and memorandum of understanding with, the Agricultural Bank of
China. “China’s agricultural market is growing in both supply and demand and represents
significant growth opportunities for ADM,” said ADM Chairman, CEO and President Patricia
Woertz. “These actions position ADM well to expand its participation in that growing
market.” The Company will open an office in Beijing in 2010, and has named Ismael Roig to
lead ADM’s Asian business and growth activities. Roig was named vice president and
executive director, Asia-Pacific, and will report to John Rice, executive vice president,
Commercial and Production. Roig previously served as vice president, Planning and Business
Development. “Ismael’s strategic acumen and commitment to developing ADM’s business
will serve the Company well as we seek to grow with the Chinese market and expand our
presence in Asia overall,” said Rice. ADM also announced that it will make a US$100 million
investment in Agricultural Bank of China (ABC). ADM and ABC also announced an agreement
to advance both organizations’ plans for growth in China....... Read

Redpoint's intellectual property covering the sweetness enhancer........... Read

Martek Biosciences Restructures Manufacturing Operations
Martek Biosciences Corporation has announced that it plans to restructure its Winchester,
Ky., manufacturing facilities in an effort to streamline operations, improve capacity
utilization, and reduce manufacturing costs and operating expenses. As part of the
restructuring, to be completed by the end of fiscal 2010, Martek plans to reduce its
workforce and transfer certain manufacturing and distribution processes currently being
performed in Winchester, Ky., to the company's Kingstree, S.C., site. Martek plans to
maintain a strong presence in Winchester after the restructuring, with approximately 50
highly skilled employees focused primarily on lab and pilot scale development, innovation
and production, as well as supply-chain management. These changes are consistent with
the company's strategy to offset a significant portion of price reductions that result from its
infant formula contract extensions by implementing manufacturing cost savings and product
innovation initiatives, and by growing its non-infant formula business. Notwithstanding the
plant restructuring, when combined with DSM's current ARA production capabilities,
Martek's DHA and ARA production capacity will be substantially in excess of current and
forecasted requirements for the next several years. The company's workforce in Winchester
will be reduced by approximately 45 people. In connection with this workforce reduction,
Martek expects to incur total cash charges of approximately $1.5 million in fiscal 2010, of
which $0.5 million will be recognized in the third quarter and $1.0 million in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2010. In addition, Martek is evaluating the potential sale or lease of a
portion of its Winchester operations. Any such sale or lease would be contingent upon
Martek's ability to maintain the necessary production redundancies through continuing
access to certain key processes at the Winchester facility and/or arrangements with contract
manufacturers......... Read

F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America's Future 2010
Adult obesity rates increased in 28 states in the past year, and declined only in the District of
Columbia (D.C.), according to F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America's Future 2010, a
report from the Trust for America's Health (TFAH) and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
(RWJF). More than two-thirds of states (38) have adult obesity rates above 25 percent. In
1991, no state had an obesity rate above 20 percent. The report highlights troubling racial,
ethnic, regional and income
disparities in the nation's
obesity epidemic. For
instance, adult obesity rates
for Blacks and Latinos were
higher than for Whites in at
least 40 states and the
District of Columbia; 10 out
of the 11 states with the
highest rates of obesity were
in the South -- with
Mississippi weighing in with
highest rates for all adults
(33.8 percent) for the sixth
year in a row; and 35.3
percent of adults earning less
than $15,000 per year were
obese compared with 24.5
percent of adults earning $50,000 or more per year. Additional key findings include:
* Adult obesity rates for Blacks topped 40 percent in nine states, 35 percent in 34 states,
and 30 percent in 43 states and D.C.
* Rates of adult obesity for Latinos were above 35 percent in two states (North Dakota
and Tennessee) and at 30 percent and above in 19 states.
* Ten of the 11 states with the highest rates of diabetes are in the South, as are the 10
states with the highest rates of hypertension.
* No state had rates of adult obesity above 35 percent for Whites. Only one state-West
Virginia-had an adult obesity rate for Whites greater than 30 percent.
* The number of states where adult obesity rates exceed 30 percent doubled in the past
year, from four to eight --Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma,
Tennessee and West Virginia.
* Northeastern and Western states had the lowest adult obesity rates; Colorado remained
the lowest at 19.1 percent.

CDC Survey Finds Nine in 10 U.S. Adults Consume Too Much Sodium
Majority of sodium comes from most commonly eaten foods
Less than 10 percent of U.S. adults limit their daily sodium intake to recommended levels,
according to a new report, "Sodium Intake in Adults – United States, 2005-2006," published


today in CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. The report also finds that most
sodium in the American diet comes from processed grains such as pizza and cookies, and
meats, including poultry and luncheon meats. According to the report, U.S. adults consume
an average of 3,466 milligrams (mg) of sodium per day, more than twice the current
recommended limit for most Americans. Grains provide 36.9 percent of this total, followed
by dishes containing meat, poultry, and fish (27.9 percent). These two categories combined
account for almost two-thirds of the daily sodium intake for Americans.An estimated 77
percent of dietary sodium comes from processed and restaurant foods. Many of these foods,
such as breads and cookies, may not even taste salty. "Sodium has become so pervasive in
our food supply that it's difficult for the vast majority of Americans to stay within
recommended limits," said Janelle Peralez Gunn, public health analyst with CDC's Division for
Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention and lead author of the report. "Public health
professionals, together with food manufacturers, retailers and health care providers, must
take action now to help support people's efforts to reduce their sodium
consumption."............ Read

Consumers associate ‘organic’ with low-calorie, finds study
Organic claims on food packaging could lead consumers to overeat or even exercise less,
according to a new study published in the journal Judgment and Decision Making. The
study’s authors, from the University of Michigan, hypothesized that a “tendency to over-
generalize health claims” could lead consumers of organic foods to assume that an organic
label implies a less calorific product – not just one that is produced without synthetic
chemicals. Both the terms ‘organic’ and ‘low-calorie’ are strongly associated with the
concept of ‘healthy’ in contemporary America, they wrote, suggesting that “these
associations might lead consumers to assume that foods produced organically contain fewer
calories than their conventional counterparts, despite the fact that the ‘organic’ designation
entails no such claim.”.......... Read

Overview of consumer liquid milk market in UK – organic declines, filtered milk rises
Comparing the 52 weeks ending 14 June 2009 and the 52 weeks ending 13 June 2010:
* Total milk sales by volume

higher compared to the previous
year.
* Sales by value fell by 1.1% to
£3.4 billion.
* The majority of milk sold was

accounted for 94.8% of all milk
sold during the period.
* Doorstep sales make up the
remaining 5.2% of the market,
although by volume, they were
15.2% lower compared with the
previous year.
* By category, filtered milk showed the biggest increase in sales volume, up by 16.9% from
the previous year to 335.7m litres.
* There was also good growth in the sale of J&G milk (13.7%) over the period, but this was
from a relatively small base.

UK dairy/food consumer and market trends - White Paper 2010
UK - Dairy foods have a crucial role to play in a sustainable diet, Dairy UK told MPs at its
annual dinner in London on
Wednesday. Addressing an
audience of more than 100
parliamentarians, civil servants and
industry figures, Dairy UK Chairman
Mark Allen said: “Dairy foods are
hugely popular and are important to
the health of the nation.

“Not only are favourites such as
milk, cheese and yogurt brimming
with high quality nutrients, including
calcium. But industry-led initiatives
such as the Milk Roadmap mean
that the dairy foods made from British
milk are environmentally sound as well.”
This is one of several key conclusions
contained in Dairy UK’s White Paper
2010, which was published today.
Launching the state-of-the-nation
document at the Dairy UK dinner, Director
General Jim Begg said: “To ensure that
the future is bright for British dairy
farmers and processors, government
must take a supportive stance. “Of
course, there are challenges ahead. But I
hope that we will continue to work well in
partnership together and see this industry go from strength to strength.”The White Paper
looks at a host of current issues besides the sustainable diet, including the EU’s High Level
Group on Dairy, health and nutrition claims, country or origin labelling and market
forecasts.......... comprehensive UK consumer and market update..... pdf, 54 pages...... Read

UK functional food and drinks market slows
The UK functional foods and drinks market will grow at between 4.5 per cent to 6.5 per cent
per year over the next five years but EU legislation is likely to restrict new product
development, according to the latest report from research group Key Note. Its report,
Functional Foods 2010, predicts growth rates for functional foods closer to those of their
traditional counterparts and identifies the key role of product development. “Stronger
growth will require new product development in the various market sectors, and this may
prove more difficult than in the past, owing to the EU regulations on health claims,” notes
the report’s executive summary. It estimates that the total UK market for functional foods
grew by an estimated 9.6 per cent in the year ending October 2009, to a value of £1.46bn.
Although the growth rate was higher than that experienced in 2007/2008, it was significantly
lower than the estimated 22 per cent growth in 2005/2006......... Read


In the U.K., Sustainability on Shopper Agendas, but Not at Any Cost
In 2007 we couldn’t open a magazine, turn on the television or nip to the shops without
being hit with messages about being green. It was the year that ethical consumerism went
mainstream. It was
the year that we
started using
reusable shopping
bags, stopped
resenting our local
councils for making
us recycle our
rubbish and started
showing interest in
our carbon
footprint. 2008
started in much the
same way. In the
February of that
year free range
chicken sold out in
supermarkets after
the ‘Hugh’s Chicken Run’ series aired on Channel 4. Later on in 2008 M&S began charging
shoppers for carrier bags as part of the Plan A strategy and other retailers continued to
message on their own ethical credentials. And then the credit crunch, that had been
affecting the American economy for some time, hit our shores. House prices tumbled, and
with them consumer confidence. Meanwhile increasing demand on commodities pushed
cost prices up and food inflation began to rocket. The nation became worried about their
jobs, their homes, their pockets and suddenly being green no longer made the headlines.
Two years on and there is a willingness and an amount of concern about ethical issues – at
the end of 2009 about three-quarters of people polled in Great Britain said they were
concerned about environmental issues............ Read

Strong demand growth expected for
Stand-Up Pouches in EU
The positive advantages of the stand-
up pouch (SUP) will continue to drive
strong growth in European demand
for this packaging format, according to
a new report from PCI Films
Consulting. Although developed nearly
40 years ago, the stand-up pouch has
taken some time to be truly accepted
in the European flexible packaging
marketplace. In 2009, nearly 19 billion
SUPs were estimated to have been
supplied, accounting for 5% of the


total value of converted flexible packaging used in Europe. Wet pet foods accounted for
almost a third of this volume and non-retortable food pouches were among the fastest
growing. Around 975 million square metres of laminate was used to make pouches, of which
65% was used to make pre-made pouches, with the balance supplied as reels to packers for
use on form-fill-seal machines. Report author Paul Gaster notes, “In recent years, attitudes
towards the SUP have become much more positive as brand owners, retailers and
consumers recognise the attractions of this format as a cost-effective, convenient and
environmentally superior alternative to rigid packaging”. PCI’s study has found that, in the
five years up to 2008, European demand for stand-up pouches grew by 10 - 15% p.a.
Demand slowed during the economic downturn in 2009, but stronger interest from packers
is expected to return in future years.......... Read

Functional Foods Market Assessment 2010 EUR 1582 Key Note
The total UK market for functional foods grew by an Publications
estimated 9.6% in the year ending October 2009, to a
value of £1.46bn. This growth rate was higher than that
experienced in 2007/2008 but substantially lower than
the estimated 22% growth in 2005/2006. The reduction is
accounted for by an apparent peaking in sales of yoghurt
drinks and soya milk, after strong prior growth, and
gradually declining sales of cholesterol-lowering
margarines and functional breads. Strong growth has,
however, been shown by probiotic yoghurts and fortified
breakfast cereals, allowing positive growth overall. The
trend in recent years has been to add several functional
ingredients to individual products, with probiotic,
prebiotic and omega-3 yoghurts and yoghurt drinks, or
probiotic and cholesterol-lowering yoghurts, some of
them containing extra vitamins. After a scientific report
extolled their benefits, omega-3 fatty acids have been
added to a range of foods, including margarines and

Indian Fast Food Market Analysis USD 800 RNCOS
With rapidly growing middle class population and
changing lifestyle, India is blessed with one of the fastest
growing fast food markets of the world. The Indian fast
food market is growing at the rate of 30-35% per annum.
Almost all big fast food brands of the world have
succeeded in making their presence felt in the country
and most of them are posting appreciable growth.
Consequently, all the popular fast food chains have
chalked out massive plans for expanding their business
and presence throughout the country. Moreover, foreign
fast food chains are aggressively increasing their
presence in the country. For instance, Domino’s has


planned to open 60-65 outlets every year for the next
three years (2010-2012) while Yum Brands Inc is also
preparing for massive expansion across the country with
plans to open 1000 fast food outlets by 2015. According
to “Indian Fast Food Market Analysis”, although the
market has witnessed a robust growth in the past couple
of years, it remains largely underpenetrated and
concentrated into metropolitan cities. However, there is
large room for growth in tier-II cities and tier-III cities,
which are mostly untapped. Therefore, the future of
Indian fast food industry lies in masses that live in tier-II
and tier-III cities.......... Read

US Fast Food Market Outlook 2010 USD 800 RNCOS
The US fast food industry has emerged as one of the
leading industries in the country. It has been witnessing
consistent strong growth for the past few years. Despite
the global financial turmoil, the US fast food industry
grew at a rate of around 4% year-on-year in 2009. Our
research has found that the fast food industry is growing
faster than the restaurant industry on account of
comparative cost advantage and increasing young
population. Leading industry players are readily spending
on promotional activities to expand their business which,
in turn, boost the nation’s fast-food industry. According
to our new research report “US Fast Food Market
Outlook 2010”, the US fast food industry is expected to
witness impressive growth rate in the near future owing
to Americans busy lifestyle that encourages them to visit
fast food joints. The industry holds promising growth
prospects for both existing and new players. To support
this evidence, we have done an extensive research and
analysis of different segments of the fast food industry.
The baseline for the optimistic future outlook of the US
fast food industry is the rise in number of product
varieties offered by the players. These players have
started going for international expansion and are offering
discounts and combos to raise revenue from all the
corners. Besides, the recovery and strengthening of the
US economy from 2010 onwards will also pave way for
the fast food industry to grow at faster pace in the
forecast period....... Read

UK-based Oxford Nutrascience has teamed up with Ocean Nutrition Canada (ONC) to
develop omega-3 chews, which it plans to supply to dietary supplement firms around Europe
for their own-label lines. The products, which will be available later this year, will be
manufactured using Oxford Nutrascience’s chew technology and Ocean Nutrition’s
encapsulated MEG-3 omega-3 ingredient. Oxford Nutrascience will be producing an own-
label low-dose chew, containing 50mg omega-3 and positioned as a functional confectionery
product. However, CEO Nigel Theobald told NutraIngredients.com that the firm hopes to
supply higher-dose chews to customers in the dietary supplement sector. “Using our
technology, we can get 200mg of omega-3 in each chew,” he said, adding that the firm itself
had no plans to launch an own-label supplement chew as it didn’t want to enter into
competition with its customers. As part of the agreement with Ocean Nutrition, Oxford
Nutrascience will exclusively use ONC’s MEG-3 ingredient in all its omega-3 chews sold in
Europe, while ONC will give Oxford Nutrition access to its customer database for its
promotion efforts. "Having access to the customer base of the world's largest and foremost
producer of Omega-3 shows the level of trust Ocean Nutrition Canada has in our chew
technology,” said Theobald.......... Read

Danone axes satiety yogurt Shape
Danone finally ditched its Shape Feel Fuller for Longer yogurt because it could not get the
taste right, but insists it still believes there is a market for products promoting satiety. As
revealed by FoodManufacture.co.uk, the Shape Feel Fuller for
Longer yogurt (a thick yogurt made with hydrolysed guar gum and
milk proteins to stave of the hunger pangs) has been dropped and
replaced with Shape Zer0%, a fat-free yogurt with no added sugar.
Danone UK marketing manager Julia Redman told
FoodManufacture.co.uk that while the Shape brand had had strong
growth over the last year driven by "penetration gains", repeat
purchasing rates were still low. She added: “Our decision to remove
the claim ‘Feel Fuller For Longer’ in the UK is driven by a taste issue.
Our research shows that the main barrier to repeat purchase is
taste. The Shape re-launch concentrates on tackling this issue. “We
have changed the sub-range name from ‘Feel Fuller for Longer’ to


‘Zer0%’, positioning the brand as a fat-free yogurt with no added sugar. This will ensure we
still provide our consumers with a point of difference within the category.”.......... Read

New organic logo “Euro Leaf” comes into effect in EU
The EU's new organic logo, the 'Euro Leaf' aims to define exactly what organic is. On July 1
the European Commission, in an attempt to clear up confusion, announced new rules on
organic food and a new EU organic logo called
'Euro Leaf.' The new laws make it compulsory to
show the logo on any pre-packaged organic
foods that have been produced within EU
member states. Other private and regional logos
will continue to be displayed on the packaging
alongside the so-called 'Euro Leaf,' however
these other logos are optional. Labeling of
organic foods has, in the past, been a source of
confusion, however it is hoped that this new
logo will make it easier for consumers within the
EU to understand exactly what the term 'organic' means. The new logo will be used on foods
which are legally organic, that is they conform to the regulations established by the
European Union for organic farming. If the food is processed, the logo means that at least 95
percent of the ingredients used are organic. Next to the logo is also a code representing the
number of the control body and information about where the raw materials in the product
have been farmed...... Read

Government announces BPA baby bottle phase out (Australia)
Parliamentary Secretary for Health Mark Butler has this week announced the phase out by
major retailers of baby bottles containing Bisphenol A (BPA). The voluntary phase out by the
Wesfarmers group (Coles, K Mart and Target), and retailers Woolworths, Big W and Aldi is
the result of months of constructive discussions between the Australian Government and
retailers. The phase out will begin on July 1. “Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ)
has evaluated the safety of BPA and plasticisers in baby bottles and concluded that levels of
intake of BPA or plasticisers are very low and do not pose a risk to babies health,” Mr Butler
said. ”However, the US Food and Drug Administration announced earlier this year that it is
carrying out further research into the risks for babies and infants associated with BPA.” A
number of countries have responded to consumer concern and the FDA’s announcement
about BPA by introducing voluntary withdrawals of BPA baby bottles from the market. Such
a decision has been taken in the United States, Canada and a number of European
countries.......... Read

Kellogg's pulls weight health claim for breakfast cereals (EU)
Kellogg’s has pulled its application to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) for
approval of a weight health relationship claim under the proprietary and emerging science
article 13.5 for generic ready-to-eat breakfast cereals. The wording of the claim, which was
only submitted in February this year, is that a ready-to-eat breakfast cereal 'consumed at
breakfast and as part of a second meal (either lunch or dinner) in a two week dietary


programme can help to reduce body weight.' The same weight health relationship claim is
currently pending approval under Article 13.1, as the EU legislation allows for parallel article
claim applications. Speaking this morning to BakeryandSnacks.com, Marta Baffigo, public
affairs director Europe for Kellogg’s, would not disclose the specific reason for the
withdrawal but said that it was, in fact, the more open exchange between the petitioner and
the agency, afforded by the Article 13.5 process, which provided data that prompted the
decision to withdraw. She added that Kellogg’s, who had engaged external consultants to
assist with the dossier submission for the article 13.5 approval, was not ruling out the
possibility of resubmission of the claim at a later stage. The move from Kellogg’s comes as a
surprise, with Baffigo telling this publication in March that the cereal maker believed that
Article 13.5 would allow the applicant a real platform to put forward its case for
substantiation in comparison to article 13.1, which she argued was too rigid a procedure and
inhibited full disclosure of all the evidence.......... Read

General Mills sued on Fruit Roll-Ups health claims
General Mills Inc was sued on Tuesday by a New
York woman for allegedly misleading consumers
about the nutritional and health qualities of its Fruit
Roll-Ups and other fruit snacks popular with
children. According to a complaint filed in
Manhattan federal court, General Mills failed to
properly disclose that its fruit products, including
Fruit Roll-Ups, Fruit by the Foot and Fruit Gushers,
contain partially hydrogenated oil. The complaint
said use of the oil rendered "false and misleading"
marketing over the last six years that General Mills
fruit snacks were "nutritious" and "healthy to
consume," and thus deserved premium prices. The
plaintiff is Payton McClure, who is described as a
"life-long consumer" of General Mills products. The
complaint seeks class-action status on behalf of
purchasers of the fruit snacks, compensatory and
punitive damages, and other remedies. A General Mills spokeswoman declined to comment,
since the company had not yet reviewed the complaint. "To our knowledge, this suit has not
been served," said General Mills spokeswoman Kirstie Foster........... Read

Consumers confused by weight management claims
Weight management messages on food and beverage products are often not understood by
consumers, according to research from the UK, which suggests that food manufacturers may
need to re-think their marketing approach. Conducted as part of a weight management
review by Leatherhead Food Research (LFR), the consumer attitude tests found that most
people were confused or sceptical when it came to claims relating to ‘satiety’, ‘sustained
energy release’ and ‘feeling fuller longer’. In addition, individual weight management
ingredients were usually not recognised or understood, said Leatherhead nutritionist Sonia
Pombo at a Nutrition Research Forum Day held last week. “Consumers were generally quite
sceptical of weight management claims, which is often a result of conflicting information in
the press,” said Pombo. “Because information between media and science health claims is
contradictory, people become confused and ultimately mistrustful of these products,” she
told food industry executives. The consumer attitude research was based on focus group


discussions and questionnaires, conducted in the north and south of the UK, with consumers
aged 20-65. Participants were all female and came from a range of social classes. All were
responsible for purchasing the main food shop for their household, and at least one third of
each group had children........ Read

EU move to break GM deadlock could sow discord
Plans to radically overhaul EU rules on growing genetically modified (GM) crops are
welcomed by some as boosting productivity, but others say the move will unleash
uncertainty, discord and a deluge of litigation. In an unprecedented step to hand EU powers
back to national capitals, the European Commission has drafted plans to let countries decide
themselves whether to grow or ban GM crops, a gesture born of frustration over deadlock in
the EU's approval system. At the heart of opposition to what is in effect the EU giving up its
jealously guarded control over homogeonous farming policy is a concern that the bloc will
fracture, leaving the way open for years of legal wrangling and conflict. "GM crops are an
extremely divisive subject between member states, but if they do it for this issue, what other
issues will they do it for in future?" said Jo Swinnen, senior research fellow at the Centre for
European Policy Studies think-tank in Brussels....... Read

DSM CEO: “food ingredients are not pharmaceuticals”
The president and chief executive officer of DSM Nutritional Products, Leendert Staal, says
his company is facing up to life under EU’s new health claims rules, but has not changed its
approach to nutrition science and product innovation. In an exclusive interview with
NutraIngredients.com Leendert Staal said his company continued to work for change in the
regulatory set-up which he said had the potential to thwart innovation across the European
Union and beyond. He echoed common industry criticism of the regulation that it is overly
reliant on pharmaceutical models when assessing nutrition science. “Food ingredients are
not pharmaceutical ingredients that is clear,” Staal said. “But you have to look at the
intensity of the rules. Collectively what we have to be mindful of is that we do not kill the
innovation process. There is a risk there and then you will see the impact. There is concern
that it will happen.” “Regulations are there to make sure that products are safe; that claims
that are made can be substantiated. Nothing wrong with that. But if the walls get too high
you cannot enter that field.”.......... Read

Fructose intake may increase blood pressure risk
Eating a lot of foods and drinks sweetened with fructose significantly raises a person's risk of
having high blood pressure, U.S. researchers said on Thursday. The study is the latest to link
a sugar-laden diet with higher blood pressure, but it also clearly fingers fructose as a major
contributor. "The data is very consistent with what has been in other papers," said Michael
Chonchol of the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver, whose study
appears in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. He said cutting back on sugary
foods and drinks should help to lower blood pressure, which can lead to heart and kidney
disease. Too much sugar of any kind not only makes people fatter, but is also a key culprit in
diabetes, heart disease and stroke, according to the American Heart Association. Several
states, including New York and California, have weighed a tax on sweetened soft drinks to


defray the cost of treating obesity-related diseases. President Barack Obama's
administration has recommended that policy makers "analyze the effect of state and local
sales taxes on less healthy, energy-dense foods" to fight childhood obesity. Fructose, such as
the sweet syrups made from corn used to sweeten beverages, baked goods and other
processed foods, can raise levels of a compound called uric acid......... Read

Sugar, not just salt, linked to high blood pressure
Eating too much sodium can push your blood pressure into the danger zone. Now,
researchers are reporting that eating too many sweets--or drinking too much soda--may
have a similar effect. People who consume a diet high in fructose, a type of sugar and a key
ingredient in high-fructose corn syrup, are more likely to have high blood pressure
(hypertension), according to a new study. Drinking 2.5 cans or more of non-diet soda per
day--or consuming an equivalent amount of fructose from other foods--increases your risk of
hypertension by at least 30 percent, the study found. What's more, the increased risk
appears to be independent of other dietary habits, including sodium, carbohydrate and
overall calorie intake........ Read

Coffee Provides Muscle-Boosting Caffeine for Athletes
Athletes who drink a lot of coffee can improve their performance by as much as six percent,
British scientists were due to announce Wednesday. A new study found high doses of
caffeine boosted muscle power and endurance when the body was not being pushed to the
limit, such as in long-distance running. “A very high dosage of caffeine, most likely achieved
via tablets, powder or a concentrated liquid, is feasible and might prove attractive to a
number of athletes wishing to improve their athletic performance,” said Dr. Rob James, lead
researcher at Coventry University, in central England. “A small increase in performance via
caffeine could mean the difference between a gold medal in the Olympics and an also-ran”,
added James, who was due to announce the results at the Society for Experimental Biology
Annual Meeting in Prague. Caffeine was removed from the World Anti-Doping Agency
(WADA) banned substance list in 2004 but Coventry University scientists believed their
findings may have implications for the use of caffeine in sport. Even without taking
concentrated doses, people who drink large amounts of coffee or tea could benefit from an
enhanced power output........ Read

Inulin plus resistant starch could be super-prebiotic
Combining fructooligosaccharides with resistant starch could produce gut health benefits
beyond the mere sum of the parts, suggests a new study from Spain. Scientists from the
University of Granada report that findings from their rat study indicated that the
combination of the ingredients not only boosted levels of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria in
the animals’ intestine, but also improved intestinal function. The combination of
fructooligosaccharides (Beneo-95, Beneo-Orafti) and resistant starch (Fibersol-2, ADM)
resulted in a synergistic effect in the gut of rats with colitis, according to findings published
in Clinical Nutrition........ Read

Nitrate content of beetroot juice helps lower blood pressure
A study in the US journal Hypertension found that blood pressure was reduced within 24
hours in people who drank beetroot juice or took nitrate tablets. The higher the blood
pressure, the greater the impact of the nitrates. This research suggests there is hope of using
a more "natural" approach to bring down blood pressure. Nitrates are found in a number of
vegetables. A previous study found that drinking a pint of beetroot juice lowered blood


pressure significantly in people with normal blood pressure. Amrita Ahluwalia, author of the
study and professor of vascular pharmacology at Barts and the London School of Medicine
and Dentistry said they had now proved why.......... Read

Green Tea Supplementation Affects Body Weight, Lipids, and Lipid Peroxidation in Obese
The objective of the research was to compare the effects of supplementation of green tea
beverage or green tea extracts with controls on body weight, glucose and lipid profile,
biomarkers of oxidative stress, and safety parameters in obese subjects with metabolic
syndrome. Thirty-five subjects with obesity and metabolic syndrome were recruited in age-
and gender-matched trios and were randomly assigned to the control (4 cups water/d),
green tea (4 cups/d), or green tea extract (2 capsules and 4 cups water/d) group for 8 weeks.
The tea and extract groups had similar dosing of epiogallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the
active compound in green tea. Pairwise comparisons showed green tea beverage and green
tea extracts caused a significant decrease in body weight and body mass index (BMI) versus
controls at 8 weeks (–2.5 ± 0.7 kg, p < 0.01, and –1.9 ± 0.6, p < 0.05, respectively). Green tea
beverage showed a decreasing trend in LDL-cholesterol and LDL/high-density lipoprotein
(HDL) versus controls (p < 0.1). Green tea beverage also significantly decreased MDA and
HNE (–0.39 ± 0.06 µM, p < 0.0001) versus controls. Plasma free catechins were detectable in
both beverage and extract groups versus controls at screen and at 8 weeks, indicating
compliance and bioavailability of green tea catechins. Study concludes that green tea
beverage consumption (4 cups/d) or extract supplementation (2 capsules/d) for 8 weeks
significantly decreased body weight and BMI. Green tea beverage further lowered lipid
peroxidation versus age- and gender-matched controls, suggesting the role of green tea
flavonoids in improving features of metabolic syndrome in obese patients.......... Read

Antioxidants no help vs rheumatoid arthritis, lupus
Antioxidants in food and supplements might not protect women from rheumatoid arthritis
(RA) or lupus after all, a large U.S. study suggests. RA is not the same as osteoarthritis, which
develops with age or with wear-and-tear on the joints. RA occurs much less often, but is
usually more severe. RA and lupus are both autoimmune disorders. The researchers tracked
nearly 185,000 women for up to 24 years. Overall, they found no clear relationship between
the women's estimated intake of antioxidants -- including vitamins A, C and E and beta-
carotene -- and their likelihood of being diagnosed with RA or lupus. The findings contradict
hints from earlier research that women with higher intake of antioxidants might have lower
risks of developing these diseases. One reason for checking whether antioxidants in the diet
would have an effect is that people with RA and lupus have lower antioxidant levels in their
blood than healthy individuals. And studies in mice have shown that giving antioxidants
helps reduce the type of immune-system-triggered inflammation that's associated with
these diseases........ Read

Taxing Caloric Sweetened Beverages: Potential Effects on Beverage Consumption, Calorie
Intake, and Obesity
The link between high U.S. obesity rates and the overconsumption of added sugars, largely
from sodas and fruit drinks,
has prompted public calls for a
tax on caloric sweetened
beverages. Faced with such a
tax, consumers may reduce
consumption of these
sweetened beverages and
substitute nontaxed
beverages, such as bottled
water, juice, and milk. This
study estimated that a tax-
induced 20-percent price
increase on caloric sweetened
beverages could cause an
average reduction of 37
calories per day, or 3.8 pounds
of body weight over a year, for
adults and an average of 43 calories per day, or 4.5 pounds over a year, for children. Given
these reductions in calorie consumption, results show an estimated decline in adult
overweight prevalence (66.9 to 62.4 percent) and obesity prevalence (33.4 to 30.4 percent),
as well as the child at-risk-for-overweight prevalence (32.3 to 27.0 percent) and the
overweight prevalence (16.6 to 13.7 percent). Actual impacts would depend on many
factors, including how the tax is reflected in consumer prices and the competitive strategies
of beverage manufacturers and food retailers. ........... pdf, 33 pages...... Read

Companies should harness the power of social networking sites for promoting their products
If you haven't yet considered the power of social media among women, consider this… More
than one-third (36%) of online US and Canadian women would give up chocolate, their
Pradas, or their mother-in-law before they gave up their social networks, according to a
research study and report by ShesConnected Multimedia. And… they actually are OK with
advertiser supported revenue models on their favorite social networking sites (top sites in
order of preference were: Facebook, Linked In, Twitter, My Space and Plaxo). Advertising is
OK, but nine out of ten say they value their privacy as a top concern. If you think social
networking is a teeny bopper fad, think again. Surprisingly, the data showed the adoption of
social networks by older women is especially strong. Women ages 50+ comprised the largest
age group in the core user survey. Study respondents spend a significant amount of time
online each day, with 49% reporting they spend 1-2 hours per day for personal use and 48%
reporting they spend five or more hours per day online for work.......... Read
