Glencore to buy Viterra for $6.2 billion

Viterra Inc. said Tuesday it agreed to be acquired by Glencore International PLC for C$6.1

billion (US$6.2 billion), ending a sale process that started two weeks

ago and triggered a surge in the Canadian grain-handler's stock.

Switzerland-based Glencore, one of the world's largest commodities traders, has agreed to

pay C$16.25 a share. Viterra's stock was trading at C$10.98 on March 8, the day before it

first disclosed it had been approached by potential buyers. Some shareholders have

suggested the stock is worth around C$19 because of the scarcity value of its grain-handling

network. In Toronto Tuesday, Viterra was recently trading at C$15.92, down 0.3% on the

day. Viterra operates grain-marketing and distribution businesses across Canada, the U.S.,

Australia, New Zealand and China. It controls 45% of the grain trade in Canada, the world's

sixth largest exporter, and has a large operation in Australia, the third-largest grain-

exporting country.Read

Kraft Foods proposes Mondelz International, Inc. as new name for global snacks company

North American grocery company to retain iconic Kraft Foods Name. Kraft Foods Inc., has

announced that its corporate name for the global snacks company

will be Mondelz International, Inc. (pronounced mohn-dah-LEEZ').

world, as "Monde" derives from the Latin word for "world" and "delez" is a fanciful

expression of "delicious," Kraft says in a press release. And, International is mean to

capture the global nature of the business. As previously announced, Kraft Foods is dividing to

create two public companies before the end of 2012 a global snacks business and a North

American grocery business. The North American grocery company will become Kraft Foods

Symrise AG reported an increase in business in 2011 despite the economic slowdown and

Fonterra's new dairy farms mark a fresh start in China

The Hangu dairy farm was all that remained from the ruins of

Fonterra's NZ$200 million investment in China after its state-owned

partner Sanlu collapsed in 2008 following revelations that its baby

formula was contaminated by the chemical compound melamine. The

farm, on brown fields northeast of Beijing, is now the breeding ground

for a new international investment strategy by the New Zealand company, the world's

biggest dairy exporter. Post-melamine, Fonterra is building and operating its own large-scale

dairy farms overseas, so it can be certain of the quality of the dairy products it sells. "Therewere 21 companies in China that had melamine in their milk. One company chose to do

something about it," Fonterra's China president Phillip Turner told Reuters.Read

Ipsos Public Affairs between August 25 to 29, 2011, on 2,015 adults ages 18 and over.

U.S. carbonated drinks consumption fell faster in 2011

U.S. carbonated soft drink consumption fell faster last year as strength in energy drinks

failed to offset weakness in traditional sodas from Coca-Cola Co and PepsiCo Inc, according

to a leading beverage industry newsletter. Total sales volume of soda fell about 1 percent in2011 to 9.27 billion cases, according to Beverage Digest, about the same level it was in 1996.

Sales volume fell 0.5 percent in 2010. Excluding energy drinks such as Red Bull and Rockstar,

soda volume was down 1.5 percent last year, Beverage Digest said. "Carbonated soft drinks,

while still the biggest category, are playing a declining role in Americans' beverage

consumption," the newsletter said on Tuesday. Soda sales in the United States grew about 3

percent annually throughout most of the 1990s but began to slow in 1999. Sales have been

in decline since 2005 as increasingly health-conscious consumers turn to options they see as

healthier, such as bottled water, juice and tea.Read

Greek yogurt sales double in the U.S.According to a Chicago Tribune article, in 2011, Greek yogurt accounted for 20% of total

yogurt sales, reports market researcher SymphonyIRI, and 15% of volume sales. In each of

the past three years, sales of Greek yogurt have leaped more than 100%, while traditional

yogurt has experienced single-digit growth, according to consumer data tracker Nielsen.

Industry observers credit Greek yogurts tart flavor and creamy texture for wooing

consumers from traditional varieties. Greek yogurt also has better nutritional values, with

more protein, less fat, and sometimes more calcium and less sugar. But Greek yogurt is more

expensive, typically 3050 cents more for a single-serve container. Berlin, N.Y.-based

Chobani is the leading branded yogurt product by dollar sales, with 13.5% of the market, up

from a 2% share in 2009. Chobanis sales rose 144% over the past 52 weeks to $626

One-Third Of Daily Calories in Are From Junk Food (US)

Americans are addicted to snacking. Thats the bottom line from a new government report

looking at the snacking habits of more than 5,000 adults aged 20 and older. Researchers with

the USDAs Food Surveys Research Group interviewed the participants as part of an ongoing

national survey called What We Eat in America. The results from those surveys are

reported in two-year intervals. The survey found that a sizable chunk of our daily calories

come from serial snacking during the day, mostly on processed junk food high in fat and

added sugars. This is not to say that all snacking is bad. For older adults who may not be

getting adequate amounts of protein and nutrients in their diet, nutritious snacks can play

an important role in making sure they eat enough healthy food, studies of people 65 and

older have shown. However, for overweight adults for whom salty, sugary junk food is their

dietary downfall, switching out those empty calories for more nutritious choices like fresh

fruit is an easy way to cut back on calories while increasing important nutrientsRead

Rabobank dairy market update suggests downward pressure for dairy prices

Key highlights:

The opening months of 2012 saw international dairy prices fall between 3% to 8%across the complex, extending the run of gradual price softening to a year.

Unusually good weather across most regions exacerbated the impact of highfarmgate milk prices, driving supply growth too fast for battered western consumers

to soak up, even with support from solid international demand.

Q2 is likely to see further downward pressure on world prices. Expected declines infarmgate prices will come too late to slow production growth much through the

Northern Hemisphere spring. And demand will remain compromised by weak

underlying economic conditions and only modest price relief for consumers.

Fundamentals should begin to rebalance as we progress through 2H, though there isa risk of only weak price support at that stage given the prospect of significant stock

accumulation in coming months if we have a strong Northern Hemisphere supplypeak.

Germany and Ireland lead dip in EU milk prices

European Union milk prices started 2012 on a weak footing, falling for a second successive

month, and with international markets signalling that the decline has further to go. Milk

Study finds 37% of Omega 3 Supplement Users Don't Want Fish

A recent survey conducted by Discovery Research Group, in partnership with Aker BioMarine

Antarctic, US, revealed that nearly four out of ten consumers who want to take an omega 3

supplement are looking for an alternative to fish oil. The survey went out to a panel of

consumers who take a multi-vitamin or other nutritional supplement and indicated that they

were interested in health and wellness and fitness. A total of 37% of participants consider

themselves someone who wants to take or currently takes an omega 3 supplement, but

would rather take something other than fish oil as an Omega 3 supplement. When asked

why they do not want to take fish oil, the most common reasons given were: bad taste, bad

aftertaste, fishy burps, bad smell, and large capsule size. With 70% growth in Krill Oil in 2011,

compared to 6% growth in fish oil supplements, krill is delivering on an unmet need in the

market. What we see is that Krill supplements are expanding the omega 3 category."..

Bell survey suggests salty snacks could be the next big thing for breakfast

It might not be as explicit as potato chips, pretzels and a glass of orange juice, but if a new

report by BellFlavorsandFragrances is to be believed, salty snacks at breakfast could be the

next big thing. The company, which is celebrating 100 years in 2012, offered a forecast for

the snacks industry citing data from Mintel. Moreover, Bell claims that the most important

meal of the day is the next frontier for the category. Nutritionists strongly advocate that

people start their morning with breakfast to help fuel their activities throughout the day, it

explains. The problem is that in many households there simply is not the time for a sit-

down breakfast. With this in mind, any salty snack manufacturer that could tap intoconsumers desire to eat a reasonably healthy breakfast each day would stand out from the

competition. The report also predicted an increase in popcorn (filing) and beef jerky (high in

Sustainable packaging is the next hot food industry trend

The future of food products is looking less boxy, as more packaged-food makers opt forpouches and squeeze packs to deliver their products. A recent Los Angeles Times article

reported that the Campbell Soup Co. and H.J. Heinz Co. are introducing pouched products

this year to save on packaging and shipping costs. While pouches may save some pennies

and help companies appeal to millennials, the dirty secret is that pouches sacrifice

sustainability. Here's why: To give pouched products a longer shelf life, the packaging film is

layered with structures that cannot be separated or recycled. Campbell's soup cans and

Heinz ketchup bottles could be recycled; the new pouched products will now end up in a

Production of stabilized whole grain wheat flour and products thereof


A stabilized bran component and a stabilized whole grain wheat flour containing the

component are produced by subjecting a bran-enriched coarse fraction which contains bran,

germ and starch to grinding or milling to reduce grittiness of the coarse fraction without

substantially damaging the starch due to abrasion. The coarse fraction may be stabilized by

heating to substantially reduce the lipase and lipoxygenase activity of the coarse fractionwithout substantial gelatinization of the starch. High levels of natural antioxidants and

vitamins are retained while avoiding substantial acrylamide formation during the

stabilization..Read

Jamba Juices 'All Natural' Claims for ascorbic acid challenged

Jamba Juice's "all natural" claims were questioned in a class action lawsuit filed on March 12,

2012, in the Northern District Court of California. Plaintiff Kevin Anderson alleged Jamba

Juice's at-home smoothie kits are not "all natural" as claimed on the packaging because they

contain processed, synthetic and/or non-natural ingredients, such as ascorbic acid, citric

acid, xanthan gum and steviol glycosides. "When bigger companies like Jamba Juice get

sued, it puts everyone on notice," said attorney Justin J. Prochnow, shareholder, Greenberg

Traurig, who is not affiliated with this case, but has experience representing natural product

companies in court . "This case has a big implication for supplements and beverages in

particular because they are targeting common ingredients that are found in a lot of

products, especially the ascorbic acid and citric acid. A lot of the all natural cases up until

now have targeting preservatives and ingredients that many people would say are clearlynot natural."Read

FDA Cracks Down on Melatonin-Brownie Maker

FDA has censured another maker of melatonin-containing food products. Last July, the

agency sent a warning letter to melatonin-brownie maker Lazy Larry. The agency has now

posted a warning letter it sent in December to a company called Revolt Distribution Inc.,

stating that the companys Wownie Relaxation Brownie and Slowtivate Relaxation Drink

are conventional foods, not dietary supplements, and are therefore prohibited from

including melatonin, an unapproved, non-GRAS-sanctioned additive for food. The agency

pointed out that the melatonin-containing products are packaged and marketed to appearto be conventional foodRead

Which? Calls for UK Government to Do More for Public Health

A new Which? survey shows that people dont think the Government is doing enough for

public health. Just 28 per cent of people are satisfied that it is taking enough action to help

not believe that the current approach is good enough to tackle the challenges we are facing.

Australian Governments dietary guidelines criticised by growers of oilseeds and healthy

oils

Australian growers who supply product for oils made from olive, canola, sunflower and

soybean have criticised the latest Australian government health recommendations on

dietary guidelines for oils and fats. The draft Australian Dietary Guidelines and Australian

Guide to Healthy Eating, developed by National Health and Medical Research Council

(NHMRC) which is the Federal governments peak body for developing health advice forAustralians, were revised for the first time in eight years in December 2011. The revised

draft guidelines recommended that the well-known healthier oils, and products using these

healthy oils, be nevertheless used in small amounts. The Australian growers say the health

benefits of these oils have been understated in these official guidelines..Read

New Zealand due to make decision on folic acid in flour

Health groups in Australia will be watching with interest to see if New Zealand buckles under

recent pressures to implement mandatory addition of folic acid to flour products. Australia

agreed to the mandatory fortification of flour using folic acid through an amendment to the

Food Standards Code in September 2009. However, despite being regulated by the samecode, the New Zealand Government opted out at the time, officially deferring

commencement of mandatory fortification until 31 May 2012. US-based organization, the

Flour Fortification Initiative (FFI), is one of several organizations keen to see New Zealand

implement mandatory fortification this time around. The FFI comprises a number of

companies that have vested interests in advocating for the mandatory introduction of

various additives to flour around the world. Some of its members have recently been

discussing ways to convince the New Zealand Government to adopt mandatory

fortificationRead

EU Lawmakers pave way for 222 food health claims

MEPs have upheld plans to create a fixed number of standardised nutritional claims on food

and beverages, paving the way for 222 claims such as "low fat" or "reduced cholesterol" to

be carried on food packaging. The European Parliaments Environment, Public Health and

Food Safety Committee rejected by a 15-vote margin a resolution opposing the EUs

proposed list of health claims. The vote paves the way for all health claims not approved by

the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to be removed from the market under the EUs

nutrition regulation. All 27 EU countries are obliged to follow the rules. Industry and

consumer groups hailed the vote to uphold the permitted health claims......Read

Blueberries and apples tied to lower diabetes risk

Eating more blueberries, apples and pears may be linked to lower risk of diabetes, according

to a new U.S. study. These fruits are loaded with flavonoids, a natural compound present in

certain fruits, vegetables and grains, which some research has tentatively tied to heath

benefits such as a lower risk of heart disease or cancer. "People who ate a higher amount ofblueberries or apples, they tended to have a low risk of type 2 diabetes," said An Pan, a

research fellow at the Harvard School of Public Health who worked on the study. The

findings show an association, he added, but don't prove the fruits, themselves, prevent

diabetes..Read

Green tea can beat bad breath, cancer

Green tea's status as a superfood is growing gradually, as a new study has claimed that

drinking the beverage could help you fight bad breath and even mouth cancer. The study by

a team from Israel's Institute of Technology found that antioxidants found in the tea, called

polyphenols, destroy a number of compounds in the mouth that can lead to bad breath,tooth decay and even mouth cancer. The new findings will add to green tea's status as one

of nature's so-called "superfoods" , the Daily Mail reported . Past studies have suggested

that green tea helps prevent cancer and heart disease and lower cholesterol - and even ward

off Parkinson's and Alzheimer's..Read

Food Allergic Infants More Likely to Have Vitamin D Insufficiency

Vitamin D insufficiency at age 1 year was associated with a nearly fourfold increased

prevalence of a food allergy in a case-control study of 269 children. The finding appears

consistent with prior reports that linked the prevalence of food allergies to the latitude

gradients for where people lived, Dr. Katrina J. Allen and her associates reported in a posterat the annual meeting of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology. The

study involved 5,276 12-month old infants from the Melbourne area enrolled in the Health

Nuts population-based study. All infants had skin prick tests to egg white, peanut, and

sesame; 1,005 developed at least a 1 mm wheal to at least one of these foods.Read

Moo-ve over Milk: Plant Alternatives Primed to Benefit from Protein Supplement Demand

As consumer demand for protein continues to surge and more categories seek to

incorporate the popular ingredient, a growing number of alternative sources are reaching

the market. Euromonitor International examines the rise of animal protein alternatives and

their potential impact on the consumer health market. Despite Siberian temperatures this

winter, protein is basking in a warm glow of international publicity, which has catapulted it

to the forefront of the supplement world recently. In February, The European Food Safety

Agency (EFSA) published its recommended intake value for protein. The agency's figure of

0.8 grams per kilogram per day is pegged to body weight. Given the average weights of

consumers in developed countries, these guidelines could represent significant increases

over the current 2000-calorie diet recommendations. For American males over 20, with an

average weight of 194 pounds according to the most recent figures from the US Centers for

UN Report submitted by the Special Rapporteur on the right to food

In this report, submitted to the Human Rights Council in accordance with

Council resolution 13/4, the Special

Rapporteur on the right to foodaddresses the links between health

and malnutrition. In the report, he

shows why undernutrition,

micronutrient deficiency and

overnutrition are different

dimensions of malnutrition that

must be addressed together

through a life-course approach.

Existing food systems have failed to

address hunger, and at the same

time encourage diets that are a

source of overweight and obesity

that cause even more deaths

worldwide than does underweight. A transition towards sustainable diets will succeed only

by supporting diverse farming systems that ensure that adequate diets are accessible to all,

that simultaneously support the livelihoods of poor farmers and that are ecologically

sustainable.pdf, 22 pagesRead

Water scarcity threatens food security

Water scarcity is challenging food security in the Asia-Pacific region as demand for food

surges with growing population while production is hindered by ever scarcer water

resources, a senior UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) official said as the World

Water Day falls on Thursday. Food production has to increase by 60 percent globally by

2050 when the world population is expected to reach 9 billion. The Asia- Pacific region has

little potential for water resources with about 78 percent of water supply already being used

for irrigation, said Hiroyuki Konuma, FAO assistant director-general and regional

representative for the Asia-Pacific region. Nearly 600 million people are suffering from

hunger and malnutrition in the Asia-Pacific region where food prices are twice as high as a

decade ago. Food prices will continue to increase in the next ten years Read

The chia crazeMany people in the UK won't have heard of the chia seed, but if regulators give their backing

this US superfood craze could be on the way. Goji berries, kombucha, wheatgrass, acai

berries. It seems rarely a year passes without at least one new health-food frenzy.

Everything from handfuls of strange seeds to bacteria-infested yoghurts to espresso-style

shots of odd-tasting green juices are touted as a shortcut to wellbeing. Chia will soon be

joining the list. So what exactly is it? Chia, or Salvia hispanica L, is a member of the mint

family from Mexico and South America. The flowering plant can sprout in a matter of days,

but chia's appeal is in the nutritional punch of its tiny seeds. With more omega-3 fatty acids

than salmon, a wealth of antioxidants and minerals, a complete source of protein and more

fibre than flax seed, the seeds have been dubbed a "dieter's dream", "the running food", "amiracle", and "the ultimate super food", by advocates and athletes.......Read

The Philippine market for dairy products

The Philippines is one of the fastest growing economies in Asia and has a population of over

93 million. The country is almost completely dependent on imports of all dairy commodities.

Domestic milk is used only for ready-to-drink milk. Traditional Philippine cuisine does not

have any place for dairy products. Despite this, dairy consumption has grown, encouraged

by Government policies. Milk powders are largely used for reconstitution as ready-to-drink

milk (either fresh or UHT). The major players in the market are Fonterra Philippines, AlaskaMilk Corporation (USA), Nestle and Snow Mountain Corporation. The country has an import

requirement of around 180,000 tonnes of milk powders. SMP accounts for around 110,000

tonnes while WMP imports and whey combined make up around 70,000 tonnes. Milk

Powders (SMP, WMP, Whey and Buttermilk powder) constitute about 79% of total imports.

New Zealand is the largest supplier to the market, accounting for 36% of imports. This is

followed by the United States at 25%, Australia at 11% and Malaysia at 6%. Australia and

New Zealand have tariff free access due to a free trade agreement.Read
