The best salad dressings are those that enhance the overall taste while still allowing the individual salad components to shine. Today many varieties of salad dressings and sauces can be found everywhere which means we can add interesting twists and flavors to our salads and other dishes. Therefore, MF Food has presented its wide unique range of salad dressing that cater to all its customer’s desire.

Freshness is everything when it comes to salads; the crisp and refreshing taste, the vibrant colours of the different ingredients – not to mention the nutritional values - are the qualities that make a salad appealing for your customer, and all of them are quickly lost right along with the freshness of the vegetables. As such, choosing the right packaging for your salads becomes an important choice. By using the right salad containers, you can keep your salads at that perfect level of freshness for quite a length of time.

The spring mix harvesting process has been documented previously on the blog (see post HERE), and in this week’s blog, you get to see the salad processing step, showing what happens to those different types of lettuce varieties after they are harvested. The continuation of this process takes place with the same company, Babé Farms, at their processing facility (Fresh Venture Foods) in Santa Maria, California.
What Lettuce is in Spring Mix?
Although we are accustomed to the name “spring mix”, all companies use their own unique mixture to create their specific mix. For Babé Farms, they create multiple different types of lettuce mixtures. In the picture below, you can see how they dictate what types of lettuce are included into each mix.

5 Ways to Reduce Fresh Produce Inventory Waste Right Now
5 Ways to Reduce Food Waste Right Now
“Sometimes the simplest lessons are the most groundbreaking.” That truth is over 30 years old, but its words still resonate loud and clear.
The goal of today’s post is to share a some surprising, yet logical ways to reduce inventory right now…
The key to reducing inventory is not to buy LESS; the key is to buy LATER. Teams that use this inventory reduction strategy and mindset will free up incredible amounts of capital for their organizations.
THE KEY TO INVENTORY REDUCTION IS NOT TO BUY LESS; THE KEY IS TO BUY LATER.
So as you might guess, the opposite absolutely holds true:
The key to raising service levels is typically not buying MORE; it is buying EARLIER. Perhaps we’ll save that breakdown for another day. Here we’ll explore ‘buying later’ as a strategy to reduce inventory and challenge you to see if there’s opportunity to do so in your organization.
How to reduce inventory in supply chain planning: those first few days
Let’s start with a quick word about your initial days using an advanced supply chain planning solution. Most companies experience a dramatic and welcome inventory reduction when they first move from the world of old buying reports and spreadsheets to a best-in-class inventory planning solution. The advanced forecasts offer dramatic results as expected, and the proper safety stock amounts finally being placed on each item often offer a shocking inventory reduction.
This common benefit is based on the fact that most companies carry too much safety stock on their fast-moving, or smooth ‘A’ items. Once those victories are realized, much more opportunity typically unfolds. Even a strong team with an advanced inventory planning and replenishment solution will continue to see deeper results as they increase their knowledge and be more open to coaching and growth.
When safety stock gets inflated, here’s why


Optimizing Fresh Produce Inventory Management.  oday’s PlanningPosts chat is with long-time veteran in the inventory optimization world, Tracy Coon, along with PlanningPosts evangelist Dan Craddock, on the topic of Optimizing New Item inventory.

Summary: New item forecasting is a troubling area because of its tremendous profit impact. If a company has $50M in inventory, New Items could be $5M or more of that investment. Yet, as Tracy explains, so few demand forecasting teams make optimizing new items a key focus. Download now to learn some strategies for putting a sense of urgency behind improving the performance of your new items across the portfolio.
Todd Intro: I am here with two people who consider themselves lifelong inventory optimization professionals. They love the profession and their careers have been built on educating inventory analysts and inspiring inventory planning and demand forecasting excellence.
Welcome, Tracy Coon and Dan Craddock! It’s great to have you both on the show and I know you want to dig into this topic in a big way. You were both replenishment analysts for wholesale companies prior to becoming education consultants.
Dan & Tracy: brief introductions
Todd: Despite this passion for the profession, you both say that you continue to be frustrated by the lack of success in one key aspect of a company’s inventory:

Fresh produce supply chain planning, demand forecasting, pricing: fruit & vegetable packing
‍
Demand Forecasting,
Inventory Optimization, and
Price Elasticity
Supply chain planning relies heavily on science and algorithms for better demand forecasting and inventory management. This includes forecasting independent customer demand, which changes with customer preferences. It also includes dependent demand that aggregates demand streams at a stocking point upstream to other echelons of the supply chain.
Let’s look at how science and machine learning in Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) is streamlining demand forecasting, inventory optimization and price elasticity to improve long-/short-term planning for complex distribution supply chains.
Why is the Distribution Supply Chain So Complex?
Many factors are contributing to increasing complexity in these forecasts, including outbound customer demand volatility, managing multiple suppliers with long lead times (especially overseas), constrained transportation capacity, and increasing inbound supply line volatility.

Large Assortments
Distributors face even greater complexity in managing their supply chains. Large assortments to serve existing customers has become key to differentiation, but introduces an ever larger assortment with intermittent, lumpy and sparse demand in the “long tail.”

Perishable inventory demands attention. Specific inventory-tracking methods help with the job of managing and accounting for perishable inventory. Perishable refers to items that have an expiration date, such food that will go bad if not eaten in a certain amount of time. Single-period inventory control and first-in-first-out, or FIFO, inventory valuation are commonly used to deal with perishable goods.
‍
Much of operations is about being able to match supply to demand. This can be difficult with certain business models that sell perishable goods. As a result, managerial accounting has come up with methods for recognizing inventory for perishable goods. Perishable goods, or goods that may have no value in the next period, can be difficult for managers to track; however, the single-period inventory control system can help to alleviate many issues involved with automatically replenishing inventory when it's down.

If you are unable to connect to the API, please contact support. We love to provide support, however, support for using an API is too technical for our support team (unless you have a Premium Support contract). For all other matters related to the API, your company is expected to have the expertise to proceed without requesting support. We are unable to tell you how to use the data, how to filter it, or how to write SQL or build reports from it, we will not write your SQL, we are unable to change the filtering of the data (once again, you can do this yourself using whatever tool you have chosen). The data is provided in a flat file XML format, with the associations between data logical and determined by using the "Data Definition" document. It is assumed a company capable of using an API is capable of understanding and massaging the data without assistance.

Autogrow’s API and Amazon’s Alexa lead to world first talking AgTech system
Global AgTech company Autogrow has utilized Amazon’s virtual assistant ‘Alexa’, and their IntelliGrow API (Application Programming Interface) to create the first ever talking automated growing system.

Their breakthrough technology demonstrates the versatility of their API and proves Autogrow’s commitment to crack the code of future crop production.

“We think this is the best-use case of AI (Artificial Intelligence) today. We’ve basically turned a vocal sound into a machine command and proven that integration of different systems is possible,” says CEO Darryn Keiller.

“We have done it with Alexa, but we can also integrate with a growers HVAC or lighting system. The possibilities are limitless.”

Autogrow has been considering voice activation technology for a while, but it was a recent conversation with one of their growers that spurred them to accelerate development.

“One of our growers noted how modern apps like Apple’s Siri allows you to interact and how great it would be if he could ask his controller to update him on his crop environment but also instruct it to take action if required,” explains CTO Jeffrey Law.

“Our Solutions Architect, Lee Dunn, relished the challenge and chose Amazon’s Alexa Voice Service (AVS) due to their commitment to enable developers to voice-enable connected products.”

By connecting with Autogrow’s API, Alexa can answer a variety of questions related to readings from Autogrow’s Intelli Range of products including EC, pH, humidity, temperature and light as well as force a nutrient dose.

“This is a new tool we can build on to give our growers more flexibility and control in their business and from here, the possibilities are limitless,” says Mr Keiller.


“At the heart of it, our burning drive is to help producers of crops grown in non-outdoor environments produce higher yield, better quality crops, all year round. They can then generate more profit, enabling them to produce crops that the consumer wants, and when they want it,” says Mr Keiller.
Overview
The FoodData Central API provides REST access to FoodData Central (FDC). It is intended primarily to assist application developers wishing to incorporate nutrient data into their applications or websites.

To take full advantage of the API, developers should familiarize themselves with the database by reading the database documentation available via links on Data Type Documentation. This documentation provides the detailed definitions and descriptions needed to understand the data elements referenced in the API documentation.

NOTE: The API that was available on the USDA Food Composition Databases Web site is no longer being updated and will be discontinued March 31, 2020. Users are encouraged to begin working with the new FoodData Central API system described on this page. This new API allows users to obtain Standard Reference (SR) Legacy data, provides the most current data from the USDA Global Branded Foods Database, and give users the ability to search for specific foods in Foundation Foods and the Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies (FNDDS) 2017-2018.

What's Available
The API provides two endpoints: the Food Search endpoint, which returns foods that match desired search criteria, and the Food Details endpoint, which returns details on a particular food.

Gaining Access
Anyone may access and use the API. However, a data.gov API key must be incorporated into each API request. Sign up to obtain a key, then follow the instructions for how to use your key.

Rate Limits
FoodData Central currently limits the number of API requests to a default rate of 3,600 requests per hour per IP address, as this is adequate for most applications. Exceeding this limit will cause the API key to be temporarily blocked for 1 hour. More detailed information on rate limits may be found at https://api.data.gov/docs/rate-limits. Contact FoodData Central if a higher request rate setting is needed.

Autogrow releases public API to empower growers
Autogrow has released a public API (Application Programming Interface) allowing connectivity between their Folium sensor network and other farm sensor data.

“Growers currently feel frustrated by not having systems that speak to each other. And the truth is that, until other large industry players also provide public APIs, growers are always going to be constrained in what they can do with their data. But we’re leading the charge,” explains Chief Technology Officer Jonathan Morgan.

“We know that many growers use CSV exports like Microsoft Excel, which can be slow, labour-intensive and requires a lot of manipulation to get benefit. Connecting systems via the API will give added efficiency to the process and unlock countless possibilities for external development of features and integrations.”

“We announced the first global API solution for indoor growing in July 2017, and we’ve come a long way since that initial launch. At that time, we were exploring the possibilities and to spur not only our own R&D team but the industry as a whole. From that point we have advanced into wireless sensor capabilities, Bluetooth connectivity, successful A.I. powered tomato yield prediction and cloud-based AWS platform builds; all continuing to give our customers an added advantage in market,” says Mr Morgan.

API’s are still relatively new in Controlled Environment Agriculture, but many technology suppliers are starting to see the value, particularly by making them publicly available. Ben Popat, Product Owner and Project Lead sees endless opportunities when using API technology.

“Public API’s have been available for consumer products for quite a while. A great example would be Google maps where Google gave access to third parties to create thousands of location-based apps using their public API,” notes Mr Popat.

“For our industry, an example would be a developer connecting Folium sensor data using the API to those CSV files but also their Alexa, Siri or Google Assistant. If your temperature in your greenhouse gets too low or too high an alarm could sound in your bedroom or Alexa could play you a song or your Fitbit could sound an alarm. Nothing is impossible.”

One of the key benefits of an API for growers is the ability to customize.

“With Folium there could be 50 features you want to add to the platform to work with your business model. We could potentially build 35 of them, but the other 15 is possible through this API for a business to create themselves. Or a 3rd party wanting to build applications on top of the Folium platform now has the key to be able to do it,” says Mr. Morgan.

“From our perspective public APIs are the future of CEA and we’re looking forward to seeing developers utilize both our API and our Folium Sensor Network to push our solution even further.”

greenscans announces launch of produce database
greenscans, provider of perishable product barcode scanning technology, today announced the launch of its consumer-driven produce information database for in-store barcode scanning and product look-up.

This new database provides consumers with the broadest fruit and vegetable data set, on a product-by-product basis, with a single barcode scan or product search using the greenscans mobile app or other third-party app (via the greenscans mobile platform SDK and API). The development of this data set provides the most complete produce information, including taste, how to choose, nutritional information, and recipe ideas, available to consumers while they shop in the produce department of their favorite grocer. Testing in focused markets shows that this data set now covers over 95% of produce products and over 70% in any store nationwide for barcode scanning, including support for 6,000+ fresh products and the addition of 40,000+ recipes. The app’s produce search feature showed 99% data coverage nationally.

“We put a tremendous amount of effort into this back-end system and had high expectations for product coverage. Our initial testing has significantly exceeded those expectations,” said Paul Engelman, CEO, greenscans.

Additionally, greenscans has been designed to allow growers to customize the information delivered to the consumer once they scan their barcode allowing for a host of extended packaging and brand awareness opportunities, including brand information, customized videos, cross-sell and upsell opportunities, product certifications, and more are all manageable through greenscans’ Perishable Product Index back-end for participating growers.

“Historically, growers and shippers have spent considerable time and effort placing rich consumer content on their Website. Now, consumers can view this content using the greenscans app with one scan of any of their product barcodes. We’ve created a simple, engaging way for them to instantly leverage today’s mobility trends to deliver a customized mobile experience, per product, to manage their consumer messages on a scan-by-scan basis. For the first time, growers can see a measurable return on investment (ROI) for the bulk produce barcode sticker (stacked GS1 Databar barcode)by enabling instant engagement with social media (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc.) via a barcode scan as well as the ability to customize nearly all of the information for an individual product / brand,” said Engelman.
