The trayless package uses 50% less space on a truck, thus providing a 100% increase in shipping capabilities. With twice as many trayless packages on a truck than the trayed product, we can take one truck off the road for every two that is currently used for shipping ground beef, therefore reducing greenhouse emissions tremendously. In today’s world, that is a valuable advantage to the producer and the consumer.

Meat Industry Hall Of Fame Class Of 2022

By Fred Wilkinson, The National Provisioner

The members of the Meat Industry Hall of Fame’s Class of 2022 exemplify not just a depth and breadth of knowledge in meat science, product development, and food safety -- but also an ongoing commitment to sharing their knowledge for the betterment of the meat and poultry industry and, ultimately, for the health and eating enjoyment of the public.

Here are the six pillars of the industry as they have been inducted into the Meat Industry Hall of Fame.

Campano has fostered a new approach to food safety and food ingredients, with his leadership impacting not only the growth of Hawkins’ food ingredient business but the meat industry as a whole. His contributions include pioneering low-inclusion antimicrobial technology, and developing and securing regulatory approval for ingredients to enable clean-label meat and poultry products. His antimicrobial knowledge helped in the creation of a mold inhibition system for hay production, enabling improvement in hay quality with reduced spoilage.

2022’s Meat Industry Hall of Fame Supplier Inductee

Steve Campano, began his tenure in the meat industry by working at the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Meat Science Research Laboratory in Beltsville, Md., before going on to work at a number of companies, including Viskase Corp. (formerly Union Carbide Corp. Film Packaging Division), Greenwood Packing Co., Central Soya Co., and Trumark. Inc. His current role is vice president at Hawkins Inc.

Dr. Gordon W. Davis has served the industry as a leader and educator to the meat science community through his work with students. Davis’ company, CEV Multimedia, has reached countless students, allowing them to learn about and, ultimately, find success in the meat industry.

Davis served as a meat science professor at theUniversity of Tennessee and at Texas Tech University, where he continues serving in an adjunct role. During his time as an academic meat scientist, Davis published journal articles, book chapters, technical articles, abstracts, and video productions. Meat judging was a particular passion for Davis, who co-founded the Cargill High Plains Meat Judging contest in 1981, which has hosted more than 4,500 collegiate students from 40 colleges and universities. He also hosted the first A Division Southeastern Meat Judging Contest at the University of Tennessee. While in academia, he advised and encouraged students to become interested in meat judging, graduate school, and careers in the industry. Among the students he guided through graduate school were Terry Rolan and Rody Hawkins, co-project managers for Oscar Mayer’s Lunchables production; Mark Miller, Tommy Wheeler, and 2019 Hall of Fame Inductee, Chris Calkins.
