welcome CBG Family,
How could we start this without simply just extending our heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you again. You continue to be the heartbeat of this company and we are so grateful. We hope and pray that you and your families are keeping safe and managing through these most difficult times and we can’t wait until this over and we can all get back together again. By now, hopefully, you’ve seen our video and that you are in agreement with the new plans and strategic direction that we are taking the company in as our direct response to this COVID-19 crisis. As you are now aware, except for The Nest, all major projects will be on hold and as “One CB Group”, our emphasis, efforts and goals will now simply be centered around the 4 key initiatives of our Make A Difference Plan. 1. Taking care of our CBG Team 2. Being there for our customers 3. Supporting our farming community (through the Say Yes To Fresh campaign) 4. Contributing to the COVID-19 crisis (through the Feeding the Frontline program) We pray that this crisis is behind us soon, but we are also being realistic that this may just be the start of a long road, with tough, tough times ahead. As food shortages loom throughout the world, Jamaica needs us now more than ever, as we stand united against COVID-19. So, we implore you to be responsible, practice social distancing and do all you can to stay healthy.
1
Together, we are and will always be better. Together we can Make A Difference. Together we will overcome the COVID-19 crisis. Stay Safe, ML & LAHL

Supporting Small Farmers
Supermarkets and markets are still open and farmers continue to supply these customers. So while #freshfoods and #localfoods are very much available to the country, let us play our part. We encourage you all to eat as much local vegetables, fruits and meats where available.
With the advent of COVID-19 and the ripple effect of hotels and restaurants closing temporarily, and us the consumers shifting buying patterns to more non-perishable tinned foods, our local farmers are at substantial threat. So what happens when hotels close and we stock up on all these non-perishable foods? Our farmers’ watermelons, lettuce, scallions, cucumbers, pineapples and cabbage may all go to waste. These fresh produce need a new home. Our local farmers need our help. With this in mind, our Leadership Team and Marketing have been actively working with the government and other private sector companies to promote the buying of local produce and meats. As part of this, we have spearheaded the “Say Yes to Fresh” National Campaign that seeks to generate support for our local farmers and educate all Jamaican consumers on the importance of consuming fresh local foods over imported perishable imports.
If you can do one thing to #SupportLocal, please #BuyWithPurpose

Remember
• Plan your weekly meals so you cut down on the number of times you go grocery shopping • Practice safe distancing when at the supermarket (at least 6 feet away from other shoppers and store attendants) • Look for ‘local’ on labels
Easy recipes: • Replace processed imported apple and grape juices with homemade freshly squeezed fruit juices made with local watermelons, pineapples and cucumbers • Good ol’ pumpkin soup hits the spot; it helps to build the immune system and can be cooked in a big batch and easily frozen to reheat a few days later • Freshly made salads with Jamaican lettuce, cabbage and cucumbers provide a good source of Vitamins A and C, and gives you lots of fibre

Feeding the Frontline means
Our frontline workers. They are the ones whose jobs place them in direct contact with us, every day civilians, in a time of pandemic. We do not truly appreciate the men and women who work on the frontline until we need them. Right now, so many are putting their own safety and families at risk, to keep the rest of us safe. As a simple ‘Thank You’ and to show our support in this global fight against COVID-19, over the next few months CB Foods will be donating 25,000 meals to doctors, nurses, hospital workers, soldiers, policemen and others - all who are helping to keep us safe. And of course, they will be made from 100% Jamaican foods that support our farmers. We are all in this fight together. As we face this global crisis together, let us find ways to look after each other. 5
Marketing will be calling on volunteers from our CBG family island-wide to help say Thank You through this initiative.

CB Foods returned as the Title Food Sponsor with several of our brands. Our PAN and Bad Dawg vendors were doubled this year based on the hit that they were last year. Our 2019 PAN Champion Kerisa Wright brought her winning formula to Hope Gardens and wowed the crowd. Bad Dawg had a super yummy chili topping sauce for the true pork lovers. CB Foods customer Murrays Jerk led the Copperwood Pork booth with fall off the bone Spare Ribs and melt in your mouth charcoal pork smoking away on the Road Hog.

Toosie Kay Catering showed patrons that ham is not just for Christmas time, with a rum-mayo ham and cheese wrap served with freshly crisped breadfruit chips, and a ham penne pasta that had the Festival-goers coming back for more. SOBE Food & Wine Festival 2020 featured Jamaican chef and Copperwood Pork Palooza 2019s’ Top Hog Charissa Skyers of Pink Apron, served up a Mexican style chicken nachos and a delicious Mac & Cheese chicken sammy. Customer Sora Japanese brought an Asian flare to the offering with a pescatarian friendly sushi, crispy pork belly and Japanese fried chicken. For the non-meat lovers, Sharkies came on board for a novel partnership, and is now a part of the CB Foods family. Not to be left out, was our Happy Foods soup with pepperpot being a hit.

Nutradays Customer Appreciation Sees Source One On Top After five weeks of food, laughter and celebration, Nutramix ended its Nutradays customer appreciations with a bang. On February 5th, Nutramix commenced its five-week long series of customer appreciations to congratulate its top customers in its five sales regions – North Western, North Eastern, South Eastern, South Central and Western. The team took a break from the fun and excitement to participate in the 65th staging of The Hague Agricultural Show in Trelawny on February 26th (Ash Wednesday). Without hesitation, the Nutramix team returned to Trelawny to congratulate Farm Plus and Variety Store, then to Source One Trading in Westmoreland the following week. All too familiar with the Nutradays celebration, Mr. Osmond “Ossie” Clarke and his team at Source One Trading spent the day in the company of his customers. While Mr Clarke danced and laughed with his team, the Nutramix team prepared the ultimate surprise. Mr Winston Thomas, Regional Sales Manager presented Source One with two awards, 1st Place Sales in South Western and 1st Place Sales in Jamaica and the Region, along with a trip for two to a Caribbean island for Mr Clarke. Mr Clarke and his team managed to achieve three consecutive years of earning 1st Place, and as such, we believe his dedication and loyalty to the Nutramix brand should be awarded. 10

COPPERWOOD FARMS'
Fight Against Corona Amid the coronavirus (COVID -19) pandemic, and Jamaica being the 120th country to receive its COVID-19 scare, we at Copperwood Farms Limited have implemented measures to #staysafe, #staycoronafree, and #keepcalm. Infrared Thermometers Our journey to maintain a corona-free facility begins at the entrance of the plant. All workers and contractors are screened using an infrared thermometer to check for above normal body temperature BEFORE being allowed access. The infrared thermometer allows for non-contact of the security personnel with staff and non-contact of temperature monitoring devices from one individual to the next. There’s also a separate pen assigned for use by truck drivers to eliminate the need for them to borrow the one used by security personnel. Hand Wash Stations Once on the inside, there is a hand wash station for all who enter the facility to wash their hands, thereby killing germs and preventing the spread of COVID-19. The hand wash station also serves as a reminder to practice good hygiene and regular handwashing to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Signage Signs are posted at strategic locations to remind & empower staff with information so as to #staycoronafree. In addition, staff en route to the change room/restroom are armed with information from the notice board to #keepcalm and #staycoronafree. Handwashing reminders are also posted in the restrooms to keep staff sensitized of the risk posed to them if the proper handwashing technique is not employed. When lives are threatened, it’s easy to panic, however it’s important to remember to remain calm and think and act logically. We pray that as we traverse this pandemic that we will through the love of God, be mindful of how we can #staysafe, #staycoronafree, and #keepcalm always. 12

FIELD OPER ATIONS Fight Against Corona
Sharing some measures put in place by our locations.
While many business places have closed their doors and employees work from home, the CB Field Department presses on. Our eggs have been set, our chicks are hatching, our birds are feeding, growing and laying. The processing of birds and eggs continue as we strive to feed our nation, Jamaica Land We Love. We do recognize however that this COVID affair is not business as usual, and so we have put many measures in place to mitigate against the spread throughout our operations. With that, our security personnel have been trained to conduct primary screening for all persons entering and leaving our premises and a travel history is required of all visitors. Using non contact digital thermometers, temperatures are monitored and recorded. Pending a favorable reading (less than 100°F) a healthy spray of 70% alcohol or a squirt of hand sanitizer is dispensed in hand and entry allowed. Our team members are also playing their part. Social distancing is observed in every way possible and the sanitization of common touch surfaces and hands are done several times throughout the day. The technical team continues to give support to ensure that eggs are safely set and processed, bird health is optimum and the haulage and transportation of birds meet animal health and welfare standards. Face to face meetings are nonexistent. Through the use of technology, we meet via Zoom and our line of communication always stay open through frequent Whatsapp messages and telephone calls. Daily updates are provided on the status of the disease both locally and globally and best practices are shared to help with the containment of the disease.
Egg Farms Handwash stations are currently being installed across the farm to encourage frequent hand‑washing and sanitizing as we try to reduce the risk of COVID-19 at CBE
The workers are engaged, the chickens have been boosted, the farms have been bio-secured and we continue our fight against COVID 19 in CB Field Operations. 14

Newport Mills Limited concurs with Benjamin Franklin and has implemented several measures to prevent and fight COVID-19. We believe that this fight cannot be done in isolation but should be taken seriously and with a collaborative approach. The following outlines the measures taken by the NPM team in playing our part in the fight against COVID-19: 1. All persons (employees and visitors alike) are subjected to hand sanitization with 70% isopropyl alcohol upon entrance to the property.
“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.� Benjamin Franklin objective is to encourage and create a culture of frequent hand washing and sanitizing among all staff, customers and visitors. 3. Hand sanitizing stations

4. Educate on personnel hygiene. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it has been recommended to wash hands frequently, as well as clean and sanitize contact surfaces, in order to eliminate any potential viral load at each high risk area, which will inevitably prevent individuals from contracting the disease. All employees have been sensitized on personal hygiene and encouraged to maintain the culture of frequent hand washing and hand sanitizing.

In the event that an employee is suspected of displaying symptoms of COVID-19, we would like to offer support to assist this individual. A standard procedure has been created to address this issue (this has been circulated via email to staff as well as posted on all noticeboards). If the employee is suspected, this will be communicated to the Supervisor/Manager who then escorts the ill person to the sick bay where they will be interviewed by phone. The ill person is also given a COVID- 19 kit which includes:

We have been working harmoniously with our suppliers and service providers to acquire more stock. 9. We are now in receipt of calibrated non-contact infrared thermometers, which assesses the body temperature of each person before entrance is allowed on property. A body temperature of 38°C or greater will not be permitted on the property as high fever is one of the main symptoms of being infected with the Corona virus.
• N95 dust masks, nitrile gloves, hand sanitizer, energy bar, bottled water and of course, a brochure providing medical information about self-care at home, the COVID Hotline and other useful tips while in quarantine at home.

COVID 19 (CoV) What is a coronavirus? Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are known to cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). What is a novel coronavirus? A novel coronavirus (CoV) is a new strain of coronavirus that has not been previously identified in humans. Can humans become infected with a novel coronavirus of animal source? Detailed investigations found that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet cats to humans in China in 2002 and MERS-CoV from dromedary camels to humans in Saudi Arabia in 2012. Several known coronaviruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans. As surveillance improves around the world, more coronaviruses are likely to be identified. What are the symptoms of someone infected with a coronavirus? It depends on the virus, but common signs include: • respiratory symptoms • fever • cough • shortness of breath • breathing difficulties.
What can I do to protect myself? Standard recommendations to reduce exposure to and transmission of a range of illnesses include maintaining basic hand and respiratory hygiene, and safe food practices and avoiding close contact, when possible, with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing. What are the WHO recommendations for countries? WHO encourages all countries to enhance their surveillance for severe acute respiratory infections (SARI), to carefully review any unusual patterns of SARI or pneumonia cases and to notify WHO of any suspected or confirmed case of infection with novel coronavirus. Source: WHO [9 January 2020]
In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death. Is there a vaccine for a novel coronavirus? When a disease is new, there is no vaccine until one is developed. It can take a number of years for a new vaccine to be developed. Is there a treatment for a novel coronavirus? There is no specific treatment for disease caused by a novel coronavirus. However, many of the symptoms can be treated and therefore treatment based on the patient’s clinical condition. Moreover, supportive care for infected persons can be highly effective.

How to protect yourself from getting infected
A P R I L
The World Health Organization’s standard recommendations for the general public to reduce exposure to and transmission of a range of illnesses are as follows, which include hand and respiratory hygiene, and safe food practices: • Frequently clean hands by using alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water; • When coughing and sneezing cover mouth and nose with flexed elbow or tissue – throw tissue away immediately and wash hands; • Avoid close contact with anyone who has fever and cough; • If you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing seek medical care early and share previous travel history with your health care provider; • When visiting live markets in areas currently experiencing cases of novel coronavirus, avoid direct unprotected contact with live animals and surfaces in contact with animals; • The consumption of raw or undercooked animal products should be avoided. Raw meat, milk or animal organs should be handled with care, to avoid cross-contamination with uncooked foods, as per good food safety practices.

CB Chicken Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas
4 - 6 | 10 mins |
40 mins
INGREDIENTS
DIRECTIONS
For the Fajita Marinade:
1.
For the Fajita Marinade: Combine soy sauce, lime juice, oil, brown sugar, cumin, black pepper, chili powder, and garlic in medium bowl and whisk to combine. Transfer ½ cup marinade to a separate bowl and set aside.
2.
For the Chicken: Place chicken in a large zip-lock bag and add remaining marinade. Seal bag, squeezing out as much air as possible. Massage bag until meat is fully coated in marinade. Lay flat in refrigerator, for at least 3 and up to 10 hours.
3.
For the Fajitas: When ready to cook, preheat broiler and position over rack to highest position. If using a baking steel/ stone, set a rimmed baking sheet on it to preheat as well; otherwise leave baking sheet at room temperature.
4.
Remove chicken from marinade and blot dry with paper towels. Arrange chicken in an even layer on rimmed baking sheet. Broil, without flipping, until chicken is well browned on top side, about 5 minutes. Broiler strength and oven designs vary greatly, so cooking times will vary as well. Flip chicken and broil until second side is also browned, about 4 minutes longer. Remove from oven and transfer.
5.
Switch oven from broil mode to 450°F. Add red, yellow, and green bell peppers as well as onions to baking sheet. Pour reserved ½ cup of marinade all over and toss until evenly coated; using a spoon, scrape up any browned bits on the baking sheet. Arrange peppers and onion in an even layer that covers the baking sheet from edge to edge, then cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and browned in spots, about 25 minutes.
6.
Slice chicken into thin strips, then add back to sheet pan with any juices. Return to oven to warm through.
7.
Serve immediately with hot tortillas, guacamole, pico de gallo, and other condiments, as desired.
