With the surge in demand for third-party delivery, and as the safety of delivered food is more important than ever as the world deals with the COVID-19 crisis, tamper-evident labels have taken on a more prominent role in the restaurant industry. Most restaurant operators and consumers alike are familiar with tamper-evident labels and seals. Everyday items such as over-the-counter drugs, food items, packaging materials, cleaning solutions and laundry products now often employ this method of security. Many manufacturers are now required to use these labels on their products. Here are some key things to know about these labels.

Three Generations of Clinebells Keep it Cool

In 1964, the Clinebell patriarch, Virgil Clinebell, moved his family from Havana, Illinois to their new lives in Loveland, Colorado. From his time repairing refrigeration systems on the river tugs, to his new life in Colorado, one thing remained the same: the Clinebell level of service to their customers. He started to show people how it could be in the ice business. When Virgil’s son Mike graduated from high school, he joined the business full-time. These were the early days when the CB300 was still in the development stages. Between that time and today, well over 4,000 block makers have been sold not only in every state in the U.S., but globally as well. Eventually Virgil retired fully and his daughter Brenda (Clinebell) Seaman, came back to join Mike in the family business. The business was continuing to expand and becoming more than one person could manage. The CB300 was dominating sales and Continued on Page 33

High-Traffic Establishments Require High-Speed XLERATOR Hand Dryers Arooga’s Grille House & Sports Bar, the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania-based restaurant brand, was named the first full-service Certified Green Restaurant® in Pennsylvania by the Green Restaurant Association (GRA). To achieve this rating and to reduce its carbon footprint, Arooga’s implemented a number of green initiatives, including the removal of polystyrene foam from all locations, changing its cleaning products and including high-speed, energy efficient XLERATOR® Hand Dryers in all restrooms.

Drying hands in 8 seconds, the XLERATOR not only moves patrons in and out of the restroom quickly – and back to their table or the bar for additional patronage – they help cut labor and maintenance costs. The XLERATOR represents a 95 percent cost savings when compared to paper towels, eliminating their labor, maintenance and waste.

Sprouted Grain Breads from Food For Life Baking Food For Life Baking Co., maker of the incredibly delicious and nutritious Ezekiel 4:9® Sprouted Grain Bread, has been committed to the health of its customers since its inception over 50 years ago. Among the many natural sprouted grain breads are its widely popular Ezekiel 4:9 and Genesis 1:29® breads, English muffins, tortillas, buns and cereal. Sprouting maximizes digestibility and nutrition while lowering the glycemic index in its flourless bakery products. Beyond the commitment to superior nutrition, there’s also a commitment to a balanced and protected pH in every loaf. Why is a balanced pH so important? Because Food For Life recognizes that a balanced pH is absolutely essential for optimum health. This is why Food For Life meticulously chooses its ingredients and refuses

to use acidifying agents such as cultured wheat starch, vinegar, calcium propionate and ascorbic acid – all preservatives As an amazing benefit of sprouting, grains actually become more alkaline as water and oxygen support the growth of the new plant and naturally balances the pH. While a balanced pH is great for health reasons, helping protect against disease and illness, a higher pH does tend to shorten shelf life. This is why the company primarily sells Food For Life breads frozen. Since its Ezekiel breads have become so popular, the company is seeing more competitors now releasing sprouted grain breads, though using acidifying agents like vinegar and cultured wheat starch to extend their shelf life. Unfortunately, these ingredients lower the pH, by increasing the acidity which

Bone Suckin’ Sauce from Ford’s Gourmet Foods When the Ford family decided to sell their family’s secret sauce more than 25 years ago, they thought it would be a sentimental addition to the gourmet foods side of their fourth generation family produce business. Little did they know that were creating a phenomenon. “The sauce came from my Grandma’s recipe on my Dad’s side that was then modified by my uncle. The

name of the sauce was inspired my Grandma on my Mom’s side. My mom, Sandi Ford, named the sauce Bone Suckin’ Sauce, because she was reminded of her mom eating chicken down to the bone,” said Patrick Ford, Vice President of Ford’s Gourmet Foods. And so, Bone Suckin’ Sauce (BSS) was born. A Western North Carolina style, tomato-based sauce sweetened with real

What’s the real secret of the secret sauce? “It comes down to simple, honest ingredients. We offered a gluten free, no high fructose corn syrup, non-GMO, delicious sauce long before it was the trendy thing to do,” said Ford. “And in every product since, we have stuck to that philosophy, and that matters to our customers.” BSS has been rated No. 1 by Food and Wine Magazine, Newsweek Magazine and recognized by countless other competitions and news outlets. The product offering has expanded over the years to include variety of sauces and marinades, seasonings and rubs, and a spicy and a sweet mustard, both of which were recently named National Champions by Illinois Barbecue Society. “The accolades from the industry and the press are nice, but what really matters to us is what our customers say,” adds Ford. “We get messages from customers all the time – multiple generations enjoying BSS at a family barbecue or customers with celiac disease being able

Are tamper-resistant and tamperevident labels and seals the same? No, they are not – and this causes a lot of confusion. A tamper-resistant label is designed to deter tampering with a product. However, it does not necessarily provide visual evidence that a product has been tampered with.
