Marble Slab Creamery Canada Debuts New Technology

NEWTON, Ma. and CALGARY — Paytronix has partnered with Marble Slab Creamery Canada to launch an enhanced guest experience, beginning with a new mobile app, website and Marble Slab Rewards loyalty program.

Marble Slab Creamery has been an innovator in the ice-cream space, dreaming up the frozen slab technique 40 years ago in Houston. Global expansion brought the homemade, small-batch ice cream to Canada in 2003, with more than 100 locations now operating coast to coast in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Nova Scotia, plus franchise expansion underway to add 40 more stores.

Mobile and online ordering continues to grow and Marble Slab Canada is ensuring a seamless customer experience for guests engaging with the brand at any touchpoint. The new website and mobile app make it easy to choose from more than 50 flavours of ice cream and unlimited Mixins for the legendary frozen slab. Marble Slab Rewards, the new loyalty program, makes it easier to earn and redeem rewards, and learn about new promotions or special offers.

Marble Slab began its technology overhaul by moving all Canadian operations to the latest point of sale system from Toast. Tight integration between Toast and Paytronix established a foundation for Marble Slab to then partner with Paytronix, putting the guest experience first in re-designing the website, loyalty program, mobile app and the rest of the tech stack.

“By leveraging Paytronix’s innovative guest-engagement solutions, we’re enhancing the way we connect with our customers, offering them a more personalized and rewarding experience,” says Cam Inglis, president, Marble Slab Creamery Canada. “This collaboration allows us to better understand our guests’ preferences, ensuring that every visit to Marble Slab isn’t just delicious but also uniquely tailored to the guests.”

“This is about much more than upgrading technology for Marble Slab, it’s a tech-enabled platform to differentiate the brand and establish a one-on-one relationship with guests,” says Andrea Mulligan, Chief Customer Officer at Paytronix. “Marble Slab has created an amazing personal experience even when guests begin their engagement with the brand through the app or website, leveraging each interaction to personalize loyalty campaigns and reward offers at scale. Marble Slab is advancing the industry with a tech infrastructure that engages customers and provides a competitive advantage to its store operators and franchisees.”

Goodway Technologies Launches DIB-2500 Dry Ice Blaster



Goodway Technologies has launched the DIB-2500 dry ice blaster, a chemical-free and completely dry method for difficult cleaning applications in food and beverage production facilities. 

Dry ice blasting technology uses frozen dry ice crystals – that instantly vaporize on contact – to quickly and easily remove very difficult-to-clean soils such as polymerized oil, baked-on carbon and heavy caked-on debris, leaving the surface clean, dry and residue-free.

Ideal for dry cleaning and chemical-free environments, dry ice cleaning technology is a completely waterless, non-abrasive, non-toxic and non-corrosive solution to clean equipment surfaces and leave them and their surroundings clean and dry. Propelled by compressed air, the DIB-2500 fires tiny dry ice pellets at super high speeds to instantly remove debris from surfaces. The pellets turn from a solid into a gas form on contact, a process called sublimation, leaving the surface clean and dry.

“Developing dry cleaning technologies for food and beverage cleaning and sanitation needs has been a strategic focus for us in recent years,” says Tim Kane, president and CEO of Goodway Technologies. “Adding dry ice technology will be a game changer for customers looking to increase their cleaning ability without the need for water or any moisture. The feedback has been extremely positive.”  

The DIB-2500 unit is fully portable and can easily be used across multiple production lines or facilities.

How NotCo’s Giuseppe AI Has Evolved Over the Past Decade

Almost a decade ago, while others experimenting with AI focused on algorithms for trading, diagnostics, or digital advertising, a company called NotCo was experimenting with AI by the name of Giuseppe to create plant-based foods that could match the taste and texture of their animal-based counterparts.

According to Aadit Patel, SVP of AI Product and Engineering at NotCo, the company’s founders (Patel would join a couple of years after the company was founded in 2015) realized early on that, in order to build an AI model that could help create plant-based products mimicking the taste, texture, and functionality of their animal-based counterparts, they would need a whole lot of data.

The problem was, as a startup, they didn’t have any.

When I asked Patel in a recent interview how the company overcame the infamous “cold start” problem—the challenge many embryonic AI models face before they have built large datasets on which to train—he told me they found the solution in a very public place: the U.S. government’s website.

“In the early days, when we had no money, we literally scraped the USDA website,” said Patel. “If you go to the USDA website, there’s a bunch of free data materials for you to use. And I guess no one had actually joined it together to create a comprehensive dataset… So the first versions of Giuseppe were built on that.”

This cobbled-together dataset formed the foundation for Giuseppe’s recommendations, leading to the creation of products like NotMilk, which uses unexpected combinations like pineapple and cabbage to replicate the taste of dairy milk.

As NotCo grew, so did Giuseppe’s capabilities. New analytical labs in San Francisco and Santiago, Chile, gave the company a wealth of new data on which to train its AI. Over time, the model’s ability to create innovative food products also improved.

One of the biggest hurdles in food development is the fragmented nature of the supply chain. Data is scattered across various entities—ingredient suppliers, flavor houses, manufacturers, and research institutions—each holding critical information that contributes to the success of a product. Over time, the company realized that to create an AI capable of building innovative products, it couldn’t rely solely on NotCo’s datasets. Instead, Giuseppe would need to integrate and analyze data from across this complex web of partners.

“What we’ve done with Giuseppe is figure out a way to incentivize this very fragmented ecosystem,” Patel said.

According to Patel, pulling together these disparate datasets from across the product development and supply chain would result in a more holistic understanding of what is needed for a successful product that is better aligned with market realities.

“We realized that if we just made an AI system that’s specific to CPG, we’d be losing out,” said Patel.

Generative AI and Flavor and Fragrance Development

One recent expansion of Giuseppe’s capabilities has been the exploration of new flavors and fragrances using generative AI. While GenAI models like ChatGPT have become infamous for creating sometimes strange and off-putting combinations when designing recipes and new food product formulations, Patel explained that the company has been able to overcome issues with general LLMs by creating what he calls a discernment layer. This layer filters and evaluates the multitude of generated possibilities, narrowing them down to the most promising candidates.

“Discernment is key because it’s not just about generating ideas; it’s about identifying the ones that are likely to succeed in the real world,” Patel said. “With generative AI, you can prompt it however you want and get an infinite amount of answers. The question is, how do we discern which of these 10,000 ideas are the ones most likely to work in a lab setting, a pilot setting, or beyond?”

The discernment layer works by incorporating additional data points and contextual knowledge into the model. For instance, it might consider a formulation’s scalability, cost-effectiveness, or alignment with consumer preferences. This layer also allows human experts to provide feedback and fine-tune the AI’s outputs, creating a process that combines AI’s creativity with the expertise of flavor and fragrance professionals.

Early tests have shown positive results. When tasked with creating a new flavor, both the AI and the human perfumers receive the same brief. When the results are compared in A/B tests, Patel says the outputs of Giuseppe’s generative AI were indistinguishable from those created by human experts.

“What we’ve built is a system where AI and human expertise complement each other,” said Patel. “This gives us the flexibility to create products that are not just theoretically possible but also market-ready.”

CPG Brands Still Have a Long Way to Go With AI-Enhanced Food Creation

Nearly a decade after building an AI model with scraped data from the USDA website, NotCo has evolved its AI to create new products through a collaborative approach that results in a modern generative AI model incorporating inputs from its partners up and down the food value chain. This collaborative approach is being used for internal product development and third-party CPG partners, many of whom Patel said approached the company after they announced their joint venture with Kraft Heinz.

“Ever since our announcement with Kraft Heinz and signing a joint venture, there’s been a lot of inbound interest from a lot of other large CPGs asking ‘What can you do for us?’ and ‘What is Giuseppe?’ They want to see it.”

When I told Patel I thought that big CPG brands have come a long way over the past twelve months in their embrace and planning for using AI, he slightly disagreed. He said that while there’s a lot of interest, most big brands haven’t actually transformed their business to fully create products with the help of AI.

“I would say there’s strong intent to adopt it, but I think there hasn’t been put forth like a concrete action plan to actually develop the first AI-enabled R&D workforce,” said Patel. “There is room, I think, for new AI tech for formulators, and room for best practices and lessons learned of adopting AI.”

You can watch my full interview with Aadit below.

The NotCo team will be at the Food AI Summit talking about their new efforts using generative AI to develop flavor and fragrance, so make sure to get your tickets here.

UK cold chain adds £14bn to the UK economy

Reading, UK: The UK’s cold chain industry adds £14bn to UK GDP, supports 184,000 jobs and provides £3.7bn in tax revenue, according to a new report by Oxford Economics.

But rising energy costs, up 46% in 2023 compared to 2022, weigh heavily on the sector despite over a quarter of cold stores running on renewable energy.

The report, Cold Chain Report 2024, launched at the federation’s Cold Chain Live! event this week, updates statistics on cold storage and temperature-controlled distribution.

The cold chain supports economic activity across all regions of the UK due to the geographically widespread nature of the sector. Jobs supported by the cold chain were concentrated in the East Midlands (23,000), East of England (22,000), North West (21,000).
 
The report identifies little change in maritime trade use of refrigerated shipping containers. Last year, 342,425 were imported into UK ports, which was no change from 2022. London Gateway is the busiest port, with 51% of all traffic. The sector saw a 9% decrease in exports.
 
Other key numbers include:

  • The number of cold stores operating blast freezers increased by 3% in 2023, when compared to 2022
  • The use of CO2 as a primary refrigerant in cold stores increased by 4%, whilst ammonia and HFCs each reduced by 2%
  • The cost of diesel used in truck and fridges increased by 4% in 2023

The report highlights the cold chain’s vital role supporting UK manufacturing, facilitating £53bn in chilled and frozen food, beverages, and pharmaceutical sales in 2023.

International trade supporting £12bn in UK exports and £32bn in frozen and chilled goods imports.

Regional economies driving economic activity across all regions with significant job concentrations in the East Midlands, East of England, North West, and Yorkshire and the Humber.

The report reveals that nearly half (49%) of all food and beverages produced in the UK – valued at £50bn – require chilling or freezing. This underscores the importance of the cold chain for sectors like food and beverage processing and pharmaceuticals.

The study also highlights the crucial role of the cold chain in the UK’s horticultural sector. Since all horticultural products require temperature-controlled storage and transportation, the cold chain contributes to the production of £1.7bn worth of ornamental plants in 2023.

Prof Toby Peters, professor of cold economy, University of Birmingham, said: “The cold chain has a critical role to play in a future sustainable and prosperous UK and this Report helps shines a light on the criticality of supporting cold chain development and will help ensure the sector finally gets the recognition it deserves.

“The landscape in which the UK’s cold chain operates has undergone profound change in recent years. In the face of a multitude of pressures from external factors such as rapidly changing consumer demands and trade flows following Brexit, the industry is also adapting to a changing climate and the need to be sustainable. There are promising signs of progress but much more still to be achieved.”
 
 Tom Southall, deputy chief executive, Cold Chain Federation, said: “The Cold Chain Report 2024 unequivocally demonstrates the cold chain’s status as a cornerstone of the UK economy, from supporting millions of jobs to facilitating billions in trade, this sector is a vital engine of growth. We urge policymakers and industry leaders to recognise the cold chain’s immense potential and invest in its continued development.”

Nordstrom pulls back on Pacific Northwest omnichannel center plans

https://res.cloudinary.com/dmgi9movl/video/upload/q_1/v1725547644/news/text_to_speech/nordstrom-cancels-west-coast-fulfillment-omnichannel-build-out_hteldk.wav
This audio is auto-generated. Please let us know if you have feedback.

Dive Brief:

  • Nordstrom ceased the build-out and planning of a leased omnichannel center in the Pacific Northwest, the company announced in a Q2 earnings call.
  • The company has improved its operations and found it can serve customers more efficiently with its existing supply chain network while avoiding the added costs of building out the facility, CEO Erik Nordstrom said on the call.
  • Some improvements the company previously touted included a 5% increase in click-to-delivery speed and lower fulfillment costs, according to a Q1 earnings call.

Dive Insight:

Nordstrom identified supply chain optimization as a top priority back in Q4 of 2022. Now, the retailer is seeing improvement along its supply chain, causing it to move away from its Pacific Northwest omnichannel plans.

“Logistics networks have recovered from the supply chain challenges that began during the pandemic, and we’ve improved our supply chain operations over the last few years,” Nordstrom said.

In addition to previously noted enhancements, the retailer is seeing faster processing times for its inbound merchandise enabling faster returns, the CEO said.

The company also said it is rolling out RFID tags across its fleet. Nordstrom is starting to “get the benefits that that insight gives us,” CFO Cathy Smith said on Q2 earnings call. The inventory accuracy provided by the technology also enhances the customer experience, Smith added. 

Even with recent improvements, Nordstrom is still making supply chain enhancement a priority. The company announced it plans to relocate operations from its fulfillment center in San Bernardino, California, to its omnichannel center in Riverside, California, during a Q4 2023 earnings call. The transition will help the company further leverage the Riverside facility’s warehouse automation. 

“We’ll continue to look to leverage our existing supply chain network, always balancing the best customer experience we can with speed and cost,” Smith said.

As it shifts its supply chain strategy, Nordstrom’s board of directors is currently considering a $3.8 billion offer from CEO Erik Nordstrom, President Peter Nordstrom and Mexican retail company El Puerto de Liverpool to buy the company.

USDA revises farm earnings up, though still off 2023

The Agriculture Department has sharply raised its forecast for farm earnings this year, projecting that net farm income will fall by close to 7% from 2023, a far smaller decline than USDA economists had estimated in February.

The new forecast reflects wide variations in earnings by sector. Stronger than previously estimated profits in the cattle, dairy and egg sectors are expected to partially offset price declines that are hammering many row crop producers this year, according to the latest farm income outlook from USDA’s Economic Research Service, released Thursday.

Net farm income for 2024 is now estimated at $140 billion, a decrease of $10.2 billion, or 6.8%, from 2023 when adjusted for inflation. Despite the drop, net farm income would still be 15.2% above the 20-year average, ERS says.

Net cash farm income, which more closely tracks farmers’ cash flow, is forecast at $154.2 billion. When adjusted for inflation, that would be a decline of 9.6%, or $16.3 billion, from 2023 and 6.2% above the 20-year average.

Net cash farm income is based on cash receipts from farming, plus government payments and other farm-related income, minus cash expenses. Net farm income also factors in depreciation and changes in inventory values.

USDA’s February forecast had projected net farm income at $116.1 million this year, or 1.7% below the 20-year average when adjusted for inflation. Net cash farm income was projected to decline 25.8%, or $42.2 billion, in 2024.

The latest forecast doesn’t provide an explanation of the differences between the two forecasts.

ERS economist Carrie Litkowski said the two largest factors in the net income revisions from February were increases in projected animal and animal product receipts, based on market prices, and a reduction in estimated production expenses. In February, USDA economists thought production expenses would actually be higher this year. Instead, they’ve dropped. 

USDA still estimates commodity cash receipts will decline by $9.8 billion this year, but the February forecast projected they would drop by $21 billion. Total receipts from crops are still expected to drop by $27.7 billion, or 10%, led by falling prices for corn and soybeans, but sales of livestock and livestock products are expected to increase by $17.8 billion, or 7.1%, “following increases in receipts for eggs, cattle/calves, milk, and broilers,” ERS says.

The February forecast estimated animal and animal product receipts would drop $4.6 billion.

Sales from corn and soybeans are expected to fall about 21.9% and 16.7% respectively in the latest forecast, while receipts from wheat and cotton are projected down 14.5% and 25.5% respectively in USDA’s latest forecast. Sales of fruits and nuts are projected down 4.3% while receipts from vegetables and melons are expected to be 7% higher. 

Direct government payments are expected to be $1.8 billion, or 15.1%, lower this year because farmers are getting less disaster assistance and payments through the Dairy Margin Coverage program.

Total production costs this year are expected to fall by $4.4 billion, or 1%, with the largest declines in feed, fertilizer and pesticide expenses. 

While labor costs are expected to be 6.9% higher this year, farmers are expected to spend 9.7% less on fertilizer, 10.4% less on pesticides and 12.3% less on feed. 

Average net cash farm income for farm operations is forecast to fall 8.9% to $106,200 in 2024. But farm sector debt and equity are both expected to increase this year by 4.2% and 5.3% respectively.

The revised forecast comes as farm groups are pushing Congress to pass a new farm bill and Republicans are using the downturn in commodity markets the growing agricultural trade deficit to criticize the Biden-Harris administration’s stewardship of the farm economy.

In a statement, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack noted that “2024 iis expected to close out a four-year streak of net farm income that’s above the 20-year average. For the prior four years, net farm income was consistently at or below that historic average, even before the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Without question, despite a softening of input costs, returns to crop producers remain a challenge as we recover from shocks in the market, such as Russia’s war in Ukraine. However, in other areas the report improves the difficult picture the last forecast painted in February: This forecast projects that income for livestock producers will rise, and farmers will continue to see declining production expenses led by feed, fuel and fertilizer helping to offset lower commodity prices.”

But Zippy Duvall, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, said in an interview that producers still need a new farm bill despite the better numbers in the latest forecast, which he described as “very troubling” since it shows net farm income 27.6% below the 2022 record.

“We need a farm bill now and not later. We’ve been kicking the can down the road,” Duvall said. “We’re not seeing more action on the House side, and we see nothing happening on the Senate side, which tells me the Senate side doesn’t care about rural America.”

The House Ag Committee approved a farm bill in May, but it hasn’t been put on the floor yet, and the Congressional Budget Office says it has a $33 billion funding shortfall. Senate Ag Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., has taken no action on a bill in her committee.

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said earlier this week that he expected another one-year extension of the 2018 farm bill to be attached to a continuing resolution that’s needed to keep the government funded after the new fiscal year starts Oct. 1.

ForFarmers and team agrar join forces in Germany

This merger, operating under the name ForFarmers team agrar, will target multiple livestock species. The deal is still pending regulatory approval.

This new partnership marks the next phase in a long-standing collaboration between the two companies, who have already been working together through their joint venture, HaBeMa, a Hamburg-based enterprise that trades, stores, and processes raw materials and compound feed.

By expanding the business alliance, the companies are aiming to leverage their collective resources and expertise, improving their market reach and operational efficiency.

Synergies are expected in areas like back-office, procurement, innovation, and formulation, according to Ilse Niehof-Duivelshof, director and corporate affairs, ForFarmers.

The newly formed ForFarmers team agrar JV will merge the feed operations of both partners, bringing together 380 employees, eight production facilities, three terminals, and a dedicated fleet. However, it will exclude ForFarmers’ German activities under the brands ForFarmers Thesing, Pavo, Reudink, CirQlar, and Vleuten, as well as DLG Group’s non-feed agrar activities, organic feed, Vilofoss operations, and its construction and energy businesses in Germany.

Optimization of purchasing and logistics 

As regards how the tie-up will impact the competitive landscape in the German feed market, Niehof-Duivelshof told us:

“It will significantly expand our geographical reach, enabling us to better serve our customers. By concentrating on two key areas—compound feed and transhipment/logistics—we’re driving greater efficiency and effectiveness. This focus on core competencies lays a strong foundation for sustainable growth.

“A major advantage of the joint venture is the optimization of purchasing and logistics in Germany, leveraging shared knowledge and expertise in procurement, formulation, and innovation. These improvements will enhance the joint venture’s operations, strengthen our supply chain, improve customer service reliability, and maintain our competitive edge.”

ForFarmers will fully consolidate the venture’s financial results; the joint venture’s advisory board will consist of equal representation from both ForFarmers and team agrar. The chair will rotate between the two parties, ensuring a balanced governance structure as the venture charts its future course.

Expansion drive

In July, ForFarmers agreed to acquire Van Triest Veevoeders, a Dutch specialist in feed co-products, pending regulatory approval. The transaction, for an undisclosed amount, is expected to close in the second half of 2024.

Founded in 1959 and based in Hoogeveen, Van Triest specializes in trading residual flows and co-products from breweries and the dairy, sugar, bioethanol, and potato processing industries, as well as managing on-farm roughages. It supplies co-products like brewer’s grains, potato pulp, silage maize, and wet beet pulp to 3,500 farm customers, primarily in the Netherlands, but also in Belgium and Germany.
