  • Motivators and Barriers of Bulk Food Store Customers an Examination Through the Application of the Theory of Planned Behavior
    Motivators and barriers of bulk food store customers An examination through the application of the Theory of Planned Behavior. Authors: Julian Valerius Niklas Wolf Supervisor: Erik Lindberg Student Umeå School of Business and Economics Autumn semester 2018 Master thesis (2 year, 15hp) Abstract The pollution of the oceans through plastics has received global wide media coverage over the last years. Also, micro-plastics in ground water and even in fish had been detected, which leads to increased awareness of waste-reduction. Since the beginning of this decade, more bulk food stores open in Germany’s cities and provide an alternative to conventional, packaged products. Plastics and so-called micro-plastics have been found in the bodies of seabirds and in fish. There is an imminent danger of plastics ending up in the human bodies while it travels up the food chain. In order to reduce their impact on the environment, an increasing number of customers engages in the zero-waste movement. To reduce single-use plastics, customers can shop their groceries in bulk-food stores, which allow shopping loose goods from large containers in contrast to individually packed items in regular supermarkets. Customers can bring their own reusable packaging to buy mostly dry foods such as vegetables, pasta, nuts, grains but also some liquids such as oil, honey etc. The stores often also include a non-food section where additional consumable products can be bought. The paper identified a research gap in regards the store concept of bulk-stores which is an emerging trend in Germany since 2014. This thesis analyzes the motivators of bulk-food store shoppers in Germany based on an adapted version of the Theory of Planned Behavior by Izek Ajzen.

  • Providing Bulk Foods Resource Sheet
    Child Nutrition Programs December 2020 Providing Bulk Foods During the COVID-19 Pandemic Questions and Answers for Child Nutrition Program Sponsors* For additional COVID-19 Guidance, please visit the Oregon Department of Education Child Nutrition Programs COVID-19 guidance web page. Question 1—Can we provide multiple days’ worth of meals at once to households? Yes. Child Nutrition Program (CNP) Sponsors may provide eligible children or adults in day care with meals for up to one week at a time. Question 2—Can we provide food in bulk (e.g., providing a gallon of milk instead of individual cartons)? Yes. Sponsors are permitted to provide components in a bulk “grocery-style” to assist with storage and other operational challenges. This may require additional math to calculate how much of a component is needed for a household. For example, for the milk component, if a household has 3 children picking up both breakfast and lunch meals for 5 days, calculate the number of half pints of milk needed (3 children x 2 meals x 5 days = 30 cups. A gallon of milk is equal to 16 half pints, so 2 gallons is enough to meet the minimum requirement of 30 cups). Question 3—What documentation should accompany the bag(s) of bulk food? Sponsors should provide each household with: • A menu for each of the meals with a list of ingredients in each food (include any allergens). • Directions indicating which items should be used in each meal and the planned serving sizes of each food. • Instructions on storage and preparation in accordance with food safety principles.

  • Commercial Food Storage Packages
    containers of bulk foods, like sugar, flour, beans, rice, wheat, and oatmeal. Your refrigerator is also part of your pantry. A food storage room is like a mini grocery store in your home and is located in a basement or may be an extension of a large pantry or closet near your kitchen. (A garage is not a good place to store food because temperatures and humidity fluctuate.) This is where you keep food packaged in buckets and #10 cans for long-term storage. It may contain cases of canned food, bottles of home-canned foods, and extra cartons, cans, and bottles of food purchased on sale. When food in the pantry is used, it is replaced with food from the storage room. A freezer is also part of the food storage no matter where it is located. PERSONALLY SPEAKING My pantry is my go-to cupboard when I am preparing meals. It contains the foods I regularly use. I keep flour and sugar in storage buckets with gamma seals. My beans, oatmeal, and grains are stored in airtight OXO POP containers, and I also have a big container of our favorite homemade granola. I keep smaller items in small storage containers for easy access. My pantry also contains canned goods as well as crackers, chips, cereals, snacks, and cooking ingredients. My food storage room is where I keep a good backup supply of things like pasta, canned beans, vegetables, tomato products, tuna fish, canned chicken, soup base, brown sugar, peanut butter, chocolate chips, and condiments. I replenish my pantry from the storage room, and I replenish the storage room when items go on sale at my local grocery store.

Kagan Vice Chair, Education, Health, and Environmental Affairs Committee 2 West Miller Senate Office Building Annapolis, Maryland 21401 Re: SB 351 Agriculture - Farmers Markets - Advertising, Labeling, and Enforcement (Farmers Market Integrity Act) Hearing Date: February 11, 2020 Position: OPPOSED Dear Chair Pinsky, Vice Chair Kagan and Committee Members: This letter is submitted on behalf of Sprouts Farmers Market, a healthy grocery store founded in 2002 under the guiding principle of making healthy living accessible to all. We operate over 340 stores in 22 states, including three stores in Maryland: 9150 Baltimore National Pike, Ellicott City in Howard County 803 Goucher Boulevard, Towson in Baltimore County 680 Marketplace Drive, Bel Air in Harford County We plan to open two additional stores in Maryland in 2020: 8070 Governor Ritchie Highway, Pasadena in Anne Arundel County 3800 Boston Street, Baltimore City We are opposed to this bill because the definition of “Farmers Market” in SB 351 could prevent us from continuing to do business in the State of Maryland, resulting in a severe negative impact on the communities we serve in your state. Who we are Sprouts Farmers Market is a natural & organic grocery store that offers a full grocery shopping experience with fresh produce, dry groceries, meat and seafood, frozen and bulk foods, and vitamins and supplements. Each Sprouts Farmers Market location employs approximately 100-120 Maryland residents, supports surrounding businesses, and generates hundreds of thousands of tax dollars for Maryland each year. We pride ourselves on conducting our business in a way that is good for our communities.
