  • Mondelēz Union Network
    Mondelēz Union Network What is ? Mondelez is a global snack foods company which came into being on October 2, 2012 when the former Kraft Foods Inc. was split into two, resulting in the creation of two separate companies, both headquartered in the USA. Mondelēz took the “snacks” products (biscuits, confectionery, salty crackers, nuts, gum, Tang), giving it about two-thirds the revenue of the former Kraft. The remaining “grocery” products were stuffed into a North American (only) company now known as Kraft Foods Group. Former Kraft CEO Irene Rosenfeld now heads up Mondelēz. If you worked for the former Kraft or one of its subsidiaries manufacturing or distributing snack products, including former Danone or Cadbury products, you now work for Mondelēz or one of its subsidiaries.

  • Analysis of Gluten in Dried Yeast and Yeast-Containing Products
    foods Article Analysis of Gluten in Dried Yeast and Yeast-Containing Products Laura K. Allred 1,* , Mitchell G. Nye-Wood 2 and Michelle L. Colgrave 2 1 Gluten Intolerance Group of North America, Auburn, WA 98092, USA 2 School of Science, Edith Cowan University, Joondalup, WA 6027, Australia; [email protected] (M.G.N.-W.); [email protected] (M.L.C.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 22 October 2020; Accepted: 27 November 2020; Published: 2 December 2020 Abstract: Yeast are commonly used in the preparation of foods and beverages such as beer and bread and may also be used on their own as a source of nutrients and flavoring. Because of the historical connection of yeast to products made from wheat and barley, consumers maintaining a gluten-free diet can have concerns about the safety of yeast ingredients. Analyzing the safety of yeast and yeast-containing products presents some difficulties, as the yeast organisms actively degrade any gluten in the product, raising questions on the appropriateness of detection by traditional antibody-based methods. This study examines a variety of yeast and yeast-containing products by competitive ELISA and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry for the estimated level of gluten proteins. While samples such as yeast extracts and nutritional yeast contained gluten levels below the 20 mg/kg (or parts per million, ppm) threshold defined by Codex Alimentarius, one baking yeast and a nutritional yeast supplement sample contained higher levels of gluten. This study demonstrates that both competitive ELISA and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry provide similar results in the detection of wheat and barley gluten in yeast-containing products.

    Brien 24/08/10 9:36 PM M/C Journal, Vol. 13, No. 4 (2010) - 'waste' From Waste to Superbrand: The Uneasy Relationship between Vegemite and Its Origins http://journal.media-culture.org.au/index.php/mcjournal/article/view/245 Donna Lee Brien This article investigates the possibilities for understanding waste as a resource, with a particular focus on understanding food waste as a food resource. It considers the popular yeast spread Vegemite within this frame. The spread’s origins in waste product, and how it has achieved and sustained its status as a popular symbol of Australia despite half a century of Australian gastro-multiculturalism and a marked public resistance to other recycling and reuse of food products, have not yet been a focus of study. The process of producing Vegemite from waste would seem to align with contemporary moves towards recycling food waste, and ensuring environmental sustainability and food security, yet even during times of austerity and environmental concern this has not provided the company with a viable marketing strategy. Instead, advertising copywriting and a recurrent cycle of product memorialisation have created a superbrand through focusing on Vegemite’s nutrient and nostalgic value. John Scanlan notes that producing waste is a core feature of modern life, and what we dispose of as surplus to our requirements—whether this comprises material objects or more abstract products such as knowledge—reveals much about our society. In observing this, Scanlan asks us to consider the quite radical idea that waste is central to everything of significance to us: the “possibility that the surprising core of all we value results from (and creates even more) garbage (both the material and the metaphorical)” (9).

The Kearney map of 1855 shows land north of City Road (then Sandridge Road) as poorly-drained and avoided on account of its flood-prone nature. To the immediate south was Emerald Hill. The Port Melbourne railway crossed the river at The Falls and ran north of City Road.

  • Nearly All About Kevin: the Election As Drawn by Australian Cartoonists
    10. Nearly All About Kevin: The election as drawn by Australian cartoonists Haydon Manning and Robert Phiddian In her account of the Danish cartoon furore of 2005, Klausen (2009: 6) notes that ‘political cartoons tell a story or make a comment on current events’, and ‘use exaggerated physiognomic features to make a statement about the fundamental nature of a person or thing’. On the subject of ‘person’, it is our contention that the cartoons of the 2013 election broadly mirrored the wider campaign, particularly in focusing on the nature and antics of Prime Minister Rudd and less on those of his challenger, Tony Abbott. To all dispassionate spectators, 2013 was an election where a change of government was all but guaranteed, but the newly reminted PM clearly believed that a miracle resurrection of Labor’s fortunes was possible. As Peter Hartcher (2013), a regular media confidant of Rudd, wrote after the election: ‘He did not insist that he would challenge only if election victory were guaranteed; he told his most senior supporters that he was prepared to run if Labor had a 30 per cent chance of winning the election’. Whether or not this was a realistic possibility, the cartoonists (in their role as instant graphic historians in the wide range of capital city and regional newspapers surveyed for this chapter) duly told the story that Rudd tried and failed to make the running while Abbott mostly succeeded in playing the disciplined small target. So in relation to the lower house contest the cartoonists generally told an accurate if unsurprising story centred on personalities.

  • Feeding the Vegetarian Baby
    Leicestershire Nutrition and Dietetic Services Feeding the Vegetarian Baby Page 1 of 16 FEEDING THE VEGETARIAN BABY This is a guide for parents who wish to bring their child up on a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet (a diet which includes eggs, milk and milk products). INTRODUCING YOUR BABY TO SOLID FOODS You should start giving your baby solid foods (often called ‘weaning’) when they are around six months old. The latest research from the World Health Organisation shows that before this time your baby, for a variety of reasons is not ready for anything else apart from breast milk or formula milk (see section below on risks of starting early). If you are breast feeding, giving only breast milk up to six months will provide your baby with extra protection against infection. Breastfeeding beyond six months alongside solid foods will continue to protect your baby for as long as you carry on. If you are bottle feeding, you should give your baby infant formula until around six months and continue it afterwards along with solid foods until the baby is a year old. If your baby seems hungrier before the age of six months, give them extra milk feeds. Premature babies may be ready for solids at different times. Ask your Health Professional for advice on what is best for your baby. Your baby is ready if they can: • Stay in a sitting position and hold their head steady • Co-ordinate their eyes, hands and mouth so that they can look at food, pick it up and put it in their mouth all by themselves • Swallow Food.

For a food item to be FLM compatible, it must possess suitable rheological properties to allow for its extrusion and to keep its 3D printed structure. Here, we present a rheological analysis of two commercially available breakfast spreads, Vegemite and Marmite, and show their compatibility with FLM in producing 3D structures onto bread substrates. Furthermore, we demonstrated that these materials can be used to fabricate attractive food designs that can be used for educational activities. The inherent conductivity of the breakfast spreads was used to print edible circuits onto a "breadboard.". Disciplines Engineering | Physical Sciences and Mathematics Publication Details Hamilton, C.
