"Computerized benchtop equipment is great for

engineer and founder of Innoquest Inc.,
Woodstock, Ill., but the time lag between the
lab and the loading dock can be too great.

Edible oils and margarine are placed in a
hardening room after processing, and when
consistency is in spec, pallets are released.
Sometimes, there will be an area on the pallet
where product is out of spec.
Testing with a consistometer identifies where that
area is and allows processors to optimize storage
time. Ice cream, whipped toppings and specialty
dough are among the semi-hard foods Hughes
believes could benefit from his inspection tool.

Of all functions in the food industry, Quality
Assurance (QA) requires many diverse technical
and analytical skills. QA personnel continually
monitor incoming raw milk and finished milk
products to insure compliance with compositional
standards, microbiological standards, and various
government regulations. A QA manager can halt
production, refuse acceptance of raw material, or
stop the shipment if specifications for a product or
process are not met. This department does not

FOOD PACKAGING
From gourds to sea shells to animal skin. Later came
pottery, cloth and wooden containers. These packages
were created to facilitate transportation and trade.
Utilizing modern technology, todays society has
created an overwhelming number of new packages
containing a multitude of food products. A modern
food package has many functions, its main purpose
being to physically protect the product during
transport. The package also acts as a barrier against
potential spoilage agents, which vary with the food
product. For example, milk is sensitive to light;
therefore, a package that provides a light barrier is
necessary. The milk carton is ideal for that. Other
foods like potato chips are sensitive to air because the

In September and October, the Russian Federal Service for
Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing
(Rospotrebnadzor) imposed various temporary restrictions
on the import of foods not affected by the governmental
ban. This includes a prohibition on the import of various
meat by-products from the EU, meat from Moldova (in
addition to the already restricted importation of fruits from
Moldova) as well as nearly all foods from the Ukraine.
These temporary restrictions were imposed due to alleged
violations of Russian consumer-protection legislation and
product safety law.
While legally the Rospotrebnadzors restrictions are
unrelated to the governmental anti-sanctions agricultural
ban, the timing of these new restrictive measures puts
additional pressure on agricultural businesses in the EU,
Moldova and the Ukraine.
Following Russias import ban of EU agricultural products,
the EU established a task force of Commission experts to
assess the situation from both the European perspective
and international markets for each product covered by the
Russian sanctions. Dacian Ciolo, the EU Commissioner
for Agriculture and Rural Development made a number of
statements regarding the import ban and has confirmed that
the EU is working closely with Member States to monitor
market prices for every product in every Member State
each week.

Impact of the export restrictions
In general, it is expected that the EU will be the
region which is most affected by the targeted
restrictions as 73 per cent of the banned imports come
from the EU. This is unsurprising given that the EU
represents the vast majority of Russias total imports
from the countries impacted by the sanctions. Within
the EU, it is expected that Germany, Spain and Poland
will be the countries most affected by the ban.
In 2013, total EU agricultural exports to Russia were
worth 11.3 billion. The estimated value of exports
affected by the ban in the EU is 5.1 billion or 45% of
the total. Some food sectors will be affected more by
the measures than others, most notably the dairy and
fisheries sectors. Last year, these exports to Russia were
worth 2.3 billion and 199 million respectively.
