Need a few pointers on selecting shelving? Know your measurements before you start. How wide is the area for which you need shelving? How high do you need the shelving system to stand? How deep do you need the shelves to be? Do you need casters? If adding casters, this will add a minimum of 5" to the height of your shelving system. Where is the shelving going?

Understandably, my nearly 350 clients sickened by Daily Harvest French Lentil + Leek Crumbles (and possibly additional products) are frightened and angered by the lack of information about the contaminant in the tara, that according the the FDA, has hospitalized over 100 with symptoms consistent with acute liver failure. Dozens of people have had their gall bladders removed, as well as several with liver biopsies.

I had the honor of representing Food Recovery Network at two events on Capitol Hill last month. On Tuesday, July 12, WW , Bread for the World and FoodTank (on whose Board I proudly sit) hosted an all-day event to gain momentum behind the Food Donation Improvement Act. On Wednesday, July 13, I sat on a panel hosted by Harvard Food Law and Policy Clinic to discuss why it is critical for young people to be represented in the 2023 Farm Bill.

Nearly a month ago I urged the FDA to follow Frank Sinatra’s advice to “float down to Peru.” I do not know if the FDA has, but they long ago should have. As you know, I have sued Daily Harvest , and after asking who manufactured the French Lentil + Leek Crumbles, and being rebuffed, I was able to determine that the manufacturer was Stone Gate , and they were brought into the litigation.

Restaurants must keep innovating to elevate the diner experience. It’s a tough time to be in the restaurant business. Food prices are soaring amidst supply chain disruptions, increasing labor costs, and processing plant shutdowns. Poultry prices are up 15 percent to 18 percent ; the cost of eggs has risen 73 percent. The food service industry is scrambling to keep up with these new costs, pushing the price of a restaurant meal to a 40-year high.

At some point in the not too distant future through the process of litigation, Daily Harvest, Stone Gate and Revive will be forced to both tell me the source of the Tara (and why they used it) and to provide samples to test. It does beg the question as to why they will not willingly provide the information and the samples now? Through a private lab, we have been testing dozens of French Lentil + Leek Crumbles and Pineapple and Mango Smoothie samples – as has the FDA and presumably Daily Harvest

Building and maintaining a successful restaurant business isn’t easy. There are a thousand tasks in every day, and very few are planned.

Customers come in many forms, so often the focus is on new customers, but the reality is that repeat, loyal customers are really the starting point.
