NEW YORK, May 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

Meat, Poultry & Seafood Packaging Market

http://www.reportlinker.com/p060997/Meat-Poultry–Seafood-Packaging-Market.html

Case-ready packaging, rising exports to fuel gains

US demand for meat, poultry and seafood packaging will increase 3.0 percent per annum to $9.2 billion in 2015. Gains will be fueled by expanding meat, poultry and seafood production, as well as increasing export opportunities to countries such as Japan and Chile. Packaging demand will also be stimulated by the ongoing shift to case-ready packaging by many retailers as a means of reducing in-store labor costs. Case-ready packaging generally uses more expensive trays and high barrier films, thus bolstering value gains. Packaging demand will also be aided by the increasing incorporation of value added features such as zipper closures; the expanding number of meat and poultry items in smaller, more convenient sizes; and the growing range of products that are further processed. Many such products, which are favored by consumers for their easy preparation and storage capabilities, tend to use more packaging relative to their volume than larger unprocessed items. Value gains will be limited by a moderation in prices of such raw materials as paper and metal.

Flexible packaging to outpace rigid packaging

Flexible packaging demand will continue to outpace rigid packaging, increasing at a 3.7 percent annual rate to $3.7 billion in 2015. Gains will be bolstered by good opportunities for high barrier film and pouches. Demand for high barrier film will benefit from a favorable outlook for case-ready packaging, which requires value-added materials to prolong shelf life and protect contents during shipping and handling. Pouch demand will be driven by further inroads by retort pouches into traditional can applications and healthy gains for stand-up pouches in frozen meat, poultry and seafood applications stemming from pouches’ enhanced visual appeal, reseal ability and ability to be stored vertically in freezer cases. Below-average growth in rigid packaging will reflect maturity in the large corrugated box segment and minimal advances for metal cans. However, plastic containers and trays will post robust gains. Demand for plastic containers will be driven by heightened demand for prepared meat and poultry items in supermarkets and other retail locations as a result of consumer preference for convenience foods that require little or no preparation. Tray demand will be aided by the growing use of case-ready packaging, which often employs larger foam or more costly rigid barrier trays. Increasing use of more expensive biodegradable trays will also stimulate value gains. Demand for packaging accessories will benefit from regulations requiring nutrition information and country-of-origin labels on a variety of meat and poultry items.

Ready-to-eat market to post fastest growth

The ready-to-eat market will log the fastest increases, driven by the growing range of prepared foods in the retail sector. Demand in the fresh and frozen market will be supported by the rising presence of case-ready and modified atmosphere packaging to extend the shelf life of fresh meat, poultry and seafood. In the processed market, demand will be helped by the continued popularity of resealable plastic tubs for sliced lunch meats.

Study coverage

This report presents historical demand data (2000, 2005 and 2010) plus forecasts for 2015 and 2020 by packaging product (e.g., boxes, film, bags), application and market (fresh and frozen, processed, ready-to-eat).

Poultry Processor Gets 20% More Shelf Life Using CO2 Fresh-Pads Food Safety and Preservation Technology Products
Proven CO2 Generating Fresh-Pads Used in Meat and Produce Industries Have Now Been Tested and Implemented in Large Production Poultry Processing Plants in Colorado and Arizona, Providing a Low Cost Solution for Extending Shelf Life.

Denver, Colorado (PRWEB) May 29, 2011

JS Food Brokers LLC, offers CO2 Fresh-Pads to meat, poultry, seafood and produce processors to extend the shelf life of perishable food products. As master broker and marketing arm for CO2 Fresh-Pads patent holder CO2 Technologies Inc., JSFB has signed on several large poultry processors to test the CO2 pads in a production environment, the goal being to gain additional shelf life without using expensive equipment, chemicals or any process that directly alters the food itself.

“While top food industry economists are saying, ‘It’s going to be a tough year,’ for consumers, livestock producers are getting slammed with higher feed prices. One of our biggest selling points right now is the positive return on investment meat and poultry processors are getting because of the additional shelf life and the ability to offer a higher quality product.” – Steve Josephs, CEO, JS Food Brokers LLC

Shamrock Foods, in Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico, offers one of the top premium brands of fresh 100% natural chicken. With an extended shelf life beyond what is standard for commodity chicken, Shamrock is setting the standard for all “natural” poultry in the foodservice industry.

“Our new ‘Regal Crest Farms’ 100% all natural chicken requires the highest standard of quality for taste, flavor and tenderness. Using the CO2 Fresh-Pads helps our Regal Crest brand maintain that high standard for longer shelf life with less shrink, to meet our customers demand for excellence.” – Mike Brown, Manufacturing Division Consultant, Shamrock Foods

Fresh-Pads use a unique CO2 generating technology incorporated in a physical pad that modifies the atmosphere surrounding perishable food for an extended period of time. The results include less purge, longer shelf life, and improved texture, color and smell, thereby improving the marketability of the food.

CO2 Fresh-Pads gradually generate carbon dioxide, a natural atmospheric gas, in a controlled manner to retard bacteria growth from 20%-50% on perishable foods, significantly reducing purge and spoilage to provide safer fresher food. With the government’s new Food Safety requirements for food processors, the addition of a product that’s proven to reduce bacteria growth in fresh meat, poultry and seafood can be a real benefit.

In contrast to other food preservation technologies, CO2 pads provide an all-natural solution without resorting to the use of expensive equipment, chemicals, preservatives or high heat processes that can affect the integrity of the product or add substances that today’s consumers find undesirable.

For a free trial program or more information about CO2 Fresh-Pads or to contact JS Food Brokers LLC, please call 720-475-0330 or email info(at)jsfoodbrokers(dot)com or visit http://www.CO2Pads.com.

Anchovy Distribution
They are found in scattered areas throughout the world’s oceans, but are concentrated in temperate waters, and are rare or absent in very cold or very warm seas. They are generally very accepting of a wide range of temperatures and salinity. Large schools can be found in shallow, brackish areas with muddy bottoms, as in estuaries and bays. Anchovies are abundant in the Mediterranean, and are regularly caught on the coasts of Sicily, Italy, France, Turkey and Spain. They are also found on the coast of northern Africa. The range of the species also extends along the Atlantic coast of Europe to the south of Norway. Spawning occurs between October and March, but not in water colder than 12°C (53.6°F). The anchovy appears to spawn at least 100 kilometers (62 miles) from the shore, near the surface of the water.

Two Boston Family Brands Come Together to Promote Premium Seafood and New Traceability of Product

TAUNTON, MA, Mar 29, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) — New England Wholesale food distributor AGAR, product specialist for independent restaurants, retailers and other food service operators, has announced that Nor’Easter Seafood based in Boston will be one of the leading suppliers of seafood products marketed under the Nautifish Brand. The brand will also utilize new proprietary methods to help with the traceability and accountability of all fresh seafood under this brand name, not seen in this region.

Nor’Easter, a division of Legal Sea Foods, will supply AGAR a whole host of fresh seafood products including Haddock, Cod, Salmon, Tuna and more. Nor’Easter will be the exclusive packer of fresh seafood products under the Nautifish brand for both fresh seafood fillets and portion-controlled product.

One very important aspect of this new partnership is the ability to trace any product produced under this brand. With the use of labeling, restaurant operators or anyone in the foodservice industry can find out when the seafood was caught, who caught the product, what region it was caught in and when the seafood was prepared for packaging. That coupled with AGAR’s Cold Chain Process make this one of the most stringent processes in the seafood industry today.

“I’m very pleased to be partnering with AGAR, a company that shares our high standards, to bring the freshest, highest quality fish to market,” stated Roger Berkowitz, president and CEO of Nor’Easter Seafoods. “We are a seafood company, first and foremost, and a Nor’Easter / AGAR partnership enables us to positively impact a much broader guest experience.”

With the recent focus on seafood labeling, packaging and overall quality especially in Massachusetts, this new traceable technology brings very good news to the restaurant operator and ultimately the consumer at the table. As AGAR moves millions of pounds of seafood each year through their Taunton, MA facility, traceability is an important focus for this brand.

“Our two families have a long-standing history in providing quality seafood to consumers in New England,” states Karen S. Bressler, CEO of AGAR. “By partnering with Nor’Easter and the reputation of their parent company, Legal Sea Foods, we have once again showed our commitment to providing the best in seafood to restaurants around this region and their customers. And with traceability a mainstay of this brand, more operators will have the confidence to share these products with their customers.”

The Nautifish brand was developed in 2009 to not only offer fresh, quality seafood products to New England restaurants and food retailers, but to help foster a greater awareness of the sustainability issues that affect our oceans. Nautifish seafood offers some of the best handpicked, high-quality seafood in the region and is featured in many independent restaurants and retailers. Nautifish products are delivered in recyclable or reusable packaging and any marketing products produced are made of sustainable materials. Partnering with Nor’Easter only furthers this commitment to the end user.

About AGAR: AGAR Supply Co., Inc., based in Taunton, Massachusetts is New England’s largest independent food distributor and the thirteenth largest in the United States. AGAR offers a wide range of solutions for the food service industry. The company is New England’s premier supplier of meats, poultry, seafood and grocery items as well as dairy products, non-perishables, non food items, janitorial supplies and small wares. AGAR distributes popular national brands along with being the exclusive distributor of the Nautifish Seafood brand and the portion cut marinated meats and poultry brand Bullpen.

For Immediate Release: Contact: Michael Drewniak
Kevin Roberts
Date: 06/30/2011 609-777-2600
Trenton, NJ – First Lady Mary Pat Christie declared Scott Anderson of elements in Princeton the winner of the 2011 Jersey Seafood Challenge for his signature dish that featured fluke with garlic scapes, panko, arrowhead cabbage and herbaceous vinaigrette. As the champion, Anderson will represent New Jersey at the Great American Seafood Cook-off in New Orleans in August. Today’s competition was held in the gardens at Drumthwacket.

“New Jersey has a vibrant and thriving seafood industry,” said Mrs. Christie. “These talented chefs prepared an outstanding lineup of dishes that demonstrated the superior quality of our bountiful Jersey Seafood and Jersey Fresh produce. Thanks to all sixteen competitors and the restaurants they represent for participating today and congratulations to Scott Anderson. I am confident he will showcase our Jersey pride representing the Garden State in New Orleans later this summer.”

A native of the Garden State, Scott Anderson spent part of his youth in Japan where the exposure to foreign tastes and flavors left a lasting impact. He began his career as a line cook at Baystreet Grill in Edison and later joined the Terra Momo restaurant group. There, he spent six years at Teresa Caffe before becoming head chef at Mediterra in Princeton, and later at Nova Terra in New Brunswick. He has also worked at The Ryland Inn with Chef Craig Shelton. In October 2008, he opened elements. Relying on the seasons, the inspiration and the bounty of the farm, Chef Anderson continually improvises when creating a menu.

“At elements, we think of our dishes as canvases and paint what feels right, while staying grounded in the essence of the ingredients,” said Chef Anderson. “So, I am looking forward to the competition in New Orleans and being inspired by the diverse, local ingredients to create a new experience.”

Other chefs who participated in the cook-off sponsored by the New Jersey Department of Agriculture included: Christopher Albrecht, Eno Terra and Enoteca, Kingston; Mitchell Altholz, Highlawn Pavilion, West Orange; Michael John Chu, Mehtani Restaurant Group, Morristown; Chris Curado, Chakra Restaurant, Paramus; Kevin Guinta, Plate American Café, Trump Taj Mahal, Atlantic City; Demetrios Haronis, Fin (Tropicana Hotel Casino), Atlantic City; Michael Inferrera, Mia (Caesar’s Hotel and Casino), Atlantic City; J. Geoffrey Johnson, Copper Fish on Broadway, West Cape May; Sofia Karakasidou, Kuzina by Sofia, Cherry Hill; Jack Koumbis, Assembly Steak House and Seafood Grill, Englewood Cliffs; James Laird, Restaurant Serenade, Chatham; Will Mooney, The Brothers Moon Restaurant, Hopewell; Elizabeth Penn, Student Chef, Academy of Culinary Arts, Atlantic-Cape Community College, Mays Landing; David Suscavage, The Foundation Room (Showboat Hotel and Casino), Atlantic City and Kevin Taylor, Los Amigos Restaurant, West Berlin. Second-runner up in the competition was Christopher Albrecht of Eno Terra in Kingston; third runner up was Kevin Guinta of Plate American Cafe at Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City and fourth runner up was Kevin Taylor of Los Amigos Restaurant in West Berlin.

The Great American Seafood Cook-off is limited to 20 chefs with the champion being named King or Queen of American Seafood. The cook-off is televised by the Food Network and is part of the Louisiana Foodservice Expo.

“Consumers are demanding local and we are proud to partner with our state’s chefs and restaurants to serve dishes featuring top quality seafood, vegetables, fruits and herbs caught or grown by our New Jersey fishermen or farmers,” said New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Douglas H. Fisher. “Eating Jersey Seafood provides many health benefits and there is a great variety, with 100 different species of fish and shellfish caught or harvested by local fishermen and fish farmers. We hope all residents will be inspired to cook Jersey Seafood along with Jersey Fresh produce or head to a local restaurant and ask for these local varieties from the Garden State.”

Judging the competition were First Lady Mary Pat Christie; Secretary of Agriculture Douglas H.

New Jersey’s seafood industry positively impacts the Garden State economy in many ways. For instance, in 2008, combined sales from commercial harvesters, seafood processors and dealers, seafood wholesalers and distributors and the retail sector added up to more than $2 billion. The industry also generates more than 40,000 jobs, with 2,000 commercial fishermen, and 1,380 employed by seafood processors/dealers; 4,176 by seafood wholesalers/distributors; and 32,426 by the retail sector.

Home to six major fishing ports, New Jersey fishermen reeled in 161.6 million pounds of seafood in 2009, valued at more than $149 million at all port combined. Four ports rank among the top 15 ports on the Eastern Seaboard – Cape May (3rd), Atlantic City (9th), Barnegat Light (10th) and Point Pleasant (11th). And, Cape May is the fifth largest port in the nation, hauling in 63.9 million pounds of seafood valued at $73.4 million.

New Jersey fishermen land more than 100 varieties of finfish and shellfish. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) ranked the state first in the nation for pounds of shellfish landed in 2009, with $28.3 million pounds valued at $8.1 million. The state also ranked first in the landings of clams or bivalves, with 45.3 million pounds worth $27.5 million. In 2009, New Jersey ranked second in the nation in scallop landings with 14 million pounds valued at $90.1 million.
