We phoned the manufacturers and asked them to ship a new Jesus. They could make no guarantees, but we hoped that his arrival might happen before Christmas Day.

Shokolad Para, which translates as cow chocolate, was introduced in 1933 as Shamnunit but in the 1950s was renamed because of the picture of a cow on its wrapper. Originally only available with milk chocolate, it is now available with everything from nougat to puffed rice to popping candy. The ‘‘Wonder Woman’’ actress Gal Gadot actually brought the popping-candy version on ‘‘The Tonight Show’’ for the host, Jimmy Fallon, to try on air. Shokolad Para is still one of the best-selling candy bars in Israel.

21 Dec 2018 --- Cargill is to sell its stand-alone malt business to Axéréal’s malt subsidiary, Boortmalt, for an undisclosed fee. The transaction involves the global malt business, including 15 facilities across four continents, with a workforce of more than 500 people. Cargill originally entered the malt ingredients space in 1979. It has operated as a stand-alone business within Cargill’s Food Ingredients business portfolio.

Depending on the desired output volume, the film reels can either be changed manually during short machine stops or with the help of a splicer.

Only the fanciest bars are devised by Takagi, made with higher-grade chocolates and other ingredients, like dehydrated seasonal fruits, and sold in Kit Kat Chocolatory stores, the boutique-like shops for luxury versions of the bar. In some cases, they are decorated like plated desserts at a fine-dining restaurant, the Kit Kat logo entirely hidden by tiny, delicate, colorful crunchies, or individually wrapped like a gift — a single Kit Kat finger in a crinkly plastic wrapper, tucked inside a box. After Kohzoh Takaoka, now chief executive of Nestlé Japan, persuaded Takagi to work with the company, Takagi decided he wanted to make the bars more sophisticated, to play with the form and sweetness levels. He wanted, as he put it, to make Kit Kats for grown-ups, like the Chocolatory Sublime Bitter, a long, cigarillo-like bar of 66 percent dark chocolate, packaged in black and gold. (The marketing team uses the word “premiumization” to describe this part of Kit Kat’s strategy.) Now Takagi runs the brand’s Japanese Chocolatory shops, including the one where I met him, in a particularly posh part of the Ginza neighborhood in Tokyo.

White Rabbit candy is famous in China — Premier Zhou Enlai gave Richard Nixon a bag during his historic visit in 1972 — but the wrapper hasn’t always featured the well-known rabbit. The soft, vanilla-and-milk-flavored candy was reportedly first introduced in 1943 with a Mickey Mouse figure on the packaging, but by the late ’50s, candy companies were being nationalized, and Western imagery was a political no-go. In its 75-year history, the candy has become popular around the world. In 2008, when an incident involving melamine-tainted milk shook China, production shut down for several months to ensure the candy was safe to eat, though in Singapore, consumers were told they could eat 47 pieces daily before experiencing ill effects. Ten years later, the company makes the candies with only imported milk powder from New Zealand.

“Precision leads to efficiency, efficiency leads to decreased usage, decreased usage leads to decreased margins or margin compression, and that will lead to companies getting leaner and meaner,” said Underhill.

Tray-sealer sales are a sideline at Teinnovations. Much of the firm’s work involves resolving packaging issues at small and mid-sized food companies. Sealing machines stand out as chronic problems, Tein observes, with seal failures as high as 25 percent when the firm steps in. Simple fixes like metal guides that ensure proper alignment of heater plates have helped manufacturers eliminate 30-min. changeovers “that people think are a necessary evil,” he says.
