@TipOfTheBanana I just learned that the Kirkland Whey protein I usually get isn't made anymore because whey prices have risen to a point where Kirkland can't sell at a meaningful discount to the name brands they carry. So they simply stopped making the Kirkland brand. Interesting

@TipOfTheBanana I know somebody who claimed they were negotiating with Costco. I can’t verify the truthfulness of the information, but they claimed that Costco stipulates that their orders from your company do not exceed more than 20% of your total sales.

@TipOfTheBanana If you want a great soy sauce, buy the Haku Mizunara whisky barrel aged shoyu. Made in Japan, low sodium. Wonderful. I bought it from the worst online evil empire. My next option is always the Kikkoman low sodium soy sauce.

@TipOfTheBanana The only brand I trust is Kimlan soy sauce: Kikkoman is too salty and watery. Kimlan has flavor and just right amount of saltiness. https://t.co/FRi7MN9lAI

The soy sauce packet in your takeout bag isn't soy sauce. The biggest maker, Kari-Out in New Jersey, lists water, salt, hydrolyzed soy and corn protein, caramel color and sodium benzoate. No fermentation, no brewing. It's made in a couple of days by boiling defatted soy meal in

Kraft removed the artificial dyes from Mac & Cheese in Dec 2015 but didn't tell anyone until March. They swapped Yellow 5 and 6 for paprika, annatto and turmeric and kept shipping the same blue box with a new ingredient list. Something like 50 million boxes went out before anyone

The breast is where the money is. Americans want white meat, so a bird gets cut up and the breasts go out at $3 to $4 a pound, wings at $3 or more, thighs somewhere in between.
By the time the drumsticks hit the tray the bird has already covered the feed, the grower, the plant

Scaling from your kitchen to a manufacturing line is apples and oranges.
Few understand this.
I have an entire team dedicated just to commercializing recipes from the test kitchen to the line.
