Are you ready? The Food Export Association of the Midwest USA (Food Export-Midwest) and Food Export USA-Northeast (Food Export-Northeast) help small food and agricultural compa- nies export their products and support them on their way to becoming global brands. Through a custom, three-tiered approach of exporter education and out- reach, market entry and market promo- tion, more and more small companies are discovering the benefits of exporting. Food Export-Midwest and Food Export-Northeast are two of four U.S. State Regional Trade Groups. These non- profit organizations partner with state agricultural promotion agencies and use federal, state and industry resources to help U.S. suppliers increase sales over- seas. Services they provide are funded through the Market Access Program, administered by the Foreign Agricultural Service of the United States Department of Agriculture. "Every day we help companies across a 22 state region in the Midwest and Northeast learn about the value of exporting, enter new markets and remain successful in those markets. Through Food Export-Midwest in Chicago and Food Export- Northeast in Philadelphia, and our extensive network of partners and In-Market Representatives around the globe, we provide cost-effective services to help companies increase sales and expand internationally," states Tim Hamilton, Executive Director of Food Export- Midwest and Food Export-Northeast. "The majority of companies we assist are small, in many cases family-owned, and NEW CDN THERMOMETER & TIMER DESIGNED FOR DIGITAL SAVVY FOODSERVICE OPERATIONS CDN presents its new Bluetooth ® Dual Probe Thermometer & Timer (BT482). Designed to link to mobile iOS and Android devices via an exclusive CDN app, it provides the convenience of remote control and monitoring of cook- ing times, temperatures and more. The CDN app uses Bluetooth Smart (Bluetooth 4.0) and is compatible with iOS 7.0 or later (iPhone or iPad) and Android 4.3 or higher. The new app comes with a suite of robust features to store cooking history, images and notes. There is an option to share cooking creations and information through email for staff training and qual- ity control – or through social networks for marketing outreach to publicize your restaurant and its favorite dishes. Users can also personalize their experience by selecting from a menu of 15 distinct and five customizable sounds for alerts and alarms. This is one of multiple technological advancements that make this model stand out. This is the first model in the CDN line with two 304 stainless steel probes, for monitoring the temperature of a roast or bird in two places at once. The probes are waterproof, allowing for use in brewing processes. Those who smoke meats have the option of using one probe for the meat and the other for air temperature, for best culinary results. Cooking progress is displayed on the device and remotely using the app. This is also the first CDN model C o ntinued o n P age 1 2 5 C o ntinued o n P age 1 2 5
