Food Magic Daily 3 5 Wednesday, June 28, 2017 COLOR IT, TEXTURE IT, SHAPE IT, TASTE IT – MAKE IT EXTRAORDINARY Formulated with professional chefs in mind, Mona Lisa's premium rolled fon- dant makes it a breeze to create colorful masterpieces. Made with high-quality, flavorful ingredients, the fondant com- plements and enhances the flavors in your desserts while adding visual piz- zazz. It can be transformed into a wide variety of shapes and sizes, in original white or chocolate, or even tinted to make your own signature colors. Extended Workability Premium ingredients and unique formu- lation keep the rolled fondant pliable longer, allowing for extended working time with no cracking or tearing, even on shaped cakes. Bright and Colorful Quality ingredients deliver bright white color without the use of the food color additive titanium dioxide, and the chocolate fondant is deep, rich brown. Stands Up to the Elements When exposed to excessively humid or dry conditions, the fondant stands its ground and does not become sticky, tacky or dry. v Protective Packaging Vacuum-sealed protection prevents the fondant from drying out on the edges and top, making the fon- dant 100 percent usable with no waste from unopened pails.

FLAX4LIFE GOING STRONG FOR OVER 15 YEARS By Kasondra Shippen, General Manager Flax4Life's bakery is a dedicated gluten- free, dairy-free and nut-free (except coconut) facility. We strive to make deli- cious, better for you baked goods. All items are flax-based and loaded with Omega-3s, fiber, protein, lignans and made from the highest quality ingredi- ents. Flax4Life bakes brownies, muffins, granolas, cakes and buns for retail stores and has recently launched into foodser- vice. You will soon be able to find Flax4Life products on airlines, cruise ships, in college stores and many more locations. We will also be launching a few new items that should be ready for the marketplace in early 2018, such as take n' bake items. Flax4Life is a family- owned and operated busi- ness that has been going strong for over 15 years. Our family has been in the bakery industry for four generations. In the mid '90s, a few of our family members became really ill and they each had different symptoms. For a few it was bowel and stomach problems, and for another the symptoms were so bad they could hardly walk. After a few years of being taken to doc- tors all over the country, the Mayo Clinic finally diagnosed our family members with Celiac disease. It was at this point we really start- ed taking a harder look at the things we were put- ting into our body. We knew that one of the most important things was that the product needed to taste good and the second was that it needed to be good for you! Flax4Life was born shortly after.

SAVE ENERGY, REDUCE DEFROST CYCLES WITH INTERMATIC'S NEW ICUBE Intermatic has developed the new ICUBE™ Adaptive Defrost Module for commercial refrigeration walk-in freez- ers and coolers. This control provides major energy savings where walk-in freezers and display cases are used, such as in full service, casual and fast food restaurants, healthcare facilities, cafes, convenience stores and supermarkets. It will save customers money by reducing energy usage associated with defrosting walk in coolers and freezer evaporator coils. Foodservice businesses as described previously are always looking for cost effective solutions that can gen- erate energy savings and ultimately save money with a short return on investment. It is an easy, versatile, innovative and affordable way to reduce defrosts cycles by 40 percent or more per day. For retro-fit or new installations, the compact ICUBE module simply assembles direct- ly to an existing or new Grässlin DTAV40 Defrost timer with no change to the timer wiring required. The ICUBE module works with the DTAV40 timer to determine when defrosting a Walk-In Refrigeration system evaporator coil is truly necessary versus a time initiate only approach. The module has four tempera- ture sensor inputs which can accommo- date up to four evaporator coils with wiring capability to extend up to 400 feet for remote condensing unit installations. Typical mounting locations are inside of a remote multiplex or dedicated condens- ing unit, parallel rack system, unit cooler or freezer, or external to the unit cooler or freezer. Typically foodservice owners are forced to utilize this type of intelligent tech- nology at a very high price point and with an overly complicated control. These types of controls can also be very difficult to pro- gram and install, which takes time away from the HVACR tech- nician, and we all know time means money. With the ICUBE, you save time and money by simply installing the Adaptive Defrost Module directly to the existing DTAV40 Defrost timer and run- ning sensing wire from the inputs to the evaporator coils. There is no need to change any other wiring in the system or timer programing. Intermatic provides a unique non-isolated evaporator coil sen- sor with 10 feet of sensor wire and 6 feet of input wire which can be expandable in between up to 400 feet with 20-18ga shielded or unshielded typical field wire for remote condensing unit installations. Intermatic's reasoning for the unique sensor is because it wanted the commer- cial refrigeration techni- cian to have the ability to run this sensing wire through the existing or same conduits/raceways from remote rooftop locations to the box c o o l e r / f r e e z e r . Additionally, with four sensor inputs the ICUBE Adaptive Defrost Module can expand to accommo- date up to four evaporator coils. Commercial refrigeration techni- cians have been using defrost timers for many years. Sometimes newer technolo- gies and changes in energy standards can create unfamiliar complexities and sys- tem reconfiguration. Intermatic provides the technicians with a familiar solution by continued use of the same defrost timer, but with the addition of the energy savings ICUBE technology which will align with upcoming DOE Walk-In- Cooler/Freezer Annual Walk-in Efficiency Factor standards.

NEW ITD FOOD SAFETY SOLUTIONS ARE WORTH THE PEACE OF MIND Food service professionals are more than aware of the increasingly strict regula- tions surrounding food safety require- ments. HACCP protocol is an essential part of day-to-day operations in all food- service facilities. Recently, high-profile food poisoning cases involving major restaurant chains have put increased pressure on food safety inspectors to ensure compliance and on foodservice operators to implement and maintain proper food safety protocol. HACCP Compliance Food safety regulations are intended to keep consumers safe. However, keeping food products safe and food waste to a min- imum is a difficult task that is typically labor intensive and prone to human error. A typical kitchen in a restaurant, school or hospital handwrites over 100 labels and 100 temperatures daily. There is a lot of room for human error, and with roughly 48 million Americans falling victim to food- borne illness every year, a crippling lawsuit or health violation is more likely than one may think. These strict regulations impose hefty costs such as paper, pens, clipboards, ink and handwritten labels. These protocols also drastically increase labor costs and the human error associated with handwriting puts any establishment at an increased risk of a health code violation, compliance issue or legal implication. A New Solution ITD Food Safety is proud to introduce its newest food safety solution, The Prep n Temp Station. The Prep n Temp is your all-in-one solution for HACCP food labels and food temperature manage- ment. Use the fully-loaded and complete- ly customizable station to print prep labels, nutritional labels, ingredient labels, custom labels, coupons and so much more. Its durable thermal printer eliminates the need for ink and can print over 50 labels per minute. The Prep n Temp Station's intelligent handheld ther- mometer delivers lightning fast tempera- tures and customizable options for recording, correcting and displaying tem- peratures. Temperature reports are easy to view, sort and share. ITD has innovat- ed a true "all-in-one" food safety solution that saves time and money in the kitchen, and provides peace of mind. Customer Feedback Mike Leeper, a Dairy Queen operator in Missouri, says: "With all the concerns about critical food violation standards from Corporate and foodborne illness outbreaks at some of our competitors, we must be proactive so that we may protect our cus- tomers and our businesses. Having the Prep n Temp station is an additional line of defense against the cost of a foodborne ill- ness situation, and gives me peace of mind."
