TransFair USA plans to certify other imported foodstuffs, including chocolate, tea and bananas, as is done in Europe...
...need to test [the new glues] in the R&D facility and then in the [manufacturing] plants." In all, the intellectual assembly line will move from CEO to management consultant to purchasing analyst to materials buyer to development tester to factory overseer before the new process for gluing the label to the bottle is complete. It is exceedingly unlikely that any of the 423-million-gallon daily drinkers will notice a thing...
