SOLUTIONS FOR FOOD & BEVERAGE

Atwater Commons Dining Hall- Middlebury, VT

As one of the nation’s top liberal arts colleges, Middlebury College in Vermont takes pride in its unique approach and “outward” focus. So it was no surprise that when the college was building a new dining facility for one of its commons areas, it eschewed traditional designs in favor of a building that, in the words of architect Jason Smith of Philadelphia-based KieranTimberlake Associates, “extends the Vermont landscape over the roof.”

Redwood Hill Farm & Creamery-Sebastopol, CA

Quality and sustainability have long been the guiding principles for Jennifer Lynn Bice, CEO and president of Redwood Hill Farm& Creamery of Sebastopol, California. That’s one reason she had a new roof and solar panels installed on almost two acres of roof on the building that houses her business and six other companies, including various wine bottling companies. Unfortunately, the installation done in 2010 offered neither sustainability nor quality.

Tree House Brewing Company- Charlton, MA

Standing in line for hours for one case of canned beer might seem foolish to some people, but to fans of Tree House Brewing – which was recently named one of the country’s Top 15 Craft Breweries by Forbes magazine – it is well worth it. It’s been said that the key to Tree House Brewing’s success is meticulous attention to details such as temperatures, additives and the water used in the brewing. It only made sense that the same attention to detail would be utilized when selecting a roofing system for the new facility.

INSPECTIONS ON THE RISE FOR FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRY

Each year, approximately 48 million Americans are sickened by contaminated food with 128,000 requiring hospitalization and 3,000 of those cases resulting in death. The resulting yearly loss to the food and beverage industry due to foodborne illnesses is estimated at $75 billion. 

 
In an effort to reduce these statistics, Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) was signed. The first significant update to food safety regulations in 70 years. Among the many new changes is a statute that gives the FDA authority to order a recall of food products and will require more frequent inspections at food and beverage producing facilities.
