I’m Casey Flanagan with ProFood World, and here are three topics you don’t want to miss for this week.

First, we covered how a leading U.S. pork processor installed an integrated pork belly processing line from Grote Company and PFI, for a lower footprint, simplified, and sanitation-focused solution.

Next, major protein producer Tyson Foods has ended operations at a Nebraska beef facility and reduced shifts at a Texas beef facility. Find out what this means for the employees at both plants and for beef processing nationwide.

And finally, PACK EXPO East is just around the corner, February 17-19. Check out all the new and notable show features at ProFood World, from the Containers and Materials Pavilion to the SMB FastTrack program for small and medium-sized businesses.
