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

First, we took a deep dive into how ammonia, CO2, and nitrogen are reshaping food and beverage cooling. The piece covers why cooling and freezing practices are changing, and the benefits and considerations of each cooling option.

Next, a whey protein shortage is pushing processors toward alternative options, according to a report from the Financial Post. Some processors are looking toward alternatives like milk protein concentrate, soy, and pea proteins.

And finally, in a two-part episode of the Through the Line podcast, we sat down with leaders from Custom Flavors and design-build firm A M King to discuss Custom Flavors’ expansion in Concord, North Carolina. The conversation covers how the two collaborated to turn the existing facility into a future-ready plant.
