Abstract: A quality control apparatus employed in a production line for sticky products in roll form is effectively positioned following a product rolling operation and functions to assure that adjacent rolled products are not conjoined as the products proceed toward a packaging operation. The separating apparatus includes a holding mechanism and a breaking mechanism. During production of the rolled products, the products are directed to the apparatus whereat any conjoined products are automatically separated, with the holding mechanism maintaining a first one of the conjoined products in a first orientation while the breaking mechanism forces a second one of the conjoined products to be reorientated, basically pivoting the second conjoined product relative to the first product, which results in the conjoined products being broken apart. In one form, the apparatus is positioned to separate conjoined products at a transfer region of the products from an upper conveyor to a lower conveyor.

Abstract: A yogurt core is described that contains yogurt or a yogurt analog, cream cheese or a cream cheese analog, and dairy-derived powder or dairy-free powder. A yogurt core provides a less tart flavor due to a pH above 4.6, yet remains safe over an extended refrigerated shelf life due to a water activity of less than 0.92. A yogurt core can be enrobed to provide a hand-holdable yogurt-containing snack.

Abstract: Baking ingredients that can be used as a fat replacement in dough compositions and baked goods are described. Baking ingredients include a thermo-reversible hydrocolloid and can be included in a dough composition or layered with a laminated dough. The baking ingredients lead to improved flavor, improved appearance, improved texture, and improved lubricity in reduced fat bakery products. Methods of making and using baking ingredients are also described.

Abstract: A food container includes a main plastic body terminating in an upper rim having a ledge portion, a resealable cap configured to seal against the ledge portion when snap-connected to the upper rim and an externally visible tamper indicator integrated into the container body below the upper rim. The cap includes an opening tab which, upon initially opening the container, is lifted to break one or more frangible connections with the tamper indicator. When the food container cap is presented for sale, the tamper indicator is clearly visible to a consumer. When the cap is completely removed, the tamper indicator radially projects from the container body. The cap can be used to selectively reseal the main body upon seating the seal portion on the ledge portion and snap-connecting the cap to the upper rim.

Abstract: A weighing assembly supplies a predetermined amount of food product based on weight using a weighing machine having a plurality of weigh hoppers. A circular dispersion table having a dome shape distributes pieces of the product across the table by gravity to the weigh hoppers. A diverter chute is located above the dispersion table and includes multiple gates, with each gate configured to change a flow of the pieces of product over a portion of the dispersion table. The diverter chute further comprises an actuator for each gate for opening the gate as directed by a controller. Each actuator includes a piston and a lever arm connected to the piston and connected to a respective gate. An input conveyor drops pieces of food through the diversion chute to the dispersion table.

Abstract: A polyethylene cold seal film includes a main body layer constituted by a polyethylene film, a cold seal adhesive externally exposed on one side of the main body layer, and a cold seal release layer externally exposed on an opposing side of the main body layer, with the cold seal release layer also being constituted by a polyethylene film. The film can be advantageously provided in roll form, particularly usable in wrapping food products, with the wrapping being completely and readily recyclable, while being at least essentially void of any polypropylene polymers. The overall film can also have other layers, including a tie layer positioned between the main body layer and the cold seal release layer, a barrier layer positioned between the main body layer and the tie layer; and an ink layer positioned between the tie layer and the cold seal release layer.

Abstract: A hard taco shell, having a plasticizing agent applied to a targeted region of a base or spine portion of the hard taco shell and lower sections of taco shell sidewalls to softening the targeted region such that, when the taco shell is bitten, the softened targeted region has some hinging flexibility or pliability which reduces the potential for any crack propagation, is hermetically sealed in a package body formed from a material establishing a barrier to the transmission of oxygen into an interior of the package body. With this arrangement, premature drying and cracking of the agent treated hard taco shell is prevented.
