Thanks for joining us for another episode of SNEED-CAST; the show where we’re keeping you up to date with the ever changing world of manufacturing, processing, packaging, coding and so much more. Today we’ll be discussing topics ranging from the possible implementation of 200% retaliatory tariffs, the impact of Trump’s trade war on Kentucky’s bourbon industry, recent convictions for pandemic-era food fraud, and a lawsuit against canned tuna producer Bumble Bee over labor abuse allegations. We’ll also discuss the USDA’s decision to end a program connecting farms with schools and its suspension of food deliveries to food banks. Stay tuned for an in-depth look at these pressing issues.
