Gluten-Free Certification Adds Plant-Based Certification To Meet Consumer Trends

As a BRC Global Standards company, Allergen Control Group (ACG), owners of the Gluten-Free Certification Program (GFCP), are excited to announce the formation of two food-industry stakeholder working groups to support the development and launch of the first internationally recognized and voluntary Plant-Based Certification Program (PBCP). A limited number of seats are still available for participation from key brand owners, grocery retailers and manufacturers. The first face-to-face sessions will be hosted in both North America and Europe, towards the end of February 2019.

With the ever-changing regulatory landscape, and increased consumer demands, brands and manufacturers are even more challenged when making sound and trustworthy specialty-food product claims. "Although, there appears to be little or no current regulations around these claims, our PBCP will be designed to enable consumers to make safe and informed choices, while also meeting the current and future practical needs of our industry," states Paul Valder, president & CEO at Allergen Control Group.

"The key message for the customer related to our PBCP is to communicate that making a plant-based consumer claim is all about food and diet, where vegan claims are strictly a lifestyle. Consumers today want to incorporate plant-based foods into their diet, but do not consider themselves vegan," explains Katie Daniels, Technical Program Manager at ACG. Ms. Daniels goes on to state that "retailers, brands and manufacturers around the globe can now gain operational and financial efficiencies, by combining their existing annual third-party food safety audit, together with both our gluten-free and plant-based certification programs."
As more and more consumers are incorporating plant-based foods into their diets, they are also increasingly discerning when faced with endless product options. When implemented and verified at the manufacturing stage, the PBCP will then be the trusted "on-pack" trademark/symbol to attract customers, differentiate products, build trusted brand loyalty and protect the brand reputation, associated with making such a claim.

About Allergen Control Group

The Allergen Control Group Inc., (ACG) is a Canadian corporation, operating from Toronto, Canada and is North America's leading subject matter expert in the field of gluten-free, allergens and "free-from" food-safety compliance standards and consumer claims. ACG was acquired in April 2018 by London UK based BRC Global Standards. This acquisition now allows both organizations to provide a broader value proposition when helping customers meet industry's growing and rapidly changing food safety and risk management requirements.

Notes to Editors

About BRC Global Standards

The company was founded in 1996 by retailers who wanted to harmonize food safety standards across the supply chain. Today the company is globally recognized across both food and non-food categories and operate the most rigorous third-party certification scheme of its type, with over 28,000 manufacturing sites.

In 2016 BRC Global Standards was acquired by the LGC Group, the leading international life sciences measurement and testing company. This is the next stage of the strategic transition from being a Standards owner to a brand and consumer protection organization with a range of products and services to help its customers deal with the challenges of producing safe, high quality products for the end consumer on a global basis.

The microbiome is believed to have a profound effect on human health, including synthesizing vitamins, metabolizing nutrients, impacting immune response, and interacting with our hormones.

Given that recent research suggests microbes influence body systems and various health conditions, understanding and further manipulating these interactions may allow for better management and treatment of conditions.

"The microbiome is one of the most significant scientific discoveries of our age, regarded as a new organ of the human body, and it is proposed to revolutionize the future of healthcare. As such, the microbiome is of eminent importance to global thought-leaders," Dr. Jessica Richman, PhD, co-founder and CEO of uBiome, said. "uBiome is honored to contribute cutting-edge insights to initiatives and world-critical discussions at the Annual Meeting by sponsoring the first Microbiome Conference at WEF."

Space Probe Delivers ‘A Message from the Neighbours’ in New Science Fiction Novella

Earth's radio telescopes detect a message from intelligent life, in Vincent J. Hyde's new science fiction, "A Message from the Neighbours" (published by Balboa Press). As a spaceship approaches, Director of Space Research Joseph Samuels wonders: are these aliens friend or foe? The book is available for purchase at: https://www.amazon.com/Message-Neighbours-Vincent-J-Hyde-ebook/dp/B07JYL8DC6.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/netnumber-expands-number-portability.html

A space probe from another galaxy is heading toward the Earth's solar system. Two unarmed astronauts are sent to intercept the space probe one light year from the solar system. When the space probe connects with the shuttle, the space probe's occupant, a robot called Interface, gives the astronauts a visual recording that he explains is the "Message from the Neighbours." Once the astronauts return to Earth, the message plays. It turns out that the message, delivered by Interface's image, is a description of the status of the neighbours star system some 300,000 years ago. Read this for more information.

Hyde hopes that his book pushes readers to consider that "Intelligent life elsewhere in the universe may not necessarily be aggressive and violent if one believes in a Creator."

SeaMakers & Co. Announces Launches of New Soothing Bath Soak, Himalayan Rose

seamakersco.com [SeaMakers & Co. __title__ ] in La Jolla, CA - a one-stop destination for natural beauty brands – has announced the launch of its own blend of Soaking Salts - Himalayan Rose Bath Soak.

The heavenly blend of Himalayan, Dead Sea and Epsom Salts is formulated to help soothe sore muscles and tired minds. The mineral- and nutrient-rich salts will calm and detoxify the body, while the light floral scents of Rose and Ylang Yang will relax the mind.

Priced at $20 for a 8oz jar, the Bath Soak is now available in-store or online at https://seamakersco.com

SeaMakers' mission is to bring the best in toxin- and cruelty-free beauty and lifestyle products, services and education to its local and online community. Founding owner, Mary Beltrante, is a Clean Beauty expert and personally selects and carries the best-known Clean Beauty brands in the industry. Mary opened the store because she is deeply passionate about making non-toxic, natural and sustainably-made products more accessible. She has learned through personal experiences and research that the personal care industry is massively unregulated—which means that companies are essentially free to do whatever they want, with no government oversight - packing products that we use every day (mascara, face wash, shampoo) with toxic ingredients, including known carcinogens and endocrine disruptors.

SeaMakers is playing an integral part in the clean beauty movement, creating a new standard of beauty that it simply calls "clean," which customers see in action in the products the store carries. Clean, for SeaMakers means a non-toxic product that is made without a long, ever-evolving list of ingredients linked to harmful health effects from hormone disruption, to cancer, to plain-old skin irritation. To name just a few: parabens, phthalates, PEGs, ethanolamines, chemical sunscreens, synthetic fragrance, BHT, BHA. More info here.

Russian Lessons Score Top Marks from TopConsumerReviews.com

TopConsumerReviews.com recently gave their best-in-class 5 star rating to Russian Accelerator for its online lesson platform to learn the Russian language.

From the former nations of the USSR, to business professionals who work overseas, there are over 270 million people worldwide who speak Russian. As a priority target language for the US State Department, NSA, CIA, and other federal agencies, Russian continues to grow in popularity as a field of study. However, unlike Spanish, French, and Chinese, the Russian language isn't frequently offered by immersion-based elementary schools or high schools, and it can be hard to find at smaller community colleges or universities. For this reason, many eager students turn to the internet to find Russian lessons, connecting with native speakers and accessing programs that allow them to learn whenever and wherever convenient without the limitations of a traditional classroom setting or schedule.

Read all the latest news.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/pixel-film-studios-announces-transzoom.html

"Russian Accelerator succeeds where other language programs fail," stated Brian Dolezal of TopConsumerReviews.com, LLC. "You won't find any other provider of Russian lessons that focuses strictly on the Russian language. This means that Russian Accelerator uses teaching methods that are custom-designed to be effective specifically for that language in just 20-30 minutes each day. We're impressed that their program includes contextual learning, a variety of native speakers, and even a full year of coaching with actual speakers of Russian. Although Russian Accelerator costs more than some Russian lessons, their 1-year satisfaction guarantee ensures that you'll love your progress or you can get your money back. Students rave about their increased fluency when using this language instruction - and about how enjoyable the learning process is. For all of these reasons, Russian Accelerator takes our first-place spot among providers of Russian lessons in 2018."
