Sealed Air’s Cryovac Brand Hosts Poultry 101 At Packforum Americas Facility

ATLANTA In the two days preceding the 2010 International Poultry Expo in
Atlanta, Sealed Air’s Cryovac brand invited customers and supply partners to
attend the Poultry 101 training event at the company’s Packforum Americas
innovation center, located minutes from Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Airport.

Attendees of the two-day training course sat in on presentations about the
poultry processing industry and its technology, and participated in hands-on
demonstrations. Speakers included Shelly McKee, Ph.D., Auburn University, Casey
M. Owens, Ph.D., University of Arkansas, William Roenigk, senior vice president
and chief economist, National Chicken Council and Christophe Gottar, retail and
marketing director, Cryovac Food Solutions Europe.

For the past five years, the Cryovac brand has been a proud sponsor of Poultry
101, said Jim Belcher, marketing director for Sealed Air’s Cryovac food
solutions. We wanted this event to serve as an opportunity for participants to
learn more about the processing and production factors that affect the final
product quality, consistency and safety of poultry.

Presentation topics included poultry processing and deboning activity, life
production, conversion of muscle to meat, poultry meat quality, marination, food
safety, global poultry packaging and cook-in technologies. Attendees also
participated in hands-on demonstrations including chicken deboning.

This was the first year that Sealed Air’s Cryovac brand hosted Poultry 101 at
Packforum Americas. Designed as a dynamic innovation and learning center, the
28,000- square-foot Packforum Americas is a permanent customer forum that
brings the food processing, supermarket and foodservice industries together to
experience the full global range of Cryovac food packaging systems, programs
and services.
