High quality and a superb finish are the signatures that have built the Jack Daniels brand to the high status it holds today.
It makes no difference if your Jack is straight or with some Coke, when you order Jack Daniels, you know that you are getting a taste of the best.
Share Tweet Pin. Name Email. Now state lawmakers are considering dialing back some of those requirements that they say make it too difficult for craft distilleries to market their spirits as Tennessee whiskey, a distinctive and popular draw in the booming American liquor business.
Diageo picked up on the same theme. The standards and special branding of Tennessee whiskey are an outgrowth of the special designation granted long ago to bourbon. The iconic symbol resembles a brown—up crown cap or cork. As a closure for bottling, it stands for protection and preservation.
Likewise, a crown cap symbolizes power, royalty, and immortality. The frame housing the other design elements is a bottle. The designer gave it a subtle persona by drawing it from the neck to the base. While most bottles come in circles, Jack Daniels favored a squared type. The bottle became handy, easy to distribute, and preserve. Over a period, customers accepted the novel-shaped bottle.
Primarily, the black works as the frame color of the trademark. To some people, it honors the founder who died in Curiously, it was the same year the company launched its black and white label. Black, as a ritual color for Jack Daniels, represents elegance, wealth, and authority. Except for the frame, all the elements in the Jack Daniels emblem are white. The color white symbolizes hygiene, purity, and simplicity.
Again, the hue of heaven stands for loyalty, safety, and purity. I need to state that with a white background, the other elements take on black color. The iconic Old No. The idolized insignia was the district tax identifiable number given to Jack Daniels as a whisky distiller. After modifying the district, the federal government assigned the brand with number Jack kept the old number because it had gained traction with customers.
In those days, distillers promoted their products with numbers and not logos. With new customers in the market, Jack devised a novel strategy to attract them. The first of its kind for the brand was a global marketing campaign to introduce Jack Daniels to the next generation of consumers.
This marketing communication came with a mantra—Make It Count. Make It Count is a way of life. The campaign was intended to drive global brand equity and unify consumers who are still discovering American whiskey. Jasper Newton Daniel was widely known as the founder of Jack Daniels.
He was an American entrepreneur and a liquor specialist. He lost his mother shortly after his delivery. Daniel was the last of ten children born to Calaway and Lucinda Daniel. Some people think he was born in September , while others believe it was January His father married Matilda Vanzant in June They had three children. So, he ran away after his father died in the civil war. Finally, he became an orphan and was raised in a Baptist Church.
As an orphan, Dan Call, a preacher, and distiller took him under his loving arms. Here, Daniel took an interest in the distilling business, and he learned the nuts and bolts of the trade. Dan Call saw potential in Jack, and as a busy man, trusted the running of the business to Jack.
With this backbone, he went into registered business with Dan Call. But not long, Dan Call stepped out for religious reasons. Most choose to test at 5 ppm, Lupo said. And that is a level that can be maintained through good sanitation and allergen programs. International Allergen Threshold Action. FDA Working Group.
Many products flagged as containing allergens may only contain very minute amounts of allergens that may not trigger a reaction in those with food allergies, and it may limit food choices for at-risk populations, according to a panel discussion of food allergy experts at the Institute of Food Technologists IFT annual meeting in June Current FDA regulations require labeling of even trace amounts of a possible allergen, however, scientists have found very few, if any, allergic people would have a reaction to these miniscule amounts.
None reacted at 0. At the session, Steve Gendel, food allergen coordinator for the FDA, said there is a government working group that is gathering data on allergen risks to determine if minimum amounts for labeling should be established.
In the meantime, however, he stressed that full avoidance is the only way to prevent a reaction. European Collaboration. In addition to labeling of allergic foods used as ingredients in food products, consumers need information about the extent of possible cross contamination risks, said a report dated Nov. The development of allergen management thresholds will also help regulators and enforcement bodies assess the risks to public health posed by allergen cross contamination incidents.
With an overall objective to share information and experience within the food industry on the management of food allergens to ensure consumers receive relevant, consistent, and easy to understand information on food allergens, the bureau launched the Voluntary Incidental Trace Allergen Labeling VITAL system in Included in the VITAL program are procedures, calculator, decision tree, grid shown above , protein levels, auditor guide, and the traffic light system illustrated on page So much so that they can be considered moving targets.
In the past, a gluten level of ppm was considered to be safe. Now proposed U. In addition, he said, the effect of an allergen on a sensitive person can be impacted by factors such as the amount of food eaten, other foods eaten, stress the individual is undergoing, and physical or emotional well-being.
Global Challenges. Allergen labeling is further complicated by global variation of foods regulated as allergens, as well as the specified levels—or lack of specification—that requires labeling. Europe, for example, has 14 allergens on its list, adding those such as celery, lupines, and sulfites to the Big 8 of the U.
The reports are expected to include proposed threshold levels based on portion sizes. In Europe, as in the U. With VITAL currently undergoing an update, the grid levels are also expected to be revised this year based on new clinical data, Fielder said.
Allergen Issues. Until threshold levels are set, the only sure way of avoiding a recall for mislabeling is testing as low as possible to label any indication of an allergen. Some of the most common processing challenges and routes of contamination or mislabeling include:.
Manufacturers that produce products with allergen-free claims on the labels will generally test finished product; other manufacturers, Lupo said, are more likely to conduct incoming ingredient, in-process, and environmental tests, rather than finished product. An additional testing challenge is the standardization of calibration methods used by test manufacturers.
For example, when testing for eggs—does this mean chicken eggs? Or other types as well? In a test for tree nuts, which are included? Preventive Controls. Regardless of the challenges, undefined threshold levels, and international variation, food producers should focus on implementing good allergen controls in production, not only to limit recalls but to protect consumers.

If, on the other hand, you implement an effective pest prevention program, the opportunity for pests to come into a protected environment is greatly reduced. The difference between control and prevention of pests is similar to that of any potential food contaminant.
Ten Tips. Whether conducted by in-house staff or an outside service provider, some recommendations for incorporating a preventive program include:. Because of public perception and federal, state, and local regulations, controlling pest birds can present unique challenges. Thus, implementing preventive practices to discourage birds from taking up residence in or around the food plant can be of benefit for both food safety and public relations perspectives.
By maintaining sanitation around your plant, such as keeping trash picked up, lids closed, etc. Once the concern moves into the plant, it is generally more about bird control and removal than about prevention. Generally netting is placed on the girders of a plant because there is a problem with birds nesting in the rafters.
But because the netting takes away that potential harborage area, once it is in place, it becomes preventive. It comes down to analyzing the situation to determine what is needed for success. The geographic area of a plant can have significant impact on pest potential. Thus, prevention can be the seasonal application of a perimeter treatment to keep insects out.
Look for conducive conditions. Pests will enter buildings in search of food, water, or shelter. Thus a preventive program needs to include a complete inspection of both the exterior and interior of the plant for potential entry points and attractants, then taking corrective action to fix these.
Reduce attractants. Controlling a pest problem means finding and eliminating the source—identifying the issue then trailing back to determine its origination, Jarzynka said. In the same way, to prevent pest problems, a plant should inspect for and eliminate all potential sources and attractants. Pay attention to the exterior. Often, companies will take care of the inside of the facility but neglect the outdoors, El Damir said. But if outlying conditions and exterior attractants are reduced, there will be fewer pests around the exterior, thus fewer pests seeking to come into the interior.
