In a recent hearing, Jeffrey White, U.S. District Judge of the Northern District of California, upheld a USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) program for pork processing plants that gives plant employees a greater role in the inspection process. The New Swine Slaughter Inspection System, enacted by the agency in late 2019, changed the way pork slaughterhouses run, ruling that pork processing plants’ employees could conduct inspections in the plant, thereby reducing the number of government inspectors needed by as much as 40%.

The plaintiffs in the lawsuit were Food and Water Watch, the Center for Food Safety, and the Humane Farming Association. The lawsuit alleged that NSIS violated the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA). In his ruling, Judge White noted that the inspections by employees did not violate this legislation.

In his ruling, Judge White stated that, although the 2019 final rule permits plant employees to pre-sort animals

“I’ve been using Cambro products for my entire career.” When David Edgar, executive chef of nutrition services at Sacramento City Unified School District, started looking at shelving options for their central kitchen a couple of years ago, he did his due diligence. During the process, he recognized a brand he knew very well.

“I saw the Camshelving®, and I really liked it. I liked the fact that the shelves come apart and they’re super easy to clean and very easy to assemble, so much easier than the old school metal ones,” said Edgar. “When it came time to pick out shelving for the kitchen, knowing that we were going to need probably literally a ton of it, I was like, ‘Well, it has to be the Camshelving because we need to be able to easily clean the shelves’.”

Thomas Lucero, executive chef of SCUSD’s central kitchen, said he

Food truck operators in Houston are on edge as police look for a shotgun-wielding robber who has already hit a dozen businesses. 

The man, caught on surveillance cameras, allegedly started his robbing spree on Aug. 9.

“He pointed the gun, a shotgun, at my employee,” Rolando Hernandez, owner of El De La Barbacoa told FOX 26 Houston. “It’s a very powerful gun. We’re blessed he didn’t shoot.”

The Houston Police department said that around 10:30 a.m. Aug. 13 food truck workers located at the 600 block of West Gulf Bank stated they heard a gunshot before an unknown man walked into the truck with a shotgun while demanding money from the cash register. 

The workers complied and gave the suspect cash. The suspect then took off in an unknown direction. 

The suspect is described as a Hispanic male between 18 to 24 years old. He is armed with a black,

A letter of gratitude, often known as a thank you letter, is written when an individual or a group wants to show their appreciation. When the recipient is a friend, acquaintance, or relative, thank-you letters can be written by hand for added emphasis.

As an example from my own life, I donated to a political campaign earlier this year. Two weeks after my contribution, I walked to my mailbox and found a letter in the mail. I opened the envelope and found a short handwritten note from the candidate expressing gratitude to the donation. Speaking from experience, I found the note written in pen to be a nice gesture.

Here are some non-awkward thank you letter examples you can use to send to different people and occasions as well.

Thinking about opening an H&R Block franchise and wondering how much it might cost? I break down all the costs in this review and provide a warning about the tax preparation industry as a whole.

One thing you need to understand is H&R Block is moving into the DIY tax software industry, which will presumably impact franchise stores. Why? The number of individual filers walking into an H&R Block store will decline as people submitting simple tax returns from home. As the Baby Boomer generation continues to retire and younger workers enter the workforce, expect this to trend to gain more steam the next 5 – 10 years.

Are a lot of H&R Block franchises closing down? Why?

In 2018, H&R Block made the decision to shut down over 400 locations across the country. Low-profit margins and declining sales were cited as reasons for the closures. The fact is, individuals
