As the cold food and beverage industry begins to finalize end-of-year plans and establish goals for 2018, here’s a rundown of some exciting editorial and advertising opportunities available at Refrigerated & Frozen Foods, online, in print and in our e-newsletter, What’s Hot in Cold.

Foodservice Distributor of the Year. New to our roster of cover stories and awards is the Foodservice Distributor of the Year, which honors a foodservice distributor for its year-over-year carbon footprint reduction, including significant supply chain carbon reduction, optimizing a supply chain network, enhancing logistics and transportation models or increasing “green” awareness through internal corporate sustainability programs.

Hiring and retaining skilled workforce, how to obtain an approved supplier program, food safety best practices in ready-to-eat plants, basics of wastewater treatment, blockchain technology, food safety crisis communication planning, going solar and a special report on lift trucks and racking systems are just a snapshot of some of the topics we’ll be covering in 2018.
