IBIE Brings the Baking Industry TogetherNew Products and Technology Solutions in BakingPress Release by IBIE

The International Baking Industry Exposition (IBIE) took place at the Las Vegas Convention Center last week from October 6-9 and truly reflected the “All Together Now” theme of its 2013 campaign. More than 21,000 attendees from 100 countries and from every segment of the grain-based food industry united to make important connections and get down to serious business. Over the four days of the show, baking professionals explored half a million square feet of exhibition space, looking for the latest ingredient, equipment, technology, packaging and supply solutions from 815 exhibiting companies, a 13 percent increase over 2010, providing 19 percent more square footage for attendees to cover. Several bakers commented about the record number of innovative products on display. “IBIE has a long-standing reputation for championing innovation and showcasing the latest advancements in the industry. This year, the suppliers exceeded all expectations and launched hundreds of new products and solutions aimed at the changing needs of the modern baker,” said Mike Beaty, IBIE chairman and executive vice president of supply chain for Flowers Foods, Inc. A common theme among exhibitors was the growing number of international baking professionals who attended the Las Vegas event. Many suppliers reiterated the value of being able to reach foreign buyers that they likely would not have been able to reach any other way. According to Mike Cornelis, IBIE committee vice chair and vice president of international sales for American Pan, “Over the past two show cycles, we’ve made a concerted effort to increase international participation through a variety of initiatives and outreach programs. We’re thrilled to report that these initiatives are paying off. Registration statistics show that nearly 26 percent of our attendance was interna-tional, with the greatest numbers of buyers traveling from Canada, Mexico, China, Japan, Australia, Russia and the UK. Just as exciting as the business conducted between bakers and suppliers at IBIE were the educational opportunities presented by AIB International, the Retail Bakers of America, PMQ Pizza Magazine, the Bread Bakers Guild of America, the Tortilla Industry Association, the American Bakers Association and BEMA. This year, IBIE offered the most robust, comprehensive educational conference to date, with more than 75 sessions covering everything from improving retail operations to gluten-free baking to food safety and security. The increase in valuable, expert-led sessions grew IBIE’s education attendance by 67 percent over 2010. According to education task force chair and vice president of sales and marketing at Formost Fuji, Dennis Gunnell, “IBIE worked diligently to provide a comprehensive, in-depth education program that would provide the essential knowledge attendees need to improve operations, grow their businesses and stay in front of the industry’s ever-changing curve.” Furthermore, IBIE, along with Bundy Baking Solutions and Snack Food & Wholesale Bakery magazine, honored 16 industry suppliers that have made a positive impact on the environment with its second annual B.E.S.T. (Becoming Environmentally Sustainable Together) in Baking award. The following companies received a bamboo plaque, onsite recognition and media attention for their products or services that foster energy conservation, a reduction in water usage, a decrease in landfill waste, healthy living and/ or a reduction of the overall impact on the environment:

MATC’s Pastry Arts Instructor Certified as an Executive Pastry Chef by the American Culinary Federation (ACF) Chef Tom LaPierre Achieves Executive Pastry Chef CertificationBy Jessica Hoover

Tom LaPierre, a pastry-arts instructor from Milwaukee Area Technical College, earned his ACF credential as a Certified Executive Pastry Chef earlier this year. LaPierre is the fifth person from Wisconsin to achieve this certification.

According to the American Culinary Federation website, “The Executive Pastry Chef certification is designed to identify those pastry chefs who have demonstrated a level of culinary competence and expertise through their education, work experience, culinary knowledge and skills that is consistent with the executive pastry chef level.”

LaPierre began thinking about taking the Certified Executive Pastry Chef exam in 2011 and started preparing for it the following year. He studied extensively for six months before taking the two part

test. The first part is a 90 minute written exam that tests culinary knowledge and the second part is a practical exam.

“I considered the Executive Pastry Chef certification an opportunity for personal and professional growth,” said LaPierre. “I felt I had reached a certain level of knowledge and expertise in my career and I wanted to be validated by my peers. I also wanted to be a role model to my students and show them that no matter what you have already learned, you can always achieve more.”

LaPierre enjoys teaching the Chocolate, Sugar, & Confections Class to students pursuing associate degrees in baking and pastry arts. “I especially like teaching techniques using chocolate and cocoa butter. Students end up creating chocolate showpieces that they are very proud of.” LaPierre finds teaching a very rewarding experience. He has been teaching at MATC for four years and prior to that taught for one year at Nicolet Area Technical College in Rhinelander, WI.

When asked if he has any advice for students that are just starting out with their baking education, LaPierre said, “The field of baking and pastry is a wonderfully creative field that requires a mastery of both the art and science of baking. If you want to excel in this field you need to

take it very seriously and be extremely dedicated. Try to find mentors who have a lot of valuable information that they can teach you. Realize that there is never a time when you will stop learning and nobody knows everything.”

LaPierre, attended the Culinary School of Kendall College with the idea of becoming a traditional culinary chef. After graduation, he worked as a chef in several restaurants and hotels before taking a job in a bakery. “I finally felt I had found my true calling,” said Lapierre. “After that, I continued working in the field of baking and pastry arts while simultaneously taking continuing education courses from industry experts.” His achievements include having a cake featured in American Cake Decorating Magazine and working as the Executive Pastry at several high-end resorts. “I am especially proud of my American Culinary Federation Certification as a Certified Executive Pastry Chef,” LaPierre added. LaPierre plans to continue to teach pastry arts at Milwaukee Area Technical College like he has over the past several years. “Having this certification gives me an additional level of confidence in my skills and abilities,” said LaPierre.

New Traceability Implementation Guideline Issued for Dairy, Deli, & Bakery IndustriesGuideline Developed in Collaboration with Food Industry to Offer Best Practices for Improving Traceability and Food SafetyPress Release by Jessica Hughes, IDDBA

A new implementation guideline for leveraging GS1 global standards for traceability business processes in the dairy, deli, and bakery supply chain was released today by the International Dairy-Deli-Bakery Association, the International Dairy Foods Association, and GS1 US. The Traceability for Dairy, Deli, & Bakery US Implementation Guideline is available at https://www.gs1us.org/industries/fresh-foods/dairy-deli-bakery/guide.

The guide was developed with input from industry stakeholders to provide best practice recommendations to help dairy, deli, and bakery manufacturers, exporters, wholesalers, suppliers, distributors, retailers, foodservice operators, and service providers improve product traceability processes by leveraging GS1 Standards.

“Companies that implement the guidelines can establish an effective traceability program by identifying, capturing, and sharing product data along the supply chain leveraging GS1 Standards,” said Angela Fernandez, vice president, grocery retail and consumer packaged goods at GS1 US. “By utilizing GS1 Standards for external product traceability, the entire industry will see improvements in supply chain visibility, business efficiency and food safety.”

The guidelines apply to all types of dairy, deli, and bakery products, demonstrating precise “how to” instructions for product identification, use of batch/lots numbers, barcodes and other standards needed for traceability processes. It also includes a section on recalls with steps supply chain participants can follow should a product withdrawal or recall occur.

Additionally, to support the industry in implementing the traceability guidelines, GS1 US has developed the GS1 US Dairy, Deli, & Bakery Traceability Readiness Program that includes educational webinars, interactive tools and resources, and a community of industry peers and standards experts with whom industry professionals can share industry best practices and discuss implementation challenges.
