Altering the slicing equipment would take weeks and thousands of dollars, so obviously it's not worth it. I'm very familiar with McCain Foods (the food business is a small placejmq wrote:.
Obviously, the more altruistic suggestions like the ones made here would be nice and much preferred plus I assume your engineers have considered and rejected the idea of making a temporary modification to the slicing equipment.
However, if that didn’t work out, would you consider selling to one of your competitors or frozen pizza makers or one of the big pizza retail chains?
Here’s a real long shot suggestion of that type: until recently one of our big accounts was McCain Foods (no not the Senator – they are based in Canada and are big in the potato business) and they had frozen pizza making plants in different parts of the US. They make the Ellio’s frozen pizza brand. They do have a plant in Illinois – don’t know if it makes pizza – but their corp office is also located in Lisle, IL. But they probably have very specific size specs for their equipment too…
)...actually they are one of our suppliers. Even if the pepperoni worked in their slicers (which is highly unlikely), it is even less likely that their pepperoni ingredient statement would match ours. FDA products can fudge a little bit on ingredient statements, but USDA products (meat) have to be exactly right. Thanks for the suggestion though.Not as big as you might think...our spec calls for the diameter to be 44 +/-2 mm...this stuff is 47 to 50 mm. It probably doesn't seem like much but it makes all the difference in the worlddjmom wrote:so....just how big is this pepperoni?
