listeriaFriday, November 19, Breedlove’s Quality Assurance capabilities were taken to a new level when Mark Griffith (left), Rosie Marquez (right), and Blanca Perez (center) completed technical training on the RapidChek SELECT Listeria Test System.

“Listeria is a family of bacteria and some species are pathogenic, meaning it causes illness and possibly death,” says Griffith. “It probably wouldn’t harm anyone with a healthy immune system, but it could be lethal to infants, the elderly, and others with a weakened immune system including an unborn child.”

VitaNut TestOn Thursday, Breedlove Foods mixed and packaged the very first samples of the new RUF paste product, VitaNut-Pro using the newly installed equipment. This was only a test run of the production line to help our crew of experts know what tweaks and adjustments still need to be made. While this was not the official first run of the product, it was still exciting to see a handful of the product in the actual packaging. It looked good and tasted even better! We’ll keep you posted as the date of the official first production run draws nearer. It will be a big event here at Breedlove!

Lions donateBreedlove Foods was honored to be one of three guest speakers for the District 2 T-2 Lions Club conference today! This coming year the Lions Club intends to take on the challenging issue of hunger and allowed the South Plains Food Bank, Salvation Army and Breedlove to lay the foundation of the hunger issue.

At the end of the conference the Lion blessed us with a check for $600 and told me to put it toward whatever campaign we currently had going. I was thrilled to be able to add it to Our Community Serving Theirs! Thank you Lions!

ocstDuring the last year multiple schools and organizations raised money for Breedlove Foods dedicated to providing desperately needed food for Haiti relief. Each group’s individual efforts made an enormous difference in the lives of thousands of people. Out of that success was birthed the following idea.

What if we could get all of the schools and organizations in West Texas to be a part of one unified fundraiser at the same time, with the proceeds designated to one specific Haitian community? The combined efforts of such a campaign would be phenomenal, effecting change in that community for future generations!

Breedlove has organized the West Texas community to participate in fundraisers during a single two-week period from September 20 to October 1.

Hygienic KitsBreedlove Foods has started manufacturing hygienic kits through the work efforts of volunteers. If you have a heart to serve, we would love your help creating hygienic kits to be sent all over the world.

There are currently 165 generic hygienic kits and 280 feminine kits ready to be shipped out to Honduras. Both kits contain a bottle of shampoo, a bar of soap, a toothbrush, and toothpaste. The feminine kit also contains a maxi thin.

In addition to the kits being sent out, there are enough supplies at hand to build almost a thousand more hygienic kits.
