Plant Life
The heat is ON and all those beautiful tomato plants are soaking up the summer sun. Very soon millions of red, ripe tomatoes
will make their way from the field to the factory, into the cans and onto the grocer’s shelves ready for your next delicious tomato
recipe! In order to process this summer’s bounty, the manufacturing plants work safely and diligently to prepare for another fantastic fresh
pack season.
Safety may be Orestes’ middle name! The goal was set, but they’ve raised the bar by LOWERING incidents. In fact, not only have
they achieved their safety goal, they have the best rating in plant since 2005. Hats off, Orestes…keep up the safe work! It seems
working safely is a way of life here in Tomato Country®. The DC is reporting no lost time injuries since April 2nd, 2012. Yes,
that’s correct! 2-0-1-2! GE and EL plants are also reporting continued safety education on CPR/AED, Confined Space, Arc Flash
Training & Compliance and the “STOP for Each Other” program, proving Red Gold is committed to a safe work environment.
Here at Red Gold, we’re continuously improving and all facilities are hard at work, as each plant describes initiatives
aimed at reducing waste of all types. GE lists several process improvements, including piping modifications to reduce line
pressure which will contribute to maintaining yields and product temperature, and line control modifications to reduce
glass breakage. Another improvement to the paste filler agitation process will reduce the prospect for spoilage. Sounds
great, Geneva! We like the way you’re thinking! EL shares they have NINE A3’s currently being worked on in the plant.
OR and the DC have a lot to talk about, as well. The DC is set to install the upgraded version of the WMS operating system, which cuts down on deadheading, or
wasted time and movement, and OR Shipping has four groups set on increasing inventory accuracy. The OR Packaging Department has two big waste reduction
drives focused on perfect case quantity for each order. This will eliminate over runs, greatly reducing the amount of film waste while improving shrink film yield.
We’re taking the tools we’ve been given, using the lessons we’ve learned, and applying all of this to our everyday jobs, making Red Gold the best it can be.
It’s an exciting time to be here in Tomato Country® as all plants set their sights to produce the freshest, best tasting tomato products in the world!
CRUSH HUNGER SATURDAY - OCTOBER 12, 2013
Red Gold is proud to announce the 2nd annual “Run to Crush Hunger” competitive 5K run and family walk and
28th Annual “Chili-Cook Off”. ‘Crush Hunger Saturday’ will start with check-in for the run at 7:30a.m. at Callaway
Park and continue through the day’s events, ending at the “Chili Cook-Off” held at the Elwood Municipal
Building.
Red Gold is thrilled to be working with several Indiana-based sponsors and the local community to help with
the fight against hunger. “All proceeds from the race will be donated to the local Morrisett Center Food Pantry
and Second Harvest Food Bank of East Central Indiana,” says Tim Ingle, Red Gold Vice President of Human
Resources. Last year the race attracted nearly 800 participants from 59 cities, 45 counties and 8 different
states, which led to a donation of nearly $15,000. Red Gold is challenging its employees and the community
again this year, to get involved and support a good cause while enjoying some family fun. This year’s awards at
the “Run to Crush Hunger” include cash prizes, unique trophies to first place male and female participants, gift
certificates, Red Gold gift boxes and additional awards in male and female age brackets. Everyone participating
in the run will receive a shirt and a souvenir goodie bag filled with surprises.
Following the “Run to Crush Hunger”, Red Gold will be hosting the 28th Annual “Red Gold Chili Cook-Off” and
the Colts ‘Blue Saturday’ starting at 11:00 a.m. in Elwood on Saturday, October 12th. “Having all three events
in Elwood makes ‘Crush Hunger Saturday’ a great destination for all ages to enjoy fun activities, a unique run,
great chili to sample, and the Indianapolis Colts,” says Colt Reichart, Red Gold New Media Marketing Manager.
Also featured at the cook-off will be: 30+ unique chili recipes to taste, booths featuring fall crafts, baked goods,
hand-made specialty items, spectacular live entertainment, Pro Fisherman Todd Hollowell, the Pacers Fan Van,
a $750 cash prize to the first place chili recipe and a chili-eating contest!

We h a ve ES P! – Excellent Sensor y P an e lis ts
Red Gold has been in the process of creating a Descriptive Analysis Sensory Panel. Descriptive
Analysis means that a panelist will measure WHAT a product is objectively, by using appearance,
aroma, flavor, texture and taste. Our Product Development team can then collect data on our
products and will have scientific feedback on what attributes are present, and how they differ from
our competitors!
Previous food panels conducted at Red Gold were Consumer Panels, which focused on how
much a panelist LIKED or DISLIKED a product. This didn’t provide RG PD (Product Development)
with enough information on what was needed to change or make a product match or exceed our
competitors.
The Wolf Group, a consulting firm from Cincinnati, Ohio that performs sensory evaluation, research
and training, screened RG employees for their ability to taste. Participants were given a taste test
to see if they could determine the difference between basic tastes (sweet, salty, sour, and bitter),
and then to see if they could pick out the intensity for each of the basic tastes. The standard for a
“passing grade” from the Wolf Group was a 75%. The top 25 scores for Red Gold participants were
above 87%, we were way above average!
The Wolf Group trained the top 25 participants for two weeks by teaching the group how to detect and
describe a product’s sensory characteristics. The group examined all types of food; mayonnaise,
applesauce, tomatoes, varieties of peppers and dairy products. Spices were also used to teach
everyone on how to identify certain flavors and aromas in products.
The panelists learned how to evaluate a food product objectively using reference scales for each
sensory characteristic, applying this skill in small groups and then finding the same attribute terms
and definitions…basically, everyone on the team can now speak the same sensory language!
Now that we have a trained panel, we have the upper hand in speaking objectively and scientifically
about our products!
KETCHUP KORNER
This is a place where you can catch up (Get it?) on fun facts about our products, people and activities.
Have you ever wondered what it takes to keep our plants clean? It takes a lot of effort… and a lot of help from our sanitation
departments. Each plant has their own sanitation department which takes care of cleaning every aspect of their facility.
Did you know…?
• At RG EL the Sanitation Department covers any and all CIP cycles regardless of the day or time
• At RG GE the Sanitation Department does allergen cleans for dairy allergens and has a special Sani-matic® parts washer for filler parts that
shortens the cleaning time. In addition, keeping the GE plant clean used around five million gallons of water last year alone!
• During Fresh Pack 2012 all three plants used over 7,000 gallons of an alkaline based cleaning agent in order to ensure our food contact
surfaces were clean
Quarterly Definitions
CIP – Clean in Place – a cleaning method for the inside of pipes, tanks and process equipment that does not require disassembly
ACS – Assisted Cleaning System – a cleaning method for process equipment that uses partial CIP system and partial
disassembly to ensure proper cleaning
Elbow Grease – effort used to clean a variety of surfaces; also known as good old fashioned hard work or manual labor

You probably know about the above 3R’s, but have you heard about the 3R’s
at Red Gold? If you haven’t , then you have likely heard our 3R’s described as
something else. The manufacturing industry has several names for it – Landfill
Free, Zero Waste or even Green Plant. ‘Reduce, Re-use, Recycle’ is the current
theme for Red Gold, and we have recently increased our efforts to achieve the
vision of zero waste going to the landfill by 2017.
Your plant management, specifically Warehouse Managers, have rejuvenated
efforts to look at waste in our value streams. We use the term rejuvenate because
Red Gold has had a long history of reducing, reusing and recycling. We wouldn’t
be in business today, had we not!!! Our Peak Performance teams are always
looking to reduce waste so that we don’t have to recycle it to begin with. When
we picked the 3R’s to symbolize our long term vision, the order of the R’s were
important. We realize that the ketchup bottles and tomato cans that end up in our
dumpsters can someday be diverted from the landfill by making first time quality
the goal. That is why Reduce was the first R, and we will attack this through
continued efforts in Peak Performance. The second R, Re-use, is something Red
Gold has never been a stranger to. We have been doing this since our beginning,
and will continue to do so by saving those tier sheets, pallets, bin parts, cap bags
and more. The last R, Recycle, is something we are currently doing, but recognize
we could immediately do better.

Chain Award

and Rob Howell, Sysco Vice President of Supply Chain
Our first target condition, or milestone, for achieving our long term vision was to look
at materials that we are already recycling, but not at the 100% level. Internally, we
are calling these materials “contract recyclables” because Red Gold has already
set up relationships and methods to get these materials into the hands of people
who will recycle them. “Contract recyclables” are in the cross hairs, so to speak,
of our Warehouse Managers. We are very proud to say that all five locations
have done an excellent job trying to locate, understand and obtain these materials
for recycling. We credit our Red Gold employees for this success, as they are
the ones who gathered into teams to tackle individual wastes. The effort and
enthusiasm towards this goal has been tremendous. You can bet that when the
time comes, Red Gold employees will be able to tackle the next material we label
as “contract”! Our Corporate Purchasing team is hard at work trying to identify
vendors for some of our more troublesome remaining materials. Remember that
we are rapidly changing in the factories and the offices – the items you casually
throw away, likely have a method for recycling. Stay in the know and look for
updates on bulletin boards and from your team members.

BUG OFF!
It’s happened to the best of us... you plant the
seeds and give them just the right amount of TLC and
water. Anxiously, you await those first sprouts, then flowers, and then
fruit! You daydream about all the prize worthy dishes you’re going to
create with your crop. Then that fateful day comes… you go out to your
garden to gather the ingredients you need for dinner, only to find your
fruits and veggies munched or worse yet, gone! Pesky pests have ticked
us all off at some point.
There are a variety of garden pests and a number of ways to deal with
them. For the smaller buggers such as insects, companion plants can be
grown alongside your crop to entice beneficial insects who will confuse
the pests. Plant strong-smelling herbs and flowers; many insects locate
food by smell, and the pungent odor of other plants can cause confusion
and send them away. Marigold, mint, wormwood and catnip are just a
few plants useful for this purpose. Ladybugs and other beneficial insects
can be introduced to your garden as well. Release ladybugs in the shade
in the evening so they don’t get too hot in the day sun and end up looking
for a new home. If chemical sprays are necessary, use them in the
evening when bees and other beneficial insects aren’t flying. If you have
to contend with the larger pests, create a physical barrier. Fencing and
e birds and
netting can be used to keep out rabbits, mice,
w
snails.
ie
to look out for include hornworms, psyllids, greenhouse whiteflies,
aphids, spider mites and flea beetles, oh my! Tomato hornworms are
caterpillars that can grow up to three or more inches long and have a
fearsome looking “horn” on their tushie! These bad guys grow quickly
and seem to almost appear overnight. Psyllids are black and white and
jump readily when disturbed. They feed on the underside of leaves and
cause tomatoes to become small and mealy. Flea beetles are small
black chewing insects that create pits in the leaves and the fruit. They
start wreaking havoc in the spring.
Part of the trick of keeping your tomatoes on the path to becoming red,
ripe and delicious, is to keep a close watch on them. Identify the pests
before they do too much damage. Leaves, stems and fruit should be
checked to catch those nasty critters when they’re on the prowl. Use a
hose to spray plants with a strong jet water stream. This will cause the
pests to ‘make like a tree’ and leave. If you spray plants several days
in a row, you can eliminate many generations of fast-multiplying insects.
Insecticidal soap can also be used, as well as horticultural oils, such as
Neem Oil. Be sure not to get too carried away! You only want to kill the
bugs, not the whole plant! So enjoy the fruits of your labor and the taste
of summer… Good luck gardening!

Rule #2: Write What You Mean
Because online interaction removes facial expressions and voice inflection, words and statements that would be
understood as sarcastic or joking in person can be misconstrued as offensive and mean-spirited online. Try to avoid using
sarcasm online by saying directly what you mean.
Rule #3: Use proper punctuation and formatting
Capital letters online are the equivalent of shouting in person. If you want to build good rapport, use proper capitalization
and correct grammar. Using these two simple tactics will increase your voice online by showing that you are educated, value
what others think of you, and that you value professionalism.

Flip-flops
Flip-flops have been around since at least 1500 B.C. They have been the choice of footwear for
everyone from ancient Egyptians to California beach bums. Are these no-fuss flats as harmless
as they seem?
Your body motion starts with your first step and how your heel strikes the ground. When wearing flip-flops, there is no support for your foot. Also,
flip-flops force you to walk abnormally. Your toes tend to grab on to the sole when you walk to ensure that you do not walk out of them. Therefore,
extended or excessive flip-flop wear can cause a range of physical ailments, ranging from plantar fasciitis (causes heel pain) and muscle soreness
to lower back pain. Also, they can cause tumbles, twisted ankles and even broken bones... Not exactly what we signed up for, right?
Some experts say flip-flop use should be limited; but you don’t have to give up wearing them. Just don’t
over-wear them, and buy a good pair. All flip-flops are not created equally. When shopping for a pair, look
for ones that are flexible where your foot bends, and have good arch support, but make sure they don’t
bend all over the place or have stiff soles.
Remember… the number one best shoe for everybody is a good athletic shoe — something that laces up and
has a good structure to it.

Safety Award
Perfect Attendance
Service Awards
Employee of the Quarter
Covering OSHA recordables, lost time incidents, first aid, near misses and
property damage, the ‘traveling safety award’ goes to the safest DEPARTMENT
in the entire company. This year we had a tie between the EL Sanitation
Department and the EL Maintenance Department. This is the fifth time that a
group from Elwood has won this award since its inception ten years ago.
151 employees with service from five to 35 years received necklaces, key fobs,
glass tomatoes, paperweights, bracelets, money clips, jewelry boxes, clocks and
diamond rings!
178 employees received perfect attendance in the 2013 fiscal year. 12% of
these employees received one year of perfect attendance and 88% of them
had perfect attendance from two to nineteen years! The EL and the GE plants
have tied with the greatest percentage of perfect attendance recipients, at
22% for FY’13.
The Employee of the Month award was converted to the Employee of the
Quarter award during the last quarter of 2012. Twenty employees received
beautiful glass commemoratives to honor this peer-to-peer recognition.
