Taking a Look at the Ribena Controversy

Scenario 1: You are the healthcare administrator of a nursing home. You are informed by your Admissions Director that a new memory-impaired resident has been admitted into your long-term care unit. The staff is concerned about the involvement of family with your resident. Family members from out-of-town arrived and expressed concern about your resident’s do not resuscitate (DNR) orders which were authorized by the Power of Attorney of another family member. A quarrel erupts in the nursing home with family members voicing their opinions loudly. You arrive on the scene and are immediately told by the visiting family member, “Do you know who I am? I am a supervisor for the Department of Health and Human Services and will not hesitate to have your facility surveyed for noncompliance.” What do you do?

Manuel is very concerned since the forecasted sales and profit targets for the juice business have not been met for the second year in a row. Perceptions in the market are that Cerjugo juice is not of a high quality, and consumers do not appear to be aware of the degree of “freshness” in the products. In addition, the sales force does not seem to fully understand the juice product attributes and tends to focus on selling beer rather than juice products. Turnover in the sales force has increased dramatically and there has been a great deal of in-fighting between Jose, Feliz, and Maria. They always seem to be at opposing ends of an issue and Manuel has to make decisions that inevitably angers one or other of them. The last straw

Company Q has had a large demand from their customers to provide healthy and organic foods over the last few years. They recently started offering a small variety of health and organic food items, which is a step in the right direction toward being socially responsible. They need to be more attentive to the needs and wants of their customers as it shouldn’t have taken years to bring in these demanded products. When there is a demand for products and the company doesn’t respond to that demand, it’s perceived by the consumers that the company simply doesn’t care about their needs and wants. Bringing in a selection of these products was a good start in satisfying their customers. However, with such a demand for these items, having a small and limited selection is just not enough. Expanding the line of health and organic food items will accomplish two things. First and foremost it will appease the current customers and bring in a new clientele that is health conscious, thus helping to create a healthier community and at the same time increasing sales. The higher margin on the health and organic items coupled with the increase in sales will really boost the overall profit margin of the company. Company Q does need to be sure that they don’t over price these products so as to not push away business due to overpricing.

In addition, food manufacturers need to submit packaging and promotional material for gaining the approval by the review of the Heart Foundation. The review is based on the promotional guidelines of this program including assessing the nutrition information panels and how to use the Tick trademark. Also, the product must be compliance with the Australian New Zealand Food Authority Code and the Code of Practice on Nutrient Claims in Food Labels (10). All foods that are approved to use the Tick are subject to random testing for ensuring the foods maintain the nutrition standard. If the product fails in the random audit, it will be expelled from the Tick

In order to write a good and effective literature review, you should be sure to select a specific topic that is not overly broad. If the topic of your paper is not precise, you will end up spending too much time on your research. Choosing a clear-cut topic will make it easier to find articles and other sources to support your thesis.

The allegations raise questions about how the $74 billion industry operates and how it has reacted to the challenges it faces, with rising commodity prices. While price fixing in recent years has been uncovered. Industries have varied such as vitamin makers and auction houses; the idea it may have occurred at companies pumping out millions of kids’ favorites such as M&Ms and Hershey’s bars is hard for some to

While health foods stores attract consumers to purchase health supplements, many manufacturers use health food stores to promote their bogus products. In March 1999, the FTC filed a complaint in federal court against the makers of Vitamin O. The company ran false ads claiming the Vitamin O supplement prevents cancer, heart, and lung disease by adding an extra oxygen supplement to the bloodstream. With no scientific evidence to prove the benefits of Vitamin O, the two companies from Washington agreed to a settlement of $375,000 for consumer compensation. The settlement prohibited the Vitamin O manufacturers from making claims that were unsupported about the Vitamin O health benefits. Testimonials and endorsements of product represented through previous experience from members of the public who used the product were also prohibited in the settlement. In conclusion, marketing agents with false science beliefs have one common goal: To sell! We as consumers must be aware and informed of unknown supplements that claims to have a great deal of impact to your life. These products are known for its testimonials by doctors and actors that make claims of using the product. Pseudoscience supplements have caused serious illnesses and even death due to consumers lack of knowledge when purchasing these products. It is strongly recommended that consumers research the companies and the product that advertise false products very carefully before purchasing a supplement that claims to

Biotechnology is a broad term. Basically, it is the “tools and techniques [opening] new research avenues for discovering how healthy bodies work and what goes wrong when problems arise”(Siedler para. 1). It covers controversial technology and procedure, like genetic engineering and gene therapy. It is controversial because it can affect everyone(Jeremy para. 16). As a consequence, the development of biotechnology has been a “slow, quiet progress”(Kirsner para. 3) because society may or may not recognize the repercussion of it. However, scientist like Smith- a previous chief for the Cambridge biotech company, Genzyme- continues to develop biotechnology(para. 1). Because biotechnology can be controversial, yet scientist continues to develop it;

The crisis that happened at Coca Cola was a very crucial incident. It affected issues such as brand and reputation, and the company has to take action so as not to ruin its image. Coca Cola is a company with a very strong brand name all over the world. An attack like this of the NGO can lead any company to problems. Although the Center for Science and Environment attacked the safety of Coca Cola India 's products, Coke was well within the Indian government 's legal limits for pesticide residue in beverages. The fact is that the country 's standards are weak, so the problem of Sanjiv Gupta and his team is how to rebuild trust. Furtherore, Gupta tries to find ways on how he could contribute on the creation of higher standards for food and

The natural health products industry is a massive part of the New Zealand economy, and brings a lot of income to the country. With New Zealand natural health products continuing to gain popularity overseas, particularly in Australia, North America and Asia as well as right here in our own country, the industry is continuing to grow and grow (Natural Products New Zealand, 2016). In this report I will cover a number of topics regarding the natural health products industry in New Zealand including the sales history of the industry, the major competitors in the industry, environmental influences, and then identify possible target markets for EnzyHealth, a hypothetical company which operates in the natural health industry in New Zealand. There are many different opinions on what exactly the ‘Natural Health Products Industry’ actually includes. For the purpose of this report I have taken the basis of the definition from the Natural Health and Supplementary Products Bill which was developed in New Zealand in 2011 and has since been updated. “Natural health and supplementary product means any product that is […] or appears to be, manufactured for human use and for the primary purpose of bringing about a health benefit to the person who uses the product.” (Natural Health and Supplementary Products Bill 2011, No. 324-2)
