At Nelson-Jameson, we try our best to answer our customer questions efficiently and correctly. Below is an important question about Chloride Analyzers which should be considered by our food industry audience.
Customer Question: Why has there been strong demand recently for the Nelson-Jameson M926 Chloride Analyzer?
Nelson-Jameson’s Answer: Salt is the largest source of added sodium in most food products. Of course salt is added as a flavor enhancer and it is also used to lower water activity and create a barrier to dangerous microbes.
Unfortunately salt, and the sodium that comes with it, has been implicated in hypertension leading to cardiovascular disease and strokes. Consumer movements such as the National Salt Reduction Initiative (NSRI), a coalition of public health and food retailing concerns, have responded by recognizing companies that employ effective salt management programs. Many food companies which use salt as a major ingredient including Unilever, Kraft Foods, and Heinz have acknowledged NSRI and are committed to following best practices for responsible salt reduction in their products. Acting on this mandate is also necessary for them to avoid lost market share among their retail customers.

About a month ago, I posted a blog New Products on the Horizon describing some of the new and exciting products that were in the works for the Production and Material Handling category. Well, I am here to happily tell you that what once started out as a few customer requests here and there, has now been converted into a reality. I have worked with one of our vendors; REMCO, to expand the offering of orange color-coded products. We have added orange items from floor brooms and squeegees to dustpans and pails. We now offer an abundance of orange tools that are available to help ensure that every in-plant zone or task has its own distinct color.
To see all of the recently added orange tools, please click on the links below for a full color iamge of our available orange tools.
