Open Committee Descriptions:

Consumer Awareness Committee
The Consumer Awareness Committee (CAC) directs activities to raise product awareness, position dressings and sauces as part of a healthy diet and fosters growth of industry products.  This is accomplished through various ADS-sponsored campaigns, such as National Salad Month, consumer surveys and research. Current projects include national broadcast projects (television and radio) and print activities, including a quarterly public relations calendar and industry product safety promotion, among others.  Industry for promotion for 2009 will also be addressed. 

Portion Control/Flexible Packaging Committee
The Portion Control/Flexible Packaging (PC/FP) Committee addresses the needs of members involved in the portion control and flexible packaging industry.  The group meets twice per year during the Annual and Technical Meetings.  The PC/FP Committee will finalize “Risk Assessment Guidelines for Packaging Materials” and discuss the results of a recent survey of ADS members regarding packaging challenges.  The results of the survey will be used as the basis for new projects.
