Encouragement for Dairy Product Innovation
statistical aspects while another course should be directed at the philosophies, management, organization and communication aspects. Comments by participants from academia were in general agreement that, because of the highly-structured food science curriculum at most universities, it would be difficult to have two courses in the field of QA/QC. The workkshop was a success in bringing together most of the instructors of QA/QC courses for a formal discussion of course philosophy and course content and providing the participants some information on how academia perceive this important field which is of particular interest to the food industry.

A new program was recently announced to encourage the development of innovative dairy products for the domestic market. The Domestic Dairy Product Innovation Program provides additional milk in the system to encourage dairy and other food processors to create products that are significantly different from what is currently available in Canada, thus increasing the overall demand for milk. In order to be eligible for consideration under this Program a proposed product must be wholly or partially made with milk, introduce a significantly new or innovative factor in dairy product processing which is not currently available in Canada, and result in a net increase in the demand for milk once it has been introduced. The program will be funded by Canadian milk producers. Applications will be reviewed by a selection committee comprised of the Commissioners of the Canadian Dairy Commission and the President of the National Dairy Council. Can. Inst. Food Sei. Teehnof. J. Vo!. 22. No. 4, 1989
The Domestic Dairy Product Innovation Program was a recommendation of the Study Team created by the Canadian Milk Supply Management Committee to find ways to add more flexibility in the National Milk Marketing Plan. The Plan is a federal-provincial agreement governing the supply management of industrial milk. For further information, contact the Canadian Dairy Commission at 613998-9490.
CSP Foods Ltd. of Winnipeg, is forming a U.S. subsidiary corporation to supply technical information, advertising and marketing for high erucic acid rape seed oil and canola oil for the U.S. industrial marketplace. The new company, CSP Foods Inc., will concentrate on all industrial applications and some selected food applications. Previously, the industrial market was serviced through Agro Ingredients Ind., now Calgene Chemical Inc. That marketing agreement expired March 31, 1989, and was not renewed due to CSP's desire to market directly to end users. In the food market, established sales activities by CSP Foods out of Winnipeg and Toronto will continue. CSP Foods Ltd. is one of the largest crushers and refiners of high erucic acid rape seed oil and canola oil in North America.
UFL Foods Inc. has moved its Edmonton factory, product development laboratories and executive offices to a new 33,000 sq. ft. plant in south Edmonton. This will be the third newly expanded plant for UFL in the last 12 months, as both Toronto and Montreal plants were expanded earlier. UFL Foods Inc. is a national manufacturer of custom blended food ingredients including seasonings, binders, cures, AIM deheated mustard,
batters, breadings, sauces, soup bases and many other products for food processors. It is also the exclusive Canadian distributor of isolated soy protein for Protein Technologies International of St. Louis, natural seafood and vegetable flavour ingredients for Nikken Foods of Japan, Torutein and Zyest inactive yeasts from Pure Culture Products of New York, and starter media and freeze dried cultures from Nordica International of Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Research at Agriculture Canada's Central Experimental Farm will be strengthened and enhanced to meet the new demands of the agri-food industry. The re-organization will sharpen the focus of research efforts in Ottawa, by improving centres on the Farm. This change at the Engineering and Statistical Research Centre is the result of an evaluation and consultative process with provinces and the agricultural industry that has taken place over the past two years. The new structure on the Farm will improve the effectiveness of agricultural research, which is essential to the development of a strong future for Canadian agriculture. Engineering expertise will be moved to multi-disciplinary teams of researchers at the Farm, providing new challenges for about 73 Agriculture Canada employees. There will be no layoffs or job losses. Research is being strengthened in four major programs at five centres on the Farm: food safety and quality at the Food Research Centre; soil conservation and sustainable agriculture at the Land Resource Research Centre and the Plant Research Centre; animal welfare at the Animal Research Centre; and aspects of environmental research conducted at all of the Centres, including Biosystematics Research Centre.
