Technomic studying impacts of Mad Cow and avian flu on foodservice
March 30, 2006
CHICAGO— As avian influenza (AI) and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) trigger supply disruptions and volatile conditions for meat and poultry markets throughout much of the rest of the world, it appears increasingly likely the United states will face similar threats and that virtually all aspects of the food supply chain will be affected.
According to a news release, to help foodservice operators and their suppliers better prepare for and manage the potential impact on their business from these threats, Technomic plans to conduct a specialized investigation titled, Assessing Foodservice Industry Attitudinal and Behavioral Adjustments Due to the AI and BSE Threats. The study will evaluate consumer attitudes, concerns, and anticipated shifts in eating-out behaviors, as well as their impact upon restaurant operations and menu offerings.
Technomic Inc. provides chain restaurants and food suppliers with research, insights and strategic consulting support needed to enhance their business strategies, decisions and results. Technomic offers proprietary management consulting solutions and shared-cost, common-interest research.
