Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, marking the first
time the Seminar has been scheduled for this
venue.
The Tisdell Cup National Deli Scramble,
the official opening event of the Seminar,

the Aviara Course.
Following are short biographies of the
recently announced speakers.
Daniel Amen, M.D.
Dr. Daniel Amen, M.D., is a physician,
double board certified psychiatrist, teacher
and five-time New York Times bestselling
author. He is widely regarded as one of the
world’s foremost experts on applying brain
imaging science to everyday clinical practice. Dr. Amen is the Founder of Amen Clinics in Newport Beach and San Francisco,
Bellevue, Wash., Reston, Va, Atlanta and
New York City.
Amen Clinics have the world’s largest
database of functional brain scans relating
to behavior, totaling 73,000 scans on patients from 90 countries.
Dr. Amen is a Distinguished Fellow of
the American Psychiatric Association and

Drs. Mark Hyman and Mehmet Oz, Dr.
Amen is also one of the chief architects on
Saddleback Church’s “Daniel Plan,” a 52week program to get the world healthy
through religious organizations.
After the first year the church lost
260,000 pounds, but weight loss was only
one of the stunning side effects of getting
truly healthy. Other common effects of The
Daniel Plan were increased energy, better
focus and mood, and a reduction of many
medications for the participants. The Daniel
Plan is being exported around the world to
help churches, synagogues and all religious
people get healthy.
Dr. Amen is also the host of 7 popular
shows about the brain, which have raised
more than 40 million dollars for public television.
Dr. Amen is the author of 51 professional
articles, five book chapters, and more than
30 books, including five New York Times
bestsellers, including Change Your Brain,
Change Your Life; Magnificent Mind At Any
Age; Change Your Brain, Change Your

Unified Grocers Expo
New York City lands in
Long Beach for Expo
Capitalizing on the popularity of Broadway productions
in New York, Unified Grocers determined the theme of not having to go all the way to New York to see the “next big show” and
the “hottest ticket in town.”
The largest and most complete supermarket show on the West
Coast ran for two days in June at the Long Beach Convention Center as vendors and exhibitors offered specials and deals to the large
number of Unified retailer members from Seattle to San Diego and
points beyond.
The Expo was decorated in the Big Apple theme, complete with
signs of well-known streets and attractions ... from Wall St. to the
Statue of Liberty.

Big Cheese Award for July
Anthony Reyes, Voskos Greek Yogurt
Western Region Sales
Manager seems to be
always on the move
By DAVE DANIEL
Editor, DDBC News
Greek yogurt seemingly is everywhere
these days … and not just in the dairy case
at your neighborhood grocery store … or
any retail establishment with a refrigerated
case.
Take Voskos Greek Yogurt, the first product in the category to be produced in the
United States, beginning in 1999. It truly
has become a child of the 21st Century and
you can find it on Facebook, on Twitter, on
Pinterest, on YouTube, on an RSS (Really
Simple Syndication) feed and probably every other social network you can Google on
your laptop.
And if you are lucky enough, you might
even cross paths with Anthony Reyes, the
Western Region Sales Manager for Voskos,
who handles sales from the Midwest
(Kroger, Target) to the Southwest (Texas,
Oklahoma, Arizona) to California (Northern and Southern) and the Pacific Northwest
and who is one of the company’s experts.
He joined Voskos in August 2011 and has
helped the company increase sales threefold,
which has helped him be selected as the Big
Cheese Award honoree for July by the Dairy
Deli Bakery Council (DDBC) of Southern
California.
Voskos had worked for competitor
Chobani, a New York-based company that
14 DDBC News, July-August 2013
Anthony Reyes
was No. 1 in sales nationally. Greek Yogurt
sales are up 41 percent across the nation.
He then made a stop at Reynaldo’s Mexican Foods before being recruited by Voskos.
“When I started in the Greek Yogurt category in 2005, it was challenging to get
sales,” Reyes said. “But then there was success because of having a healthy product that
no one else had at the time. Now, it is challenging again because there is so much competition. It seems as if everyone out there
has a Greek yogurt.”
To look at Reyes, you wouldn’t believe
he has logged 30 years in the food industry,
starting as a courtesy clerk while at his
hometown Santa Ana High at the long-gone
Gemco Stores in 1983. He moved to Lucky
Stores as a courtesy clerk for another two
years before entering the Fire Academy at
Rancho Santiago College in 1992.
“I was a PCF firefighter for six years with
the Orange County Fire Authority,” he said,
explaining he was paid call (on call)
firefighter, similar to being in the reserves.
He joined the Crown/BBK brokerage in
1993 and worked as an account executive
for 8 years, repping such accounts as
Sargento Cheese, Tropicana, Dannon,
Marzetti’s, Crystal Geyser, McCormick’s,
Quaker, and others.
He moved to the Fresh Team at Acosta
in 2001 and handled a varied line of perishables under the guidance of Jim Paulus. “I
have been blessed to be in this industry and
with the people I have been able to work
with. Jim has been my mentor for many
years. The entire team at Acosta is absolutely
fantastic. Jim Veregge at Unified has been
very encouraging to me. And now I am
working with John Brass and his great team.
I hope everyone knows how fortunate we
are to have such great people working in
this industry here.”
It was while at Acosta that he was introduced to the DDBC. He remains as active
as he can when he is not traveling.
And speaking of being active, the single
dad is raising … and competing … with his
daughter Sydney, who turned 16 in June.
“She will want to be driving soon, but
she doesn’t have her learner’s permit yet,
so at least that is one battle I am winning,”
he said with a hearty laugh.
They are in training to compete in a
triathlon (swim-bike-run).
Reyes played baseball in high school and
Sydney plays softball. Both have done some
running, especially half-marathons. “I have
completed one marathon … the Los Angeles Marathon … and four half-marathons,”
he said. “This year I did the Beach Cities
Challenge, which had races in Orange
County, Huntington Beach, and Long
Beach. We are going to do it again this year.
“My daughter is the most important thing
in my life now,” he said. “We swim in a cove
off Corona del Mar and swimming is what I
need to work on the most for the triathlon,”
he admits.
He also plays some golf, but admits he
does it mostly for fun.
And being a single dad means he has a
lot of kitchen duty, too. “I like to cook,” he
said. “I like to barbeque and smoke meats
at home. If I could have any dinner out, it
would probably be Italian food.”
And, of course, there is Greek yogurt.
“Yeah, I eat a lot of it,” he said with a smile.
“I like it.”
Please join the DDBC is saluting Reyes
as the Big Cheese for July.
CONGRATULATONS TO ANTHONY
FOR BEING THE BIG CHEESE
BIG CHEESE
July is Hot Dog Month
Don’t forget the sausage this summer
July is Hot Dog Month and there never
is a shortage for consumers to choose from
because of a vast variety of products out
there. And that includes the growing sausage market, especially premium sausages.
One of the best is from Evergood Fine
Foods from the Bay Area.
Evergood has been represented in the
Southern California marketplace for years
by Mastro & Associates. Long time
Evergood business manager Paul Yates retired at the end of May, but Laura Mastro
has assumed the account without missing a
beat.
“We have been fortunate to enjoy great
distribution for the Evergood line and have
enjoyed our association with everyone associated with these great products,” said
Laura Mastro. “Their history of quality
speaks for itself.”
For more than 80 years, Evergood Fine
Foods has been proudly family owned and
operated.
In the early 1900’s Jacob Rauscher, a
master sausage maker, moved his family to
the United States from their native home of
Bavaria. In 1926 the Rauscher family
opened “Evergood Pork Store” in the Mission district of San Francisco. Their store
was founded as a traditional European delicatessen. With their one smoke house, the
Rauscher family manufactured a wide variety of old world German style sausages:
Knockwurst, Kielbasa, Dinner Franks,
Blood Sausage, Head Cheese, Thuringer,
Berlinger Jadqwurst, Mettwurst, Liver Sausage, and more.
By the 1950’s, the popularity of
Evergood sausages had grown beyond the
neighborhood. As demand for these tasty
sausages increased, Jacob’s son, Walter,
expanded the business by bringing in two
more sausage makers, George Ehrlich and
Harlan Miller. In 1966 they built and moved
to the current manufacturing facility in the
Bayview district of San Francisco.
Today, some 82 years after the opening
of the original Evergood shop, Harlan Miller
and his sons proudly carry on the family tradition of the Evergood brand.
The size and scope of the U.S. sausage market
Sausages are enjoying unprecedented
sales in the United States, as new flavors,
convenient products and many great tasting
old standards have enjoyed steady category
growth.
According to the National Hot Dog
Council, retail sales of sausages in major
markets are collected by aggregating products scanned at the checkout counter or
through scanner wands used in some households.
Scanners read bar codes on uniformweight products, like a package of ten to
the pound branded wieners. The numbers
are tracked by reporting companies. Scan
data collected in homes is projected across
the population. However, many sausage
products are sold as “random weight” items,
meaning retail packages are not of uniform
weight and often not tracked by scanners.
According to figures for 2012, dinner
sausage sales tallied $2.06 billion. Breakfast sausage/ham sales came in at more than
16 DDBC News, July-August 2013
$1.4 billion in sales.
When it comes to sausage, the Milwaukee Brewers, home of the Klement’s sausage race at every home game, are still the
only team projected to sell more sausages
than hot dogs. However, The Red Sox have
claimed the title of sausage kings from the
Brewers with an estimated 421,200 sausages. The Red Sox are followed by the
Mets with 405,000, and the Giants, Nationals, Tigers and Brewers tied with 400,000.
Overall, fans are expected to consume
more than 6,133, 722 sausages this season.
Unfortunately, there is a limited amount
of data available about the sales of sausage
in other foodservice outlets. However,
foodservice sales of breakfast and dinner
sausages are substantial.
Demographics
Dinner sausage consumption is fairly uniform throughout various income levels,
while lower income families consume the
most breakfast sausage.
Larger families eat the most breakfast and
dinner sausage, as do younger families, with
sausage consumption leveling off considerably for senior citizens.
Residents of the Deep South consume the
most dinner sausage, followed by the Northeast, according to a survey conducted by the
Council. San Antonio led the way in sales
of dinner sausage with dollar sales of $112
million. Los Angeles and New York were
the second and third largest markets with
sales of $97 million and $92 million.
Sausage consumption also varies by season. Dinner sausage sales reportedly peak
during the summer months, with dollar sales
accounting for nearly one-third of annual
sales. Breakfast sausage sales peak during
holiday months from November through
January.

Former DDBC President Bob Dressler has joined the Advantage Action Southern Califorma sales team.
Dressler was with Advantage Sales & Marketing, which recently

Karl Schmill retires
Longtime DDBC member Karl

40-year career with Foster Farms.
Schmill, who has been a strong supporter of many food industry associations, served as the Business Manager
at his retirement.
His first post with Foster Farms was
in sales in the food service division. His
work there helped turn food service into
a stand alone Division. He also worked
in operations before heading up the
sales department.
Smithfield Foods
Smithfield Foods Inc., the world’s leading pork producer, is being
sold to Shuanghui International Holdings, owner of China’s largest
meat processing business, for $7.1 billion.
Smithfield shareholders, who along with antitrust regulators must
still approve the deal, would get $34 per share in cash, a 31% premium over the closing stock price.
24 DDBC News, July-August 2013
With 138.8 million outstanding shares, the value of the takeover, sans debt, is $4.7 billion.
Hong Kong-based Shuanghui is a majority shareholder of megameat company Henan Shuanghui Investment & Development Co.,
which produces more than 2.7 million tons of meat a year.
By becoming a subsidiary of Shuanghui, Smithfield is expected
to expand its presence in the booming Chinese market while maintaining its food safety standards, the company said.
The $13-billion U.S. company will be allowed to keep its headquarters in Smithfield, Va., none of its facilities will close and its
46,000 employees will keep their jobs. Collective bargaining agreements will stay in place. Smithfield will keep its name but stop
trading publicly.
“We do not anticipate any changes in how we do business operationally in the United States and throughout the world,” C. Larry
Pope, who will retain his post as Smithfield’s chief executive, said.
The deal, which was unanimously approved by both companies’ boards, is expected to close in the second half of the year.
“This is a great transaction for all Smithfield stakeholders, as
well as for American farmers and U.S. agriculture,” Pope said.
Wenonah Hauter, executive director of consumer advocacy group
Food & Water Watch, said in a statement that the SmithfieldShuanghui marriage creates a “cross-border bacon behemoth.”

The future of hot dogs
Will recipes replace the grill?
With both good weather and summer here, it’s safe to say
that barbecue season is in full swing. And while grilling favorites such as chicken and burgers often are eaten year round, it seems hot
dogs might only be a summer staple.
According to recent Mintel research,
almost a quarter (23%) of consumers only think of eating hot dogs during the grilling season.
“While hot dog brands enjoy
healthy sales during the height of the
summer grilling frenzy, they must do
more to encourage consumption of
hot dogs for a range of meal occasions, regardless of season,” notes
John N. Frank, category manager,
CPG food and drink. “Providing
recipe ideas for hot dog dishes could
help promote their use for a broader
range of occasions.”
It seems recipes might be key for
future growth in the category, as 12%
of survey respondents said they
would eat more hot dogs if they knew recipes that included the
summer treats. As it stands, the most popular way consumers
eat hot dogs, frankfurters or sausages is to prepare them on the
grill, and pair with a bun, with 88%
reporting as much.
In addition to consumer education
about alternative preparation techniques, Mintel research found that
consumers might be deterred for
health reasons, as 26% of Americans
would eat more hot dogs if they were
lower in sodium. Meanwhile, 15%
say hot dogs are too processed and
33% would eat more hot dogs if they
were more nutritious.
“More than half of those who are
eating more/about the same amount
of hot dogs and sausages compared
to a year ago agree that they are trying to eat healthier these days,” adds
John N. Frank. “This indicates that
low-fat and BFY products will likely
appeal to a majority of users. Few of
the leading brands are marketing lowsodium hot dogs, indicating a niche that could help boost sales.”
Adjusting to Hispanic traditions
Biggest meal is eaten
at lunchtime, at home,
and probably contains
rice on the menu
Following a Hispanic cultural tradition
U.S. Hispanics have their largest meal of
the day at lunch and consume more of these
meals in the home than away-from-home.
As a result, this large population group is
influencing overall growth in the food categories they typically consume at lunch, reports The NPD Group, a leading global information company.
Seventy-three percent of U.S. Hispanics’
lunch meals are prepared and consumed inhome compared to 62% of non-Hispanics,
according to NPD’s NET® (National Eating Trends®) Hispanic, which is a year-long
study of U.S. Hispanics’ eating behaviors.
Spanish-language dominant U.S. Hispanics represent just 29% of total lunch traffic
at restaurants compared to 34% for nonHispanics, and total Hispanics represent
32% of foodservice lunch visits, according
to NPD CREST® Hispanic, which continually tracks how U.S. Hispanics, by level of
acculturation, use restaurants
With lunch being the largest meal of the
day for U.S. Hispanics, there is a greater
diversity of foods prepared by Hispanics
compared to non-Hispanics. For example,
while sandwiches are the top items for Hispanics, they are only present at 18% of afternoon meals (38% for non-Hispanics),
finds NPD. Sandwiches are closely followed
by soup and rice as top dishes during the
afternoon meal. In fact, 13% of Hispanics’
afternoon meals include rice, compared to
just one percent for non-Hispanics. There
is also evidence that many of these rice
dishes are either homemade or partly home-
made, as they are often prepared using cooking oils and spices as opposed to heat-andeat or pre-flavored offerings.
Rice is an example of U.S. Hispanics’ rising influence on overall consumption trends.
Rice is included in about 2% of in-home
meals across the U.S. population, according to NPD’s National Eating Trends®
(NET®) information. However, NET Hispanic shows rice consumption rises to 8%
when looking specifically at the U.S. Hispanic population.
“As Hispanics become an even greater
influence on our culture and society, marketers would be wise to engage them in a
manner that reflects their behaviors,” says
Darren Seifer, food and beverage industry
analyst. “For example, rice is currently
thought of as a dinnertime item, but perhaps
it’s time to rethink this given the ways it is
consumed among Hispanics.”
