FROM THE DIVA'S READERS:
From Michael York (Be sure and check out michaelyork.com)
Packaging brilliance...with one exception
Great work, perception of what you do to bring value, etc. great branding all the way to yourwebsite and then...you have an aol email contact. Joanne get an email address thru your website and lose the aol. It devalues much of what your packaging builds toward.

Just an innocent bystander impressed by your efforts...
which leads me to the DIVA'S QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Should I move my email address off of AOL?
Does it give you the reader a negative impression?

THE DIVA'S PICK OF THE WEEK:

FDA “ALERT” plan strives to raise food terrorism awareness
Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Washington, DC, establishes ALERT initiative to heighten awareness of potential threats, decrease risk of international contamination, food terrorism.
ALERT, which stands for Assure, Look, Employees, Reports, Threat, applies to any point in food supply chain from farm to table, poses five simple questions: “A - How do you Assure that the supplies and ingredients you use are from safe and secure sources? L – How do you Look after the security of the products and ingredients in your facility? E – What do you know about your Employees and the people that come in and out of your facility? R- Could you provide Reports about the security of the products under your control? T – What do you do and who do you notify if you have a Threat or issue at your facility, including suspicious behavior?” Link to each ALERT word provides additional recommendations.
