↑ 11%World Cup fans' ranch obsession sparks new ways to bring condiment abroad. July 4, 2026 GNCadm1n Lifestyle Comments Off on World Cup fans' ranch obsession sparks new ways to bring condiment abroad. International World Cup fans visiting the U.S. have gone crazy for ranch, the quintessential American salad dressing and dip, prompting some to even attempt to bring the creamy condiment abroad. "EUROPE WE NEED RANCH ASAP," one Swedish fan wrote in a now-viral post on X earlier this month. Responding to another X user who commented on her post, the Swedish fan added that the experience of trying ranch dressing for the first time had become "a core memory." The newfound enthusiasm for classic ranch even prompted the Transportation Security Administration to remind travelers of the agency's liquids rule, and to pack any ranch dressing bottles in checked bags instead of carry-on luggage before a flight. "Are you kicking around the idea of flying home with your favorite dip? If you're traveling within the U.S., make sure to keep your carry-on sauces to 3.4oz or less and place any larger containers in your checked bags," the agency wrote in part in the caption of a June 16 Instagram post. The condiment has become so popular with international tourists that food giant Kraft, one of the many companies that produces ranch dressing, announced on social media that it was working on a "TSA-compliant" ranch product with dressing packets in clear, quart-sized bags that could be brought aboard a plane in carry-on luggage. Kraft told ABC News it doesn't have a time frame on the product's release for now. Another ranch maker, Hidden Valley, also reminded ranch fans new and old that it offers ranch seasoning in powder form, meaning its non-liquid ranch packets are automatically compliant with TSA rules.
Manufacturing giants join forces with Telford College for new food and drink apprenticeship. Three of Shropshire's biggest food and drink manufacturers are partnering with Telford College to design a brand new engineering apprenticeship. Kraft Heinz, Avara Foods and Pickstock are joining forces with the college to develop the new qualification aimed at delivering the skills the sector needs for growth. The Level 3 Food and Drink Maintenance Engineering apprenticeship, available to Telford College students from September, will train apprentices in specific skills needed in food and drink businesses which contribute £2.4 billion in Gross Value Added (GVA) to the West Midlands economy. Anton Hickey, site director for Telford-based Kraft Heinz, one of the world's biggest producers of sauces, said the partnership with Telford College and the new apprenticeship would help solve an industry-wide skills issue. He said: "Telford College can recruit engineers but getting engineers with the right skills within the food and drink sector which is a fast-changing environment is difficult so this is a real opportunity for Telford College with the help of Telford college to be able to mold its own apprentices with the skills Telford College need specifically for this site. "The employer teams at Telford College have really listened to us and the needs of our sector. This new apprenticeship will be a fantastic opportunity for young people. The career opportunities across the food and drink industry are endless and I'm looking forward to being a real ambassador for this new scheme." The decision to develop the new apprenticeships came from conversations with employers at Telford College's regular Employer Skills Hubs - dedicated events where educators, manufacturers and industry stakeholders work together to shape the region's future workforce. David Moreton, head of apprenticeships at Telford College, said: "Telford College get a lot of businesses within the food and drink sector attending these hubs and Telford College were hearing that recent changes to engineering apprenticeship standards had created a real skills gap for their industry. "Traditional engineering apprenticeships have moved towards a mechatronics focus, and as a result many of the core practical skills that food and drink manufacturers depend on have been stripped out - skills such as machining, welding and electrical maintenance. "This new apprenticeship restores those skills. Crucially, it does so in a food and drink manufacturing context - training apprentices to work with stainless steel production lines, food-safe lubricants and the specialist materials used in the sector every day. "Employers have told us these are the skills the sector needs to thrive and we're proud to be working in partnership to secure the future of the sector by training students to be industry-ready." Chris Field, employer relationship manager at Telford College said the partnership model was central to what made this apprenticeship different. "We wanted employers to put their stamp on this apprenticeship," he said. "Food and drink manufacturers are under real pressure to recruit and retain skilled engineers. Competition from larger employers, an ageing workforce and persistent gaps in multi-skilled mechanical and electrical knowledge alongside industry-specific knowledge mean businesses increasingly need to grow their own talent. "By working in partnership, understanding their operations and going out to visit their sites, we've been able to make sure that training through this apprenticeship will match the skills needed on production lines and factory floors. Employers tell us what they need and we listen and that's what makes our programmes different." Michael McCoole, engineering operations manager at Avara Foods - one of the UK's largest poultry processors with around 6,000 employees - said: "Telford College is proud to be working alongside Telford College and industry partners to help develop this new apprenticeship. "At Avara Foods, investing in the next generation of engineers is vital for its continued growth and for the success of food manufacturing in the region. Apprenticeships like this ensure its sector has access to the specialist skills and knowledge needed to maintain high standards and support innovation in a fast-moving industry. "We are committed to creating opportunities for young people to build successful careers and are excited to welcome future Telford College apprentices to our organisation." The first cohort of apprentices will begin the course this September. Alongside the core programme, Telford College's Apprenticeship Plus initiative launched earlier this year, offers employers optional bolt-on training to help upskill existing members of their workforces. Last year, Telford College trained 31 mechatronic maintenance apprentices with a 100 per cent overall pass rate.

Heinz and Heineken(R) finally make it official with limited-edition six-pack. Published: June 12, 2026 Heinz and Heineken(R) have joined forces for a limited-edition collaboration that brings their two iconic names together in one surprising six pack. The pairing builds on how both brands have long been part of the same social moments - from casual gatherings to shared tables.

From the irrational love that inspires our fans to go 'all in' to our shared commitment to quality, this partnership may be our most rational one yet."

New Zealand: union outcry over announced closures at Kraft Heinz. Published: 22/04/2026 In New Zealand, the consequences of Kraft Heinz Company's global strategy and prolonged underinvestment are not abstract. They are immediate, local, and deeply felt. The closure of Kraft Heinz Wattie's and Gregg's factory sites in Auckland, Christchurch, and Dunedin, along with the discontinuation of packing on frozen vegetable lines at its Kings Street facility in Hastings, will directly affect some 350 workers and the communities that depend on them. For many, these are not transitional jobs, but long-term livelihoods embedded in regional economies with limited alternative employment. The average employment tenure across the sites is around 30 years. Kathy Perrin, an E tū delegate with 46 years at Heinz Wattie's, described the announcement as "devastating." IUF affiliate E tū has made clear that this is not simply a business adjustment, but a decision with wider social and economic consequences. The announced closures threaten to dismantle established production networks linking processing facilities with local growers, suppliers, and transport. What is at risk is a production ecosystem built over decades. The New Zealand announcement follows a broader decision by Kraft Heinz in February 2026 to pause work on its planned separation into two companies. At the same time, the company has signaled renewed investment, including a USD 600 million allocation to marketing, sales, and research and development, as well as product superiority and select pricing. These developments take place against the backdrop of a legacy strategy, now inherited by the company's new CEO, defined over some years by aggressive cost-cutting and an underinvestment in the company's brands. Since 2019, Kraft Heinz has repeatedly written down the value of its brands, beginning with a USD 15.4 billion impairment charge in 2019 and followed by further write-downs, including a USD 9.3 billion charge in 2025. Over roughly the same period, the company has however returned an estimated USD 15-18 billion to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks. What is presented as constraint in one context appears as flexibility in another. During the consultation period, E tū called for a process that would go beyond formal consultation, emphasizing the need for meaningful engagement with workers and their representatives. Despite the production closure and job cuts being confirmed, E tū has asked the company to revisit a potential sale of the affected sites and their operations, but this depends on the company's willingness to consider social and economic factors beyond its own brand protection and competitive advantage in the short term. The outcome extends beyond the immediate impact on workers. It raises broader questions about the future of local production and the role of labour in corporate decision-making: whether restructuring will continue to be managed primarily as a financial adjustment, or whether it will account for the long-term sustainability of the workforce and the communities on which production depends. What is at risk is a production ecosystem built over decades.
