People are sick, and it is because of Listeria. Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream is doing all they can do to help fight the Listeria outbreak before it becomes more blown up than it already is.

Jeni and her production workers are testing every batch of product that is created. Jeni tests the batches of product every single day. In an article on Time.com, by Dan Kedmey, (2015) he talks about one of the owners of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream, John Lowe, talking about testing all of the product, “Lowe wrote that the company had initiated routine testing of “every batch” since the first Listeria contamination was discovered last April. “It is with complete confidence that we can say all of the ice cream that has been served in our shops since reopening on May 22 has been safe and is 100% Listeria-free,”” Jeni’s manager John Lowe told the public about their company for an article on time.com. (time.com, para. 3) Jeni also has professional inspectors come in to check her products as well to see if they get a different result. According to JD Malone (2016) the results of the tests were clear, “After two out of 75 swabs taken in January and February came back positive, according to a letter the FDA sent to Jeni 's CEO John Lowe earlier this month.” (Columbus Dispatch, para. 7) The two swabs came from the production plants floor, which means that none of the product should have touched it.

Jeni’s Ice Cream was closed twice, the first time for two months and the second time for two weeks. One reasons why Jeni decided it was long enough to open up their business is because they have recently tested every batch of their product daily. Another reason to believe they were closed long enough is because there was no product contaminated in the production plant, only the production floor had traces of Listeria. Another reason Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream opened when they did was because nobody has died from eating their ice cream so it was not as big of a problem as people have made it out to be. Other people may question if they are doing all the testing they can do to try and combat this Listeria. Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream tests every batch of product they serve daily. Daily testing means there is less of a chance to encounter increased numbers of Listeria. Out of all of the testing swabs only two out of seventy five swabs came back positive, but that was only from the production floor. None of the product testing has come back positive, which means none of the food has been contaminated with

NAN, a product made by Nestle is infant food formula that was marketed in third world developing countries where it is proven the water to be unsafe. Nestle, without being affected, aggressively marketed the dry baby formula to new mothers for the sole purposes of making a profit, without any regard to humanity. Companies earn profits on high priced products or services and then sell it at a higher cost than what it took to make. In order to use the infant formula, because it is a dry based product, water must be added. Continuing issues that developing countries encounter involves contaminated and unsafe drinking water. The baby formula was given to the labor and delivery wards of the hospitals where the babies were born. The babies were fed via bottles using the product from Nestle, versus being breast fed. Naturally, the babies grew to enjoy the flavor and mother’s enjoyed the new way of feeding, providing a new found freedom. Unfortunately, upon leaving the hospital, the mothers were not able to feed their babies for much longer due to not being able to afford to purchase the product. The product was sold at nearly half the cost of what a family could actually afford. In addition, to the high cost of the product, the water being used (outside the hospital) wasn’t safe. Babies were not gaining weight; they were losing weight, and becoming extremely

For example, understanding that some chocolate product purchases are seasonal, e.g., at Christmas; around Mother’s Day; and, on Valentine’s Day, allows the organization to have more product on hand and to create displays, in store, that will increase purchases and attract more customers when existing customers tell their friends about the availability of high end products, at reasonable prices, in their store.

a) What is your assessment of the effectiveness of the management team at Chattanooga Ice Cream? List specific examples needed to support your assessment. The drastic changes that were occurring at this division have everyone confused and uncertain of their future. They do not want to be involved in any decisions regarding the company, due to they never had before. This has affected their effectiveness for the whole as a team. EX: When asked to come up with solutions to the many problems, no one person has a solution, but only wants to blame the others. The lacking of empowerment over the division has depleted the team support. The management team is not working together as a whole. The retiring of Ben Wedemeyer has caused a lot of disruption among the team. They don’t understand why? The team is not used to being included in the everyday business, due to Charlie’s grandfather making all the decisions regarding business at the company. Consequently Charlie would benefit from the resources of his grandfather, which could result in handling the company’s problems more efficiently.
