Brothers International acquires ingredient supplier – Produce Blue Book - Produce Blue Book

November 30th, 2021 — Brothers International Food, LLC BB #:205040, based in Rochester, NY, is pleased to announce its recent acquisition of Dennick FruitSource, based in Tampa, FL.

The combination of Brothers and Dennick will allow these two leading B2B ingredients companies to significantly expand and diversify their combined customer base and global supplier network. The companies operate very similar business models, as value-added suppliers of tropical fruit juices, concentrates, and purees to global CPG companies.

With minimal current overlap between each company’s customers and suppliers, this transaction allows for significant growth potential through cross selling opportunities, including growth opportunities for each company’s suppliers as Brothers and Dennick expand their product portfolio into a much broader and more diversified set of end channels and customers.

The combined business will be led by Travis Betters, Founder and CEO of Brothers. Dennis Moncur and Nick Filuta, Co-Founders of Dennick, will continue in their current roles with the larger organization and as ongoing minority owners.

Nick Filuta and Mike DeLaurentis, VP of Ingredients for Brothers will lead the combined salesforce and all commercial relationships. Dennick’s team of experienced employees will all continue in their respective roles moving forward.

Both Brothers and Dennick will retain their trademarks and brand names, and continue to operate from Rochester, NY and Tampa Bay, Florida, respectively.

“I am excited about Dennick’s continued growth potential in partnership with Brothers,” said Dennick Co-Founder Dennis Moncur. “Brothers proved to be an exceptional acquiror, and Nick and I look forward to working with Travis and his team to maximize the potential of this combination for our customers, suppliers and employees.”

Dennick Co-Founder Nick Filuta added, “Soon after Brothers approached us with the idea to join forces, it became very clear to Dennis and me that the whole would be greater than the sum of its parts. While we operate very similar businesses in the fragmented B2B fruit ingredients space, we do not share any material customer or supplier relationships, which creates tremendous growth opportunity moving forward.”

“Dennis, Nick and their employees have built a terrific company with outstanding and long-tenured customer and supplier relationships,” said Brothers Founder and CEO, Travis Betters. “We cannot imagine a better strategic fit for Brothers’ first add-on acquisition, and, with this larger and stronger team, we look forward to exploring the acquisition of additional B2B ingredients companies in the years ahead.”

Brothers International Food, LLC

Brothers is a portfolio company of Benford Capital Partners (“Benford Capital” or “BCP”), a Chicago-based private equity firm founded in 2004 and focused on buying and building lower middle market companies in partnership with founders and management. Benford Capital invested in Brothers as a platform acquisition in December 2020 to pursue add-ons of B2B ingredient and health snacking companies.

Brothers is based in Rochester, New York with offices in Shanghai, China, and Quito, Ecuador. The company was founded in 2000 by brothers Travis and Matthew Betters, whose family have been passionately involved in the processed fruit and vegetable industry for more than 70 years. Brothers has two operating divisions: Healthy Snacks (under the Brothers All Natural and Harvester Farms brands) and Ingredients Division. Brothers International Food Ingredients Division is a full-service direct importer, distributor, and supplier of bulk packaged ingredients for the food and beverage industry. Brothers All Natural is the only Disney licensee to produce freeze-dried products for over ten years, and when introduced was named Disney’s Best New Product of the Year.

Dennick has used their years of experience to deliver exceptional customer service and value to fruit processors and food manufacturers, sourcing fruit juices, concentrates, and purees since 2000.

Missing Ingredient: The Holiday Cocktail - The Source Weekly

Buy local. Buy gifts of experience. These are just some of the mantras one might hear from a certain type of shopper this time of year.

Anti-Vaxxer Who Treated His COVID Infection With Bleach Ingredient Dies - Newsweek

A prominent Austrian anti-vaccination advocate who said he attempted to treat his COVID-19 infection with a substance found in some bleach products has died after suffering complications from the disease.

Johann Biacsics, one of the leaders of the anti-vaccination movement in the country, reportedly contracted COVID-19 in October and said he began administering himself with a product containing chlorine dioxide, a substance that is touted by some as a treatment for the disease as well as many other ailments

In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has previously warned consumers not to purchase or drink chlorine dioxide products sold online as medical treatments because the agency is not aware of any credible scientific evidence supporting their safety or effectiveness.

In addition, these products pose a significant risk to the health of people who consume them, according to the agency.

A post on Biacsics' personal website made the claim that taking the chlorine dioxide (CDL) product successfully treated his infection.

"I took CDL and also made high-dose CDL enemas," the post said. "As it turned out later, I successfully fought COVID 19 with it. The self-tests I had done were all negative."

But the 65-year-old's condition worsened significantly and he was admitted to hospital in early November after experiencing low oxygen levels and difficulty breathing. Medical staff at the hospital administered a PCR test, which came up positive, German weekly Die Zeit reported.

Biacsics refused the treatment plan that doctors offered him, convinced that he had beaten the acute infection. Eventually, he decided to leave the hospital, calling his son who picked him up and took him home.

Biacsics ordered everything he needed to administer chlorine dioxide infusions to himself. But just two days later, he passed away. It is not clear whether Biacsics' consumption of CDL contributed to his death.

Biacsics had previously made false claims that chlorine dioxide could be used to treat COVID-19 infections.

According to the FDA, consuming products that contain chlorine dioxide can potentially be "life-threatening."

Consumption of these products can lead to serious adverse events including respiratory failure, changes in the electrical activity of the heart, life-threatening low blood pressure caused by dehydration, acute liver failure, low blood cell counts, severe vomiting and severe diarrhea.

Chlorine is commonly used to disinfect drinking water and it is safe for this purpose when used in very small amounts. When used in large quantities, however, it can be dangerous.

Three-ingredient biscuit recipe drives home that not all flours are created equal - Yahoo News

Easy Three-Ingredient Mayonnaise Biscuits

A three-ingredient biscuit recipe in a Christmas event booklet made me question what I knew about a very basic ingredient: flour.

The booklet was published for the 2003 Weihnachtsmarkt, a Christmas shopping event benefiting the Sophienburg Museum in New Braunfels. Patty's Favorite Biscuits, named in honor of Patty Pope, calls for self-rising flour, milk and – a surprise to me – mayonnaise.

That condiment replaces the butter, shortening or lard usually included in biscuit recipes.

Research showed that the mayo-for-fat substitution was popular with a lot of cooks, especially those in the South who had a penchant for self-rising flour.

Self-rising flour contains baking powder and salt. Eliminating the measuring of those two ingredients makes self-rising flour a time-saver when in a hurry for scratch-made biscuits and pancakes.

I grew up in an all-purpose flour house, where my mom thought the measuring of salt and baking powder was no big deal and eliminated having two kinds of flour in her small kitchen.

I always thought the flour in both self-rising and all-purpose was the same. So, in my research of how to substitute all-purpose flour in a recipe for self-rising flour, I discovered my assumption had caveats, depending on the producer.

For example, King Arthur Baking Company states on its website that its all-purpose and self-rising flours have slightly varying amounts of protein. That molecular component impacts the flour's gluten, which in turns affects the elasticity of the dough.

Gold Medal flour did not specify on its website the protein percentages of its flours. I made the mayonnaise biscuits with Gold Medal self-rising and all-purpose flours, adding salt and baking soda to the latter, and the biscuits seemed identical in texture, rise and fluffiness.

This recent deep dive into baking drove home the point that flours are not created alike. Variations in fiber, protein and gluten content lead to one type of flour being better for cakes, while another shines in pizza doughs.

A detailed explanation on those different flours starts with the wheat and its variety, harvesting and processing. That takes more time than space here allows.

I can offer, however, the following suggestions that help take some of the complexity out of baking basic goodies at home.

► Visit flour manufacturers' websites for specific recipes crafted for their flour varieties. Test kitchens for top brands such as Bob's Red Mill, Gold Medal, King Arthur Baking Company and White Lily offer tried-and-true instructions for common and artisan breads and baked goods.

► All-purpose flour is appropriate for cookies, pie crusts, quick breads and muffins. It also works as the dredge used to coat chicken, pounded round steak and other dry foods for frying.

► Use the flour specified in a recipe. If the recipe is from an old cookbook and lists "flour" in the ingredients, odds are all-purpose flour will work.

► Store all-purpose flour in a cool, dry place in a cupboard and use by suggested date on packaging. For longer shelf life, all-purpose flour can be stored in the freezer.

► Baking powder and salt can be added to all-purpose flour to make at home a substitute for self-rising flour. The measurements are 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt for 1 cup of flour.

► As a general rule, do not substitute self-rising flour for all-purpose flour.

As for Patty's Favorite Biscuits, the recipe yielded a pretty good biscuit for butter and honey or a sausage patty breakfast sandwich. It also would hold up well under a slathering of scratch-made cream gravy.

I've changed the name to what it commonly is called: Easy Three-Ingredient Mayonnaise Biscuits. I doubt most people would be able to tell the difference between it and a biscuit made with the other typical fats.

What I liked about this version is that it makes a small batch of six biscuits. That's ideal in a two-person household. But, it is easily scalable to more servings when necessary.

Easy Three-Ingredient Mayonnaise Biscuits

Ingredients

1 cup self-rising flour (plus about 1/4 cup more to flour the kneading surface)

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup milk (or buttermilk)

Directions

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a pie plate or small baking sheet with butter and set aside.

2. In a medium mixing bowl, add 1 cup flour. Add the mayonnaise and milk and stir gently until combined into a dough.

3. Spread the additional flour on the kneading surface. Dump the dough onto the prepared surface and gently fold the dough onto itself several times until it is no longer sticky. (Add more flour to the kneading surface, if necessary.) Avoid overworking the dough, which will release more glutens, leading to firmer, flatter biscuits.

4. Use your fingers or a rolling pin to gently flatten the dough to about 1/2- to 3/4-inch thickness. Cut into biscuits. Place the biscuits, sides touching, on the prepared pie plate or baking sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until golden brown. Yields about 6 biscuits, depending on circumference of cutting tool.
