Abstract: Embodiments of caseless container trays are disclosed. In an embodiment, a caseless container tray includes a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface is configured to contact and receive base portions of a first plurality of containers. The top surface includes a plurality of top projections configured to divide the first plurality of containers into a plurality of rows. The bottom surface is configured to contact and receive spouts of a second plurality of containers. Furthermore, the bottom surface includes a plurality of bottom projections extending from the bottom surface, wherein a bottom surface of each bottom projection is configured to contact a shoulder portion of a container of the second plurality of containers and wherein each projection surrounds a center portion configured to contact and receive a spout.

Abstract: A device is adapted to be coupled to a conveyor system and recondition at least one chain of the conveyor system. The device includes a base and at least one attachment element coupled to the base. The attachment element is adapted to detachably couple the device to the conveyor system. At least one reconditioning element is coupled to the base, and the reconditioning element is adapted to engage and recondition the chain as the chain moves relative to the reconditioning element. At least one biasing element is coupled to the reconditioning element, and the biasing element urges the reconditioning element away from the base and into engagement with the chain.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a reduced fat food product includes a base system and a fat-mimicking system that imparts a characteristic associated with a higher fat content food product. The base system includes one or more ingredients selected from the group consisting of dairy ingredients, water, juices, oils, sweeteners, vitamins, minerals, nutrients, flavors, colorants, and preservatives. The fat-mimicking system includes microcrystalline cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and one or more buffering agents. The reduced fat food product is substantially free of an additional emulsifier.

Abstract: There is provided a plastic container having a bottom portion, side wall portions, and a top wall portion. The side wall portions include four face panels, and four somewhat narrower in width connector panels connected at their vertical sides to one side of each one of the face panels, respectively. The connection of the four face panels and the four connector panels forms an octagon. There is an area in each side wall portion between the bottom portion and the top wall portion which is indented inwardly a slight amount. Within the area of the indented portion there is a plurality of concave horizontal ribs circumscribing at least part way around the side wall portion. The top wall portion extends from the side wall portions and merges to a neck which defines an outlet for the container. The container includes a round handle which combats weakness during light weighting. On the shoulder of the top wall portion approaching the neck there are raised supports which improve top loading.
