Winchester plant earns certification
Ardagh Group announced last week that its Winchester Plant has received ISO 14001:2004 Certification.
The certification is considered the international standard for environmental management.
“The ISO 14001:2004 Certification is a significant accomplishment for our Winchester facility, and is a direct reflection of Ardagh Group’s commitment to achieving our environmental initiatives,” said John Riordan, President and CEO of Ardagh Group, Glass – North America, in a press release. “We are dedicated to being environmental leaders in the communities where we live and do business.”
Fourteen other Ardagh facilities, including the glass manufacturing plant in Dunkirk, had already received the certification.
JCDC events set
Jay County Development Corporation executive director Bill Bradley will speak at a luncheon Tuesday and the organization has set its Christmas open house for Dec. 6.

Seeking to recover
Walgreens is seeking to recover $140 million from a blood-testing company, alleging that the firm misled it about thousands of test results.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Walgreens is alleging that Theranos Inc. voided more than 11 percent of all blood-test reports provided to Walgreens customers.
A partnership between the giant drugstore chain and the Silicon Valley laboratory firm lasted just one year.
“The breach-of-contract lawsuit filed by Walgreens alleges that Theranos misled Walgreens both before their blood-testing partnership was forged and over the past year as the testing firm faced growing questions about its technology and operations,” The Journal reported.
Spicy Big Mac
McDonald’s continues to try out new tastes and new recipes to meet its customers changing demands.
The latest is a Sriracha Big Mac which is now being test-marketed in 126 stores in central Ohio.
Adding the Asian chili to the famous “special sauce” on a Big Mac is expected to provide a bolder flavor.
The sauce will also be available for fries and Chicken McNuggets at the test-market stores.
The certification is considered the international standard for environmental management.

Other menu changes in recent years include the supersized Big Mac known as a Grand Mac and a downsized version called a Mac Jr. Both of those were test-marketed in central Ohio this spring, and they may pop up nationally on a limited-time basis in 2017.
