Tyson Foods forecasts strong future performance. Also this week: Foodservice Packaging Institute, Heineken USA, Häagen-Dazs, Icelandic USA Inc., Manitowoc Foodservice, Libra Foundation, Naturally Potatoes, and HotSchedules Enterprise

This is a special message from Tyson.

Some pundits say the economy is showing hints of improvement and consumers are spending a bit more. While foodservice operators may find that encouraging, most would say this is no time to let up. It is wiser to upgrade the menu with items of continuing consumer appeal. Take sandwiches, particularly ones made with chicken, a protein of growing importance today.
