Tobacco unit at RJR to cut 17% of jobs

Article Abstract:

RJR Nabisco and Nabisco Holdings continue to restructure and cut jobs as markets continue to deteriorate. In particular, Russia's economy turned out worse than expected and the company will cut 17% of the tobacco-related jobs, mostly in Russia and former Soviet Union countries. This means 2,900 jobs there and about 1,300 in the U.S. The food unit will also cut back, letting 3% of the workforce go, or 1,500 people. Nabisco Holdings will close plants in Canada, Latin America, Asia and Europe.

A wine label with a bouquet of controversy

Article Abstract:

Canadaigua Brands of Fairport, N.Y., is taking liberties with it's Almaden labels again and has got the industry up in arms. Instead of leaving the words "natural flavors" on the side under "ingredients" the misleading words appear on the front of the packaging. What consumers don't realize is that it simply means water and/or sugar has been added, not that the wine is chemical- or additive-free.
