Pamela Sanchez is a raw material quality analyst at the Marion City, Philippines-based Del Valley Fruit Products. She is deeply troubled by a distributor’s discovery — a bulging can. It seems the company’s pineapple was delivered this way, but Sanchez wonders how. This could indicate that there are leaks in the can or that bacteria have colonized inside. This is a serious matter and she and her team will have to get to the bottom of it. They also must find a solution, but which alternative packaging material will do the job?
