Chris, Haithum and Demetrius were able to keep the impacted formulas in
production by exhaustively searching through our network of distributors to locate a
few more drums of the discontinued raw material, working with key stakeholders to
build product inventory and then quickly updating the formulas and labels to remove
the raw material before finished good and vegetable protein supplies ran out.
