Ou-Dean Foods on 2/24

After lunch at a Japanese-style restaurant, we visited Rotarian "Mocca" -- he and his wife own Ou-Dean Foods, a large beverage company. We watched a video about their products and toured the bottling factory. They can produce 500,000 bottles a day of up to 10 different products, and run 24/7. Most of the labor for this and other Taiwan factories are migrant workers from Indonesia and Thailand and other countries. These products are distributed around the world, but difficult to find in the US. We got to taste test a few of these products including canned coffee (with or without milk and sugar!), flavored teas, tomato/veggie juice, and a few drinks made with pulpy-aloe and either lemon or mango juice!
