Site reviews
Home site of the Sanitarium Health Food Company
A great site for most HSC topics, this contains up to date, relevant
information. Our story gives a profile of the company
including: product base; employment; export markets; and corporate
vision. Product information has a marketing/product development
slant and provides detailed ingredient lists. The Vegetarian
recipes are also useful. School project information
provides information on manufacturing for a number of different
products at both primary and secondary student levels. One of
the internal links in this section, The story of Sanitarium
TVP (textured vegetable protein), contains a flow diagram
which is particularly worthwhile. J. Redfern

Vegemite rules
The Australian innovation of Vegemite yeast extract is presented
on this site. It has a time line, which provides information
about the inventors, and profiles the marketing and growth of
Vegemite since its conception. The site is relevant for students
of the Design and Technology: Stage 6 syllabus (approved
1999), as it details the historical development of marketing
techniques, the trademark and the package over 75 years. The
site also has relevant nutritional information, Recipes,
many photographs, animation, and an individual Growth chart.
