Roundup: Jindal pushes for faster federal seafood testing … Cane’s gets national small business award … Olson named new Zapp’s president

Faster fish: Gov. Bobby Jindal wants the federal government to step up testing of seafood samples from Louisiana waters so the latter can be quickly reopened to commercial fishing. The state opened the areas for sport fishing a week ago. But Jindal and Louisiana seafood industry leaders complained Monday that the Food and Drug Administration is too slow in testing the samples. Jindal held a news conference at a Kenner seafood-processing plant that is running out of inventory because of the closure of waters to commercial fishing, occasioned by the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Cane’s scores: Raising Cane’s has received a national SCORE Award as the outstanding socially progressive small business of the year. The Baton Rouge-based chicken tender chain will be honored during a September ceremony in Washington, D.C. The national organization SCORE provides counseling and business workshops for aspiring entrepreneurs and small businesses. Zapp-y news: Rod Olson, the longtime general manager of Zapp’s Potato Chips, has been named president of the company. Olson replaces Zapp’s founder Ron Zappe, who died last month of complications from cancer. Olson started with Zapp’s in July 1985, one month after the company was founded, working as a route salesman selling and stocking chips in grocery stores. He moved up from sales to supervising chip production, and in 1993 he was named general manager. “My vision is uncomplicated and exactly the same as Ron’s: ‘Make great-tasting potato chips at a reasonable price.’ That’s it,” Olson says.
