Opportunities in Clean Label—A Seven Year Comparison: Tuesday, May 14 from 11:00AM - 11:45AM CST
Over 20 years ago, we started our journey to define the connection between health and wellness and consumers as it relates to the foods and beverages they consume—and the direct connection to taste and flavor. In 2016, we commissioned our first nationwide survey to create our baseline of understanding into the clean taste movement, and initially discovered that in no way is clean label a fad and continues to span all categories within the food, beverage, and healthcare industries. This year, we took another deep dive into clean, with a special emphasis on natural flavor. In this webinar, Pamela Oscarson, Senior Manager - Consumer & Market Insight, will take a closer look at the clean label movement and how your brands and products can meet the consumers are their expectations of clean label.

Please note at this time FONA does not accept applications to attend Flavor University classes from employees who work solely with e-cigarette/e-juice products. Knowing that the flavors we sell are not approved for use in these products, we do not feel it’s appropriate to educate you on their use without creating a possible conflict of interest..
