2019 Clean Label Conference  

Title: Behind the Label: Clean Label “Musts” for the Ingredient Supply-Chain 

Description: Transparency is a basic concept of the clean label phenomena. Consumers want to know what is in their food and where it came from. This presentation touches on unexpected research findings on consumer attitudes toward organic, non-GMO, and other food traits. Using one certification process as groundwork for what is important in ingredient supply-chain documentation, it will do a deep-dive into five key requirements when products make non-GMO, gluten free, plant-based or other “clean label” claims. Using these core concepts in supply-chain management helps ensure that attendees will know what is in their products, which is good for their company and its customers.
