SUPPLY SIDE WEST, LAS VEGAS

Last week (6-10 November), Rosanna Pecere (Executive Director IPA Europe) attended Supply Side West (SSW) 2018 – where strategy meets science – in Las Vegas. At this event, leaders in dietary supplement, beverage, functional food, personal care and sports nutrition shared expertise in product development for the global economy. To facilitate navigation, IPA provided the IPA Probiotics Guide for SSW, which included detailed information on the IPA Probiotics Resource Center. Through the IPA workshop on 10 November on “Probiotic Product Development: A Need-To-Know Guide Before Taking That First Step”, a better understanding was gained of strain selection, research insights and the FDA Food Safety Modernisation Act (FSMA) designed to make clear specific actions that must be taken to ensure the safety of the food supply among many different points in the global supply chain.
