Experts from CRN, UNPA, NOW Foods, FoodState / MegaFood, and The Shelton Group will discuss the vital issue of transparency during our free-to-attend online forum. There is still time to register to attend this important discussion!

Many industry experts and observers have said that transparency should be a priority for the dietary supplements industry​, and could be one answer to dealing with the negative press.

The NutraIngredients-USA Transparency in Dietary Supplements​ online forum to be held this Thursday, Feb. 11, at 11 AM Eastern time, will explore questions such as what transparency really means, how difficult it is to achieve, and who ultimately benefits.

It also explores how the rising tide of transparency might change the industry, putting pressure in particular on traditional ingredient brokers for whom a certain level of confidentiality about their sources of supply may no longer be appropriate in the modern marketplace.

The forum, moderated by NutraIngredients-USA’s senior correspondent Hank Schultz, includes the following speakers:

Robert Craven,​ CEO of Food State, makers of the Megafood line of whole food supplements, who has made transparency and traceability a core part of the brand’s message;

Jim Emme,​ CEO of NOW Foods, a company that was built on delivering quality at a mid-level price point and as such has had to deal for years with questions about how it has been able to do that and where it sources reasonably-priced ingredients;

Suzanne Shelton,​ principal of the Chicago-based firm The Shelton Group, who has long advocated for increasing industry transparency

Steve Mister,​ President and CEO of the Council for Responsible Nutrition

Loren Israelsen,​ President of the United Natural Products Alliance
