IFT
We took our trusty notepads, pens, and filming equipment to New Orleans for the IFT Annual Meeting and Food Expo. Jeff HIlton (above) from the Integrated Marketing Group discussed the rise of sea buckthorn, Dr Ed Zambraski from the US Army discussed concerns over "excess of supplements being taken by soldiers", Samy Jandali, VP of nutrition and health North America - BASF talked about the Cognis integration and predicted more M&A activity for the nutrition segment, and BI Nutraceuticals' George Pontiakos talked about getting more bang for your buck in functional foods.
