From the Field to the Market:
Supply Chain Challenges for Sourcing Herbal Ingredients
With recent issues surrounding contaminated raw materials, ingredient
traceability has become the next poster child of the dietary supplements
industry for the media. Companies must become more proactive in tracking ingredients from seed to
shelf. The industry must shift its procurement philosophy from PPV to total cost of
quality. Quality assurance must begin at the origin - with suppliers. Join George
Pontiakos as he discusses supply chain challenges for sourcing herbal
ingredients.

Perspectives: Consumer Trends in Food and Health
New data from the International Food Information Council (IFIC) Foundation’s
second Food and Health survey and IFIC’s latest Functional Foods survey
provide rich, new findings to examine how Americans are feeling about their
health, and the foods and beverages they consume as part of their diet. Attend
this session to learn whether continued concerns about overweight and obesity
translate into more healthful behaviors. Other questions to be answered include:
What motivates consumers to improve their lifestyles? Which foods and food
components are consumers trying to eat more or less of? Does personalized
nutrition offer a solution? And do consumers link the amount of physical
activity they need to their diet?
Speaker: David B. Schmidt, president and CEO, International Food
Information Council; CEO, International Food Information Council Foundation

this session to learn how to develop the tan you love while making it last
longer by using nature’s gifts.
Speaker: Deborah Pierce, vice president of research and
