Nestlé, EFSA, Arla Foods, Almarai and Arsenal Football Club Share Exclusive Industry Insights Ahead of the Food ingredients 2013 Official Conference

London (ots/PRNewswire) -

Taking place once every 2 years, the 2013 edition of the FiE
Official Conference in Messe Frankfurt from 19-21 November 2013 is
the biggest industry gathering to date. Over 80 expert speakers will
address important trends and innovations that resonate at the core of
the F&B industry today, spanning 20 in-depth modules and 3 focused
master classes which can be tailored around attendance at the
co-located FiE show.

With only 2 weeks to go until the entire F&B industry comes
together for the FiE 2013 Official Conference, we recently caught up
with some of the key players like Nestle, EFSA, Arla Foods, Almarai
and Arsenal Football Club.

Sarah Dowding, Regulatory Affairs Specialist at Nestle, who will
be speaking in Module 3A - Clean Label commented on the current key
trends in Europe:

"A drive towards use of natural and familiar store cupboard
ingredients to 'de-mystify' ingredients lists" is evident, though
notes that this must be coupled with "value offerings at set price
points to make products accessible in economically difficult times".
When asked what she will cover in her conference session, Sarah
states that "I will be drawing on examples of Nestle's work in this
area" and what clean label means "for consumers and for
manufacturers".

'Clean label' is just one of many critical issues being
investigated at the FiE 2013 Official Conference
[http://www.fieconference.com ].

To become better informed, updated, challenged and inspired,
delegates can hear Sarah and many other industry leaders speaking at
Europe's premier food ingredients knowledge forum.
