Supplements and nutrition is one sector that continues to grow. Innovation and new concepts are key drivers for the increase in consumer spend in this area. Have you ever wondered what you need to consider to create your own food supplement and drive new business into this sector and for your company?
Join us online for our next Food Supplements Special Interest Group (SIG) to hear about what you should consider. We will cover the nutrients, additives, container closure (your pack), your claims (what you can and cannot say), pilot scale manufacture, validation, commercial scale manufacture, stability and customer complaints.
As part of this brief overview, you can take part in a question and answer session, with the panel, Nick Bennett (Chrysalis Health & Beauty) and Janet Worrell (Jenson R+ Limited).
