An engaging panel discussion on one of the biggest trends this year: personalization in food innovation.
  • List Price: Free
Meeting Details :

Personalized nutrition, it is a fad or the way of the future? One of the biggest trends this year in food innovation is in personalization. From apps that can deliver micronutrient and vitamin deficiency data anywhere, any time to “wearables” synched to a huge database that uses AI and machine learning to track nutrition and behavior data and suggest personalized recipes or menus, there is a convergence of nutrition and technology. This discussion will explore the promises of personalized nutrition as well as what food product, sensory, manufacturer, and marketing professionals need to consider as they work together to develop future food products for consumers and whether investing in this technology will help them retain customers or better yet, grab a larger percentage of their market share.

IFT is happy to work in coordination with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics to host this exciting conversation. Please join us!
