CHICAGO, IL— From July 14-16, food and beverage industry professionals, educators, executives, and government officials from around the world will gather at McCormick Place in Chicago for The Institute of Food Technologists, IFT First Annual Event & Expo, the largest global food science and innovation expo of its kind.
With over 1,000 exhibitors in attendance, IFT First helps connect experts and decision-makers from all corners of the food value chain, showcasing the innovative ingredients, technologies, and solutions that are shaping the industry’s future.
As always, Edlong will be there with a full suite of delicious demos featuring authentic tastes and the latest in flavor technology.
“With this year’s demos, we really wanted to focus on the core of who Edlong is and what we have to offer our customers and their consumers,” explains Angie Lantman, Applications Manager, NA.
She continues, “When people stop by our booth at IFT, they’re not only getting to try some of the world’s most authentic dairy and dairy-type flavors, but they’ll also get to experience firsthand some of our cutting-edge technologies. These include sodium enhancement, masking of off-notes in plant-based products and commodity reductions.”
Additionally, Lantman expresses that at this year’s show, Edlong also wants to highlight its expansive catalog of sweet brown flavors.
“For over 100 years, Edlong has been known for innovative technologies and mastering the authentic taste of dairy, but many people are just starting to find out about our equally delicious and indulgent sweet brown flavors. We want to take advantage of this opportunity to show how well these pair with our other dairy and dairy-type flavors, and ]just how great these profiles are on their own.”
