Pre- & Probiotics 2012 is the second edition of the virtual event covering the latest pre- and probiotic trends and strategies for the food, beverage and dietary supplements industries.
On Wednesday 01st February 2012, food and beverage developers from all over the world connected with industry experts and ingredients suppliers during this 6 hour online event. We saw a 40% increase on last year’s attendance with more than 3,400 registrants and 1,797 (53%) of which attended the interactive live broadcast. These registration and attendance figures show a high level of interest in Pre- & Probiotics 2012.
We would like to thank all that took part in this event for your contribution to the successful outcome.
The team at Pre-&Probiotics2012.
Probiotics may have taken some time to seep into consumer consciousness, especially in the US, but digestive health last year entered the top three fastest growing functional food categories. And with developments in science and technology also come greater opportunities to widen the category beyond the traditional dairy application.
The ever-prevalent interest in products that can help boost the body's defence and the direct manner in which gut health benefits are felt has fortified a €12bn+ category.
Regulatory uncertainly in Europe and a string of high-profile lawsuits in the US has made firms much more cautious about making health claims about probiotics.
The Pre- & Probiotics 2012 Virtual Conference will assess this ever-developing but highly critical scenario from both the scientific and regulatory point of view.
