Welcome to

Global Food Forums’ Clean Label Website

Global Food Forums, Inc. (GFF) will cease its operations and will no longer be hosting the Clean Label Conference, Protein Trends & Technologies Seminar, or Sweetener Systems Conference. The GFF website(s) will be posted for a short while, and some of their content will move to FoodTrendsNTech.com, which is now under development.

We want to thank the many stakeholders in the company. From attendees to sponsors and exhibitors to the staff and independent contractors, they have empowered this company to have an extraordinarily successful run over the last dozen years.
