2022 Clean Label Post Conference Magazine cover

In May 2022, Global Food Forums held its first in-person Clean Label Conference since the beginning of the Covid19 pandemic. This publication, the 2022 Clean Label Post Conference Magazine, is based on presentations from that event. Clean label products have short ingredient lists with consumer-friendly names. The concept of clean label products has grown to include trends such as plant-based diets and sustainable food industry practices. Additionally, due to the pandemic and world events like ingredient supply chain disruption, clean label product formulators have wrestled with additional issues in developing clean label products. Speakers at the 2022 Clean Label Conference addressed these topics and much more.
