Featuring top-billing experts and speakers, including Urban Legend founder Anthony Fletcher, as well as Amai Proteins founder and CEO, Dr Ilan Samish – plus more – the webinar will focus on the existing, new and emerging challenges and solutions to reducing sugar in food and drink.
Over four short sessions, including a panel discussion, experts will delve into the detail of why consumers are turned on or off to certain ingredients, what tech manufacturers need to speed up reduction methods and what the next food and drink focus areas are.
A focus on natural or clean-label sweeteners will explore the pros and cons of this currently imperfect solution and how it’s being set up for growth.
Learnings from the soft drinks category – an area that’s already removed significant amounts of sugar from its products – will be divulged, including what soft drinks got wrong and what’s standing in the way of further progress.
