AI You Can Act On: Smarter Decisions for Food & Beverage R&D
Hosted by Food Dive
One ingredient change can set off a whole chain of questions: Will it affect labeling? Meet regulatory requirements? Create issues in other markets? And what about the rest of your product lineup?
If you’re in food and beverage R&D, you know reformulation is more than finding a quick answer. With regulations changing, ingredient costs fluctuating and consumer expectations constantly shifting, connecting all those dots can feel like a job in itself.
So how can AI help? Join Wes Frierson, VP of Enterprise Solutions at FoodChain ID, to explore how purpose-built AI can help your team see the bigger picture, catch potential issues earlier and make more confident product decisions.
