Cargill at IFT 2013

Cargill news and prototypes will feature themes of childhood nutrition and sustainability

MINNEAPOLIS – June 26, 2013 –Focused on solutions for a healthier future, visitors to Cargill’s booth (#2329) at the 2013 Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) Food Expo will learn more about how the company’s solutions and technical expertise can enable more nutritious kid-friendly foods and beverages and more sustainable supply chains. IFT will take place July 13-16, 2013, at the Chicago McCormick Place South.

With a holistic approach in applying its broad ingredient portfolio and formulation expertise, Cargill food scientists have developed great tasting kid-friendly foods and beverages that contain less sodium, sugar and fat, and more whole grains, fiber and protein in accordance with specific childhood nutrition standards. Many of the prototypes may also allow for claims that are important to parents as they make food and beverage choices for their kids:
