A day devoted to fruit and vegetables at SIAL

Exhibitors from some 20 countries show tropical and non-tropical fresh fruitat SIAL 2008 on 21 October.

Consumers’ nutritional concerns and
the European “5-a day” health campaign promoting fruit and
vegetables, and the demand for practicality have led to a burst of
innovation in the fruit and vegetables sector. As in 2006, the SIAL
Trends and Innovations Monitor will turn the spotlight on these new
products.

A new event focusing on fruit and
vegetables will also take place in Hall 4 with the goal of
highlighting food manufacturers’ innovation efforts and future
research avenues driven by the consumer demand for better access to
fruit and vegetables.
