Vitalog to promote and present Vitalog PSS™ HealthCoach™ Healthy Life Style solutions during this upcoming FOOD AND DRINKS INNOVATION SUMMIT 2008 in Prague on 11 and 12 September
Like many other socio-economical actors in consumer markets, the Food industry is confronted with the huge challenge, if not revolution, to provide consumers with more transparency on nutritional values of their products, improve nutritional quality of their products, not to mention traceability, all of which result in rising costs. In some European countries new regulation obliges the Food industry to communicate about Healthy Lifestyle and Behavior, with focus on healthy food choices and healthy eating, in their communication and marketing campaigns. New generations of aliments are emerging such as “self medication aliments” or “functional foods” creating a new industry trend and market opportunities.
