You say aspartame. I say monk fruit.

You say high fructose corn syrup. I say GMO-free evaporated cane juice.

You say wheat. I say gluten-free.

You say milk. I say Silk.

You say Red #40. I say lycopene.

You say DARK Act because GMOs are the same, natural even. I scream transparency!

At the annual Institute of Food Technologists show in Chicago, July 12-14, you get the unique opportunity to see suppliers at all ends of the spectrum, from the trending clean label ingredients to the tried-and- ... well ... -false ingredients we call "dirty label."
