The 2017 AFFI Frozen Food Convention (AFFI-CON), March 4 – 7 is the frozen food and beverage industry’s premiere business networking convention in the US. Organized annually by the American Frozen Food Institute, the event is attended by over 1,400 industry professionals and brings together processors, logistics providers, suppliers, retailers and foodservice distributors and operators from all sectors of the frozen food and beverage industry, to conduct business meetings and learn about key industry issues.

“An engaging panel of experts from different realms of the food industry will paint a picture of what’s on the horizon for food labeling,” the organizers say.
Maya Wilson, ESHA, will review particularly important aspects of the new revisions to the Nutrition Facts Label, and provide implementation and compliance tips and tricks.
