Solae Discusses Importance of Food Quality and Safety at 5th Dubai International Food Safety Conference

Solae™ soy ingredients help to address Middle East food needs

Dubai, UAE, February 23, 2010

Solae, LLC, the world's leader in developing soy-based technologies and ingredients for nutritious, great-tasting products, will address "Food Safety: Quality, Trust and Integrity" in Session 14 on Wednesday, February 24, from 11.00 to 11.30 am.

"Product quality, including the traceability of ingredients used and sound manufacturing standards, is critical to a company's success," said John Hoffman, Director of Quality Assurance — Solae.

This presentation will discuss the current regulatory environment around food safety and its global implications. Further, Hoffmann will discuss Solae's continued commitment to ensuring quality, trust and integrity of our soy ingredients.

Research shows that consumers are concerned with the source of their food and manufacturing practices used in food processing. These concerns and behaviors can support or detract from brand trust – the trust consumers have in products they purchase.

"The Middle East is taking the food safety challenge seriously with increasing emphasis in the food industry and media coverage on food security goals. As the Middle East develops in this area, advanced technologies and standards that can maintain the integrity of products are required," said Dr. Doris Engesser-Sudlow, Senior Director, Europe — Solae. "Solae sets the industry standard in traceability of its soy ingredients and continually invests in programs, equipment and expertise to strengthen and improve our overall quality and safety programs."

Solae and DuPont Qualicon will host a workshop on "Advancing Global Nutrition and Food Safety" on Wednesday, February 24 in session 17 from 2.00 to 4.00 pm.
