Beyond the First Bite: The Sensory Journey of the Consumer

This event is organised by the IFST Sensory Science Group

Speakers will talk about the sensory journey the consumer goes on and the choices at different moments, as well as the emotional journey.  This ultimately enables the design of products the consumer wants, that meet the consumer expectation at the different touch points, and also product experiences that really fit into people's lives.

There will be a workshop  following the presentations and tours of the BAT sensory facility will be offered.

Transforming food systems for those on low incomes

This event is organised by IFST Food Science and Nutrition Special Interest Group

Obesity and poor diets are strongly associated with lower socioeconomic status. This seminar will explore this issue, along with the latest research trying to find practical solutions to address inequalities. The British Nutrition Foundation will provide an overview of the issues regarding accessing adequate nutrient intake for those in lower socioeconomic groups.
