Kicking Off with Trends, Transparency and What’s Next
Welcome to the debut episode of the Industry Transparency Podcast! Join Len Monheit (CEO of ITC, Executive Director of GPA and CSA) and Steve Imgrund (Marketing & Communications Director) as they unpack key takeaways from Vitafoods Europe 2025, a show that brought new energy, international reach, and candid conversations about the future of the health ingredients industry.

- Shifts in formulation and regulatory expectations, and why brand trust increasingly depends on transparency.
- A fresh comparison between legacy shows like SupplySide and the reinvigorated Vitafoods in Barcelona.
