Last week, we celebrated the 2019 JCS Food and Beverage Forum. The forum took place from Wednesday, September 17^th-19^th in Rochester, NY.  The event had diverse participation of attendees from companies in the dairy, isotonic drinks, juice,  plant-based products and beverages in general. This year’s program encompassed sessions to gain valuable information on the latest trends and challenges in product standardization and processing, shelf-life extension, overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), and food safety.
