FIX*!
Jeff Clawson

 

 

Please plan to attend FIX this year. We have a great technical session about salt, sweeteners, and baking enzymes that starts at 1pm. The expo floor opens at 4 pm and will be full of suppliers to the food industry – they can help you find anything you may need to run your business. There will be a free buffet and cheese trays as well as no-host drinks. Tell your friends in the food industry who may be interested in attending. Register at http://www.ift.org/sections/oregon/FIX/Guests.htm.
