Food Ingredients First has been a leading source of news in the global food and beverage space for over 25 years.

Our founders were early to spot shifts in the food and beverage industry, citing launches like Yakult and Snackwells as the beginning of a “before and after” in the industry, when functional ingredients and their benefits changed food formulation and food marketing forever. These shifts prompted the creation of their print publication, The World of Food Ingredients, and 7 years later, the launch of Food Ingredients First.  

Now, as an independent publisher, we strive to provide in-depth analysis, expert views and exclusive data that promote continued learning and growth in the F&B Industry.  

Our editorial team combines passion with extensive experience to cover FMCG business, policy, new product developments, and insights on the top food and beverage trends shaping consumer needs. We attend the preeminent trade shows and conferences to provide international coverage and key insights from executives, regulators and scientists.  

We offer a wide variety of educational technical papers, reports and webinars covering sustainability, sugar reduction and functional ingredients to keep our readers at the head of the industry.
