In the wake of Milan's Expo world
fair in 2015, the food sector is heading to the Cibus
international fair in Parma from May 9-12, ready to showcase
thousands of new products at the forefront of innovation and the
growing trend for healthy eating.
Organisers Fiere di Parma and Federalimentare said in a
statement that some food products would be making their debut,
while others on display at the event have just come on to the
market at the start of this year. It is due to publish
information about all of them on its website www.cibus.it on
Friday.
Products to feature include ham with sea salt and no
preservatives, salami and cheese spreads, organic Parmesan, and
gluten-free crackers.
Not to mention egg-free mayonnaise, eggs with nutritious
substances such as folic acid and iodine, grey sea salt from the
Atlantic and pasta with organic hemp seeds.
Desserts will also be in the spotlight, including a
ready-made line which is sugar and gluten-free, chocolate cream
with part of its sugar content substituted with carrot, and
Neapolitan pastries which can be conserved for eight months by
means of new technology.
At Cibus - the organisers underline - several dishes will
live up to consumer demands for healthy products: organic,
gluten-free, palm-oil free, vegan and so on. From tuna fillets
with iodised salt, to organic chicken meat balls, on to
vitamin-rich yellow kiwi jam and lactose-free yoghurt. The vegan
options are also varied, from a soy-based line to red rice and
quinoa soup, green vegan pesto and vegan wraps and focaccias.
