LAS VEGAS — At this year’s International Baking Industry Exposition (IBIE), cannabis experts will flex their knowledge of the budding industry through an array of education sessions.
On Sunday, Sept. 18, Tara Froemming, marketing specialist for Healthy Food Ingredients, will present “The Future of Hemp Cannabinoid Innovation: How Brands Can Meet Safety, Quality and Efficacy Standards.” And at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 20, Hilary Brown, director of technical and analytical services for SōRSE Technology, will zero in on safety, quality, and usage of cannabis ingredients for baked goods.
For many attendees, this will be their first foray into cannabis as an ingredient, and one session, led by president and CEO of The Vivid Team, Jessica Cristadoro, at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 18, will focus on just that. “There are many different formats to consider,” she said. “There’s oil, there’s butter, there’s isolate, distillate, crude. What does it all mean? And why should you care?”
