As the 100 delegates filed away into the misty Brussels night, Stephen Daniells and Shane Starling took a moment to share their thoughts on the NutraIngredients Health Claims 2010 conference.

From the detailed, first-hand accounts of health claims success from the likes of Provexis, Unilever and McNeill Nutritionals; to DHA revelations from the EC’s Lars Korsholm; the diplomacy of Danone and the controversial US lawyer, Jonathan Emord, who spelled out why the regulation breaches free speech rights and should be binned, they reflect on a day of valuable insights.
