The Ingredients Show, part of the UK Food & Drink Shows, has been postponed until 5-7 July 2021 in response to the UK government’s latest efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19.

In a statement, the UK Food & Drink Shows, which include Food & Drink Expo, Farm Shop & Deli Show, , Foodex, National Convenience Show and The Forecourt Show will take place later this year at the NEC in Birmingham.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has tested our business as it has the businesses of our exhibitors and visitors and we’re delighted we have managed to secure new dates in July at the NEC,” comments Andrew Reed, Managing Director, Events & Exhibitions for William Reed.

“No one is better placed or more experienced to deliver safe and inspiring live events, and no other event in 2021 will have the laser guided sector focus, breadth of exhibitors, content and innovation.

“We look forward to the summer as a time of great celebration, of new ways of thinking, new products, new attitudes and a new start for our industry. We can’t wait to once again welcome exhibitors and visitors to the NEC in Birmingham.”

Now in its third year, The Ingredients Show, in association with NutraIngredients, showcases the kinds of ingredients, service and solutions that are currently driving the food and nutrition agenda.

As part of the William Reed family of events, publications and awards, the stable of shows are united by four overarching themes: Health & Nutrition, Sustainability, Technology and Consumer.
