	Here is the July issue of FOOD LABEL NEWS

Edit


	Welcome! The 57th annual Summer Fancy Food Show was a huge success! Exhibitors were thrilled with the new venue at the Washington, DC Convention Center and the traffic and high quality of buyers were praised. There were 2,400 exhibitors from over 80 countries and it was stunning. We spent a lot of time in the Member Candidate's aisle and met many specialty food producers who had "arrived at the big time". You will be hearing their "stories" on their journey in future issues in our mini-case studies. Did you attend this Show? What did you like? What didn't you like? What was "the" new product? Share your "WOW" factor. We also picked up some new ideas on how to update and revamp our monthly newsletter. Tell us what you think!
