As you might already know many food companies have become victims of cybercrimes recently. It’s not surprising that hackers would take advantage of certain vulnerabilities in their systems. As Vijay Vaidyanathan, the Regional Vice President – Solutions Engineering, APJ at Claroty says, the food manufacturing industry has low maturity in terms of cybersecurity. An interview with Mr Vaidyanathan on page 6 will help companies understand the issues and how to protect themselves as they further adopt digital technology.In new ingredients, many have been introduced in the past month, from the attractive powder colours of GNT to the acid-stable natural blue from Fermentalg and partner DDW.
