Reformulate or Be Replaced: The Science, Pressure & Strategy Behind Modern FMCG

Reformulation is no longer damage control - it's a core R&D strategy. As regulators tighten scrutiny and pressures from ingredient bans, commodity volatility, and clean label demands grow, brands must rebuild formulations without compromising efficacy or trust. This session explores how R&D leaders are turning reformulation into a competitive advantage.
