IFT FIRST Trade show 2024: A NEW EXPERIENCE
St. Charles Trading was thrilled to participate in the IFT FIRST Show 2024, held at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL. Our newly designed booth showcased our latest services and commitment to innovation, attracting numerous attendees and industry professionals.
During the event, we had the pleasure of connecting with our esteemed clients and suppliers, as well as forging new relationships within the food industry.
IFT First: Bringing Companies Together
The IFT FIRST Show 2024 brought together over 16,000 attendees and more than 1,000 exhibitors, offering a platform for scientific learning and networking. Key discussions revolved around artificial intelligence’s transformative impact on food science, the importance of understanding ultra-processed foods, and the necessity of partnerships to address global food challenges.
We were particularly impressed by the emphasis on “clean label” solutions, reflecting a consumer shift towards transparency and simplicity in food ingredients. This aligns with our mission to provide high-quality, natural ingredients that meet the evolving needs of our customers.
A Lasting Impression on the 2024 Trade Show

Our team left the event inspired to implement the insights gained to better serve our partners and clients. We were even featured by the publishers of Milling & Baking News and Baking Business! We look forward to future opportunities to collaborate and innovate within the food industry.
