General Observations
www.ifosprogram.comwww.nutrasource.ca
• Companies are providing very similar marketing messages within categories
• Companies do not see the ROI on clinical trials or similar larger budget research and development
• Companies see the FDA, EFSA and Health Canada as an adversary instead of an ally
• Companies fight the tightening of the regulatory environment instead of using it for marketing leverage

3 Unique Case Studies: > Food
> Raw material ingredient> Dietary supplement

Case 1: Seafood Situation
www.ifosprogram.comwww.nutrasource.ca
• Company provided fresh seafood meals to the cruise line industry
• A rogue employee set up down the street began taking market share up to ~30%
• Regular marketing using terms like “fresh,” “natural,” “delicious”• Traditional marketing was not working

Case 1: Product-Specific Data Difference
www.ifosprogram.comwww.nutrasource.ca
• Stability testing to demonstrate novel production process gave an additional 3 days shelf life over competitor
• Regulatory and nutritional analysis assessment to provide insight to more aggressive claims around EPA and DHA levels in seafood dishes
• Define reported adverse events profile from FDA in the public record to show low frequency of issues and strong lack of illness track record (over 1 billion meals served and only 10 reported events to the FDA)
