Food Quality & Safety magazine is pleased to announce FONA International as the winner of the 15th annual Food Quality & Safety Award. This prestigious honor recognizes the dedication and achievement of an organization that has made significant improvements in its safety and quality assurance department or program.

Founded in 1987, FONA International creates and produces flavors for various food and nutritional companies worldwide. The organization offers flavor solutions for the confection, grain, beverage, performance nutrition, over-the-counter, and emerging markets from its 33-acre campus in Geneva, Ill.
