“Most of our member companies wanted to stay open, and were staying open under the assumption that they were a part of either the food sector or the health care sector,” said Steve Mister, president and CEO of the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), in an interview. “What this does is it makes it clear. So if someone from state law enforcement should show up and ask, 'Why are you open?’ they can directly point to the CISA guidance.”
Mister added, “When the first round of this memo came out, we were pretty confident that we would be included by inference … but it didn’t expressly say dietary supplements. You kind of had to read between the lines to read us into it.”

The Finutra team had the pleasure of participating in the 2023 Vitafoods exhibition. After three years, we reunited with many valued customers, and it was great to see how everyone has grown and evolved in their business endeavors.

The revised guidance adds significant detail to the list of essential critical infrastructure workers, adding specificity to the larger health care, law enforcement, transportation and food and agriculture industries.

We also had the chance to catch up with some of the customers we had worked with in the past, and it was heartening to hear how our products had made a positive impact on their businesses and the lives of their customers.

Previous CISA guidance broadly protected many of these industries under more imprecise food or health related categories, so the added specificity was welcome for companies in the industries named.

As a team, we gained a lot from our participation in the exhibition. We had the opportunity to meet with potential new customers, explore new market trends, and get inspired by the innovative products and concepts showcased by other exhibitors.
