The coronavirus pandemic has food and beverage companies rethinking some everyday efforts.

As of March 30, at least 27 U.S. states had issued stay-at-home orders, and many “nonessential” businesses had closed.

Organizers of the 9th International Whey Conference (IWC2020) — the European Whey Processors Association (EWPA), Brussels, and the Elmhurst, Ill.-based American Dairy Products Institute (ADPI) — said March 27 is the deadline to submit abstracts for the conference.

After careful consideration, the American Dairy Products Institute (ADPI) and the American Butter Institute (AB) made the decision to postpone and reschedule the ADPI/ABI Joint Annual Conference originally slated for April 26-28, 2020.
