PROCESS EXPO represents the pinnacle of food technology.
Many exhibitors on the PROCESS EXPO show floor opted to display some of the many pounds of food they had collected as a part of FPSA’s Defeat Hunger program. FPSA invited all its members to collect canned and boxed food to donate before and during the show. In 2003, the donations from the Defeat Hunger campaign were able to provide more than 240,000 meals to the people of Cook County. This year, the campaign raised enough to provide more than 325,000 meals – 25,000 more than the goal they set for themselves this year.
Once again, the Food Processing Suppliers Association (FPSA) partnered with the Greater Chicago Food Depository for the Defeat Hunger campaign. The campaign kicked off in early April and ran through the last day of the show. The 2015 campaign was launched with a $75,000 donation by the FPSA Foundation, and encouraged suppliers and visitors to the show to make food or monetary donations to the campaign. The FPSA booth featured a food display to remind attendees of the effort.

Each day of PROCESS EXPO show goers had the opportunity to view, and sample, cooking demonstrations led by a Chicago area chef. The recipes featured meat and bakery dishes. Each day’s demonstrations were sponsored by different industry councils – the Prepared Foods Council, the Meat Industry Suppliers Alliance and the Bakery Council.
