MNÍ Food Day 2010 is now underway and a large number of people have made their way to the Hilton Hotel.
The Icelandic Food and Nutrition Association has awarded prizes for praiseworthy initiatives in the food sector every year since 1993 on MNÍ Food Day.
Right now, Fjöreggið was handed over on MNÍ's Food Day. Ólafur Reykdal, food scientist and employee at Matís, received Fjöreggið 2010 for his participation in research on Icelandic barley for human consumption. He has for years been in charge of research on the nutrient content and properties of barley and has worked on quality requirements as a reference for the use of barley in food production and brewing. This research has supported innovation and entrepreneurship in the cultivation, processing and production of barley products.
Matís sincerely congratulates Ólafur!
