During the 4th World Pasta Congress in Rio, on October 2010, IPO and Oldways organized a conference with scientist from 13 countries. The result was a new Scientific Consensus Statement, the first since 2004.

The scientific consensus statement is now outlined in a new consumer-friendly “Pasta for All” brochure, summarizing the scientific evidence supporting the health and economic benefits of pasta along with pasta recipes from around the world. In addition, the brochure presents the IPO and World Pasta Day.
