Becoming a Member

ISAPP is a non-profit, scientific organization run by a Board of Directors. Since ISAPP is not a member-run organization, it does not have membership for individuals. The ISAPP Board of Directors steers the organization, with input from industry members, to accomplish ISAPP’s mission.

Everyone is welcome to stay up-to-date on the organization’s activities by signing up to receive our monthly newsletter and updates. Companies aligned with ISAPP’s mission to advance the science of probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, postbiotics or fermented foods may become members of ISAPP.

Benefits for members
