Food labeling requirements in the U.S. are complex, and are changing, so you need to stay ahead of the curve. This course will provide you with the foundational and practical knowledge you need to comply with both established and newer labeling laws and regulations for conventional foods, including meat and poultry. Instructors will also cover emerging issues to help regulatory professionals and product developers react properly to marketplace drivers other than legal changes, such as consumer interest in clean/clear labeling, alternative protein products, corporate social responsibility, responsible sourcing, and the growing threat of private litigation over labeling issues.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the specific labeling requirements of both the FDA and USDA
- Identify which mandatory information must appear on the label of your food product, and which voluntary statements may be made. Discussions include ingredient statements, nutrition labeling requirements, nutrient content claims, health claims and structure/function claims
- Become familiar with legal references for labeling requirements
- Understand label statements that contribute to food safety and promote health and wellness
Instructors:
- Eric Greenberg, JD – Principal Attorney at Eric F. Greenberg, P.C
- Kathleen Crossman – Global Sr. Director, Global Processes & Standards GPO at ADM
- Riette Van Laak, JD, PhD, JC – Attorney at Hyman, Phelps & McNamara, P.C.
