Food Safety, Health Claims and Regulation in Europe

The food and beverage industry is one of the most highly regulated and competitive sectors in the world. Retailers, manufacturers and distributors are constantly searching for ways to gain a competitive advantage with innovative products, packaging, and marketing campaigns. The imminent Regulation on the provision of food information to consumers, along with the EU framework on health and nutrition claims, contain significant legal and regulatory developments that will have extensive implications for food and beverage companies across Europe.

C5’s Forum on Food Safety, Health Claims and Regulation in Europe will focus exclusively on the implementation of the forthcoming Regulation on food information to consumers and the EU framework on health and nutrition claims. The event will present the first opportunity to hear from the regulators and industry associations, experienced in-house managers, and expert lawyers from across Europe as they walk you through the most competitive tools and strategies to overcome the inherent challenges in the proposed EU Regulations.

Key issues to be addressed include:

• The forthcoming EU Regulations on nutrition and health claims and what impact the Regulations will have on your compliance strategies
• Guideline Daily Amounts: knowing what you can and can’t claim on your labels
• Analysing the origin labelling and specific EC legal framework for geographical indications and designations of origin
• The re-evaluation of the food additives, enzymes and flavourings Regulation and the establishment of a harmonised authorisation procedure in Europe
• Proposed requirement for mandatory inclusion of allergenic foods on labels: are you prepared?
• Food information to consumers: overcoming the new challenges for advertisers
• Recent developments in EU legislation on food contact materials: ensuring food safety and avoiding penalties for non-compliance
• The intended abolition of the concept of “dietetic foods” and the use of botanicals in foodstuffs in the EU
• Executing product recalls and reputation management: mitigating costly consequences
