What Will The Conference Cover?
Never before has the food industry faced so much regulation and pressure to change the labelling of its products. But it isn’t just the debate about the best form of front of pack labelling - traffic lights, guideline daily amounts, or a combination of both - that exercises manufacturers. They are also faced with squaring the circle of providing ever more information on the limited space available on packs; such as information about allergenic ingredients and carbon footprint labels.
Chaired by regulatory affairs expert Neville Craddock, this one-day conference, produced by Food Manufacture, aims to help inform the debate about how both the industry and regulators can work together to achieve the common goals of healthier eating habits and reduced obesity levels across the UK population. Find out where labelling regulation is going and what you need to do to ensure your products are legal.
Speakers Will Discuss Issues Such As:
- The likely findings and implications of the Food Standards Agency’s (FSA’s) independent research on consumer attitudes to front-of-pack food labelling
- Health and nutrition claims labelling
- Carbon labelling
- The consumer perspective
- The enforcer’s view
- What’s legal and what’s not
- Maximising a product’s visual impact while providing clarity of food labelling information on packs
This conference will follow a café style to encourage networking. Delegates will have the opportunity to network with each other, share experiences and both collectively and individually pose questions to a panel of experts.
Who Should Attend?
- Manufacturers and retailers of food and drink
- Regulatory affairs managers
- Marketers
- Food technologists and new product development specialists
