Responding to the new world of approved – and banned – health claims
FDF and leading law firm Eversheds have teamed up to provide FDF members with
a free and exclusive opportunity to take part in a webinar looking at important labelling
developments which have implications for UK food and drink manufacturers.
Eversheds’ Food Law Partner Owen Warnock will lead the webinar looking at the
Nutrition and Health Claims Regulation and the practical implications for the
food
sector.
The webinar will also feature an introduction from Barbara Gallani, Director of
Food Safety and Science at FDF, on the current timescales and declared
transitional periods.
After a brief outline of the Regulation, Owen will look at:
- the impact on nutrition claims
- the kinds of health claims that are receiving approval, and those which are not
- transitional arrangements:
- how long can debatable claims be made?
- The impact of UK advertising rules on the transitional position.
- options for responding when a manufacturer finds a key health claim is rejected
- new developments:
- the EU’s newly-announced process for clarifying uncertain health claims
- will compliance with nutrient profiles ever in fact be required for foods
bearing claims?
- the current European tussle on this issue
- wider implications of the Regulation for the industry:
- changes in demand for certain food and ingredients
- stimulation of fresh research
- new opportunities to develop markets in disease reduction foodstuffs
Following the presentations there will also be the opportunity to take part in a
Q&A session with both speakers.
Eversheds are providing this webinar as part of their FDF Commercial Partnership.
