Falls Church, VA (PRWEB) May 17, 2017 -- Best Practices in Food Process Labeling & Regulation:
Pathway to Transparency or Claim Substantiation Nightmare?
**An FDAnews Webinar**
June 6, 2017 — 1:30 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. ET

When is a food “natural”, “cage free”, “humane” or “organic”? How far can a health claim go? Does “country of origin” apply to every ingredient? When is it OK to claim non-GMO, when not? What does “minimally processed” mean? What about fair trade and farm labor? What about environmental assertions?
Welcome to the new world of ‘process labeling’. It’s a long way from the days when food labels were simple lists of nutrients and ingredients. GMO labeling is now mandatory, and regulators from the FDA, USDA, FTC, state and local health departments all are getting in on the food claims act.
Mark the calendar for a webinar to bring manufacturers up to speed on GMO labeling, consumer safeguards, false claims and more.
The presenter is Steve Armstrong Esq., former Chief Food Law Counsel at Campbell Soup Co. and now an independent advisor for EAS Consulting Group. At Campbell, Armstrong led the effort to brief FDA and USDA on Campbell’s call for mandatory GMO labeling and its research on GMO labeling and consumer acceptance.
In just 90 fast-paced minutes, attendees will come away understanding:
• Where “process labeling” fits among labeling claims
• Opportunities and challenges in transparency
• How to spot a risky claim: The view from the FDA and the FTC
• How to substantiate claims that are challenged
• Resources to bolster claim accuracy and lower liability
• Elements of GMO regulation that apply to food processing
• Best practices for process-label transparency without overpromising
• And much more!
From the front page to the food section, nutrition and health are in the headlines every day. Discover how to make prudent claims that boost sales without crossing the line.
