OFW and The Food Institute will be holding their annual Food Labeling Seminar on October 7, 8, and 9. The virtual training course will cover everything you need to know about food labeling in today’s marketplace.
This seminar will review the basics of FDA’s and USDA’s food labeling requirements, including recent updates. It will review the rules for authorized food labeling claims (such as healthy, gluten-free, organic) and requirements for BE labeling and country of origin labeling. It will also examine the pitfalls of using undefined claims such as natural, artisan, and wholesome. Special attention will be given to FDA enforcement, compliance actions by self-regulatory authorities, and lawsuits brought by class action attorneys. Additional sessions will be devoted to developing “clean” labels, marketing implications of FDA’s Nutrition Facts label, and future trends and developments.
