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. The course will first cover basics of FDA’s and USDA’s food labeling requirements, including recent updates. The seminar will then review the rules for authorized food labeling claims (such as healthy, gluten-free, organic) and requirements for BE labeling and country of origin labeling. Next, the pitfalls of undefined claims such as natural, artisan, and wholesome will be examined. 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, the impact of nutrition labeling, and future trends and developments. Here is the full agenda.
