FDA Proposes Major Changes in Food Labels in 2006.
Overview:
Recently, the FDA has changed many of the rules governing how food is labeled for consumer products. Changes include: listing the amount of trans fat, notification of eight allergen groups, and a new definition of “whole grain”. The Global Knowledge Congress has assembled a team of experts to help analyze these changes and their impact on the companies servicing this industry. These experts will present their findings, which include a “best practice” panel at a comprehensive two-hour teleconference scheduled for May 2006. Topics: FDA’s draft guidance on whole grain label statements. Allergen & trans fat labeling. Nutritional & dietary supplement labeling on websites and third party literature linked to them. Obesity Laws and Lawsuits. International Tract: Economic costs of labeling to US and International markets. Role of Labeling in the global food trade. Misleading labeling proposals in trading partner countries. Role of international bodies in the development of labeling standards.
