As the Provision of Food Information to Consumers Regulation comes closer to being enforced, with less than 15 months to run before food labelling companies are required to make the transition in December 2014, Campden BRI will be expounding on this transition in its annual Food Labelling Seminar on 3rd December 2013.
Such a major change in the labelling of food and drink in the EU requires explanation of the consequences and effects of this in order to crystallise and enhance understanding, according to the company. The Food Labelling Seminar, through presentations and Q&A sessions with the officials responsible for regulation and other industry experts, will, says Campden, provide up-to-date developments and further discussion of the new labelling regulations. Topics to be addressed include: allergen and intolerance labelling, meeting the challenges of FIC implementation and enforcement, and consumer perception of food labels.
“Speakers at the event will include Caroline Walker, Campden BRI’s Director of brewing and Regulatory Affairs; Dr Martin Holle, author of a guide to the EU Regulation on Nutrition and Health Claims; and Oliver Hamilton, a member of the Food Labelling Team at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA),” said event director Marta Cesar. “Along with other distinguished speakers, they will update and clarify the food labelling situation as it currently stands, and shed light on any developments that may be made in the future.”
