Regulatory Seminar

Both the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) require that food products sold in the United States have an ingredient statement on the product packaging label. This statement must list all required ingredients, comply with the standards of identity, and be listed in descending order of predominance by weight using the common or usual name.

Join us for a comprehensive seminar covering the FDA and USDA regulations for ingredient statements in food products sold in the United States. In this seminar, our expert presenters will cover the following topics:

Mandatory requirements and exemptions for ingredient statements
Formatting and placement of ingredient statements on packaging labels
Standards of Identity and common or usual name of ingredients
How to declare spices, natural and artificial flavorings, colorings, additives, preservatives, and ingredients that make up less than 2% of the product
How to avoid common labeling errors using industry examples
Latest FDA regulatory and guidance initiatives and industry trends impacting ingredients and sub-component listings

Our expert presenters will provide practical guidance and best practices for complying with FDA regulations, including how to avoid common labeling errors and ensure that your food products are accurately labeled and in compliance with the law.
