The countdown has begun. By 13 December of this year, a whole new set of food and nutrition labelling rules – assembled under Regulation 1194/2011, known as the Food Information to Consumer (FIC)-Regulation – will be applicable in full swing.
Are companies ready for the new rules? Are member states ready and willing to enforce them? And what will be their effect on consumer behaviour? As the EU is heading towards the December deadline, much remains unclear.
Against this backdrop, Lexxion’s 8th European Food and Feed Law (EFFL) Conference takes place on 16 & 17 October 2014 in Vienna and will be devoted to “Food Information to Consumers – Ready to Take up the Challenge”. The following and many more issues will be addressed:
- The EU Commission’s view and EFSA’s role
- Responsibilities in the food chain
- National nutrition schemes
- Specific labelling requirements: COOL, Nano Materials
- Evidence-based advertising
