FALL SEMINAR: Legal Trends: Bioengineered, Cannabis, and more...

Recent scientific advancements have revolutionized the way food and agricultural products are being grown, sold and regulated.

The FDA has issued guidance for plant-derived food manufacturers who want to voluntarily label their products as genetically engineered.

A rapidly growing population, combined with tremendous attention from investors, means cell cultured meat and poultry derived products are poised for entry into the marketplace. The FDA and USDA issued an agreement this year detailing the particulars on how the safety, suitability and marketing of such products will be overseen by the two agencies.

FDA recognizes the potential opportunities that cannabis and cannabis-derived compounds may offer, and hosted a public hearing and solicited input from stakeholders on the safety of such products in determining steps to improve the efficiency of regulatory pathways.

What is next? How will FDA continue to ensure the safety of our nation's food supply as technology advances?

Legal Trends: Bioengineered, Cannabis and more..


Thursday, October 10

To help industry understand the legal trends at the forefront of current thinking, Prime Label Consultants is partnering with Morgan Lewis to present a seminar on Food Labeling Issues and Emerging Trends on October 10 in Chicago.


At this seminar, Bob Hibbert, who formerly led the USDA's labeling policy staff and is now a top food lawyer in Washington DC, will discuss:

* The latest questions regarding bioengineereed food labeling
* Where cannabis regulation currently stands
* What kinds of enforcement issues the FDA faces

This seminar will also address other developing regulatory issues such as Evolving Trends & Legal Risk, Meal Kits, State Standards, Class Action Labeling Lawsuits amongst other pivotal labeling trends.

This year, the food industry is being challenged to adjust to multiple compliance initiatives at once, which are upending over two decades of labeling strategy. Consequently, Prime Label has created these Food Label Seminars which serve as a mid-year update to its annual  Food Label Conference (FLC). Structured as two one day seminars, conveniently located near Chicago's O'Hare airport, the seminars will mirror the FLC's popular blend of trending topics and practical insights.
