Leatherhead's regulatory experts will explain how you can identify, keep up-to-date with and apply relevant legislation as an aid to both new product development and legality of current product ranges.

In addition, you will have the opportunity to discuss and comment on challenging regulatory issues, such as the new EU labelling provisions and the new union lists on food additives and flavourings, as well as how to comply with EU nutrition and health claims requirements.
