Leatherhead's three-day Legal Labels and EU Food Law course provides you with comprehensive training on EU food labelling and other legislation applicable to food product compliance. You will be given a unique overview of all relevant EU food regulatory areas, including two days focusing on labelling rules applicable in the UK and other Member States, followed by a day on key controls for product compliance such as food safety, additive controls, contaminants and food contact materials.
Day 1 (Mandatory labelling): will focus on how to ensure the compliance of a food and drink label with the mandatory requirements of the Food Information to Consumers Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 (FIC).
Day 2 (Labelling claims): addresses voluntary aspects of labelling, such as nutrition & health claims and marketing statements.
Day 3 (EU food law): covers an introduction to the general principles of EU food law and key areas related to food safety and formulation compliance such as hygiene controls, novel foods, genetically modified foods, contaminants, food contact materials, pesticides and food improvement agents (food additives, enzymes, flavourings) with a practical workshop on how to check the acceptability of these agents in foods.
