This is a terrific opportunity to gain an insider’s understanding of nutrition labeling for
food products under federal regulation. We’ll take a step-by-step approach that includes determining the
need for nutrition labeling and selecting the correct labeling program (mandatory vs. voluntary),
acceptable methods of nutritional analysis, determination of serving size and servings per container,
selection and proper declaration of mandatory and optional nutrients, Nutrition Facts panel formatting,
approval requirements, and other key processes. The result: nutrition labeling that meets federal requirements,
helps consumers, and puts your product in the best light. Keyed to PLC’s newest
publication, A Course in Nutrition Labeling, provided free when you register.
This comprehensive manual not only reinforces the Nutrition Labeling Seminar,
it serves as an invaluable, on-the-job reference tool. Written in language that's easy to understand,
the Course in Nutrition Labeling covers every aspect of nutrition labeling (308 pages, a $250 value).
