We are excited to be celebrating Prime Label’s 50th anniversary at this year's Food Label Conference, and grateful that we can do it in person, during the beauty of springtime in Washington D.C.
Despite COVID, Congress, the USDA, and the FDA have kept busy drafting new legislation and introducing new rules and guidelines. From Sesame to Standards to Bioengineering to Nutrition to Generic to Country of Origin labeling, much has changed in the past year. At the same time, consumer scrutiny of undefined claims is at its height, with demand letters and litigation being filed over an increasing number of label claims.
Come hear from government regulators, lawyers and industry experts as they attempt to make sense of this dynamic time. Learn about the latest trends and best practices, and network with your peers across the food industry supply chain. General sessions will cover regulatory changes, breakouts will offer a forum to dive into practical solutions, seminars will deliver in-depth training, and the Continuing Conference will provide updates throughout the year.
You can't afford to miss this two-day conference as it brings together everything you need to know about food labeling!
