Campden BRI is hosting its annual food labelling seminar on 6th December to explain and discuss the significance and commercial implications of changes to labelling legislation.
When the Provision of Food Information to Consumers Regulation comes into force in December 2014, it will fundamentally affect the labelling of food and drink within the EU. A clear understanding of these changes will minimise their impact, and enable manufacturers and enforcers alike to make a smooth transition to the new rules.
However, spaces are limited, and to cope with demand, Campden BRI has arranged an extra date - 1 February 2013. Event organiser Cathy Frances, one of Campden BRI's legislation team, explains the tremendous response to the seminar and the main thrust of the event: "We have been offering these labelling seminars for many years, and for the second year running we will have to put up the 'House Full' notice on our original date.
"We will again be discussing the main areas that the changes will affect, and there will be specific presentations on the EU Protected Food Name Scheme, portion sizes and nutrition labelling - looking at front-of-pack issues and labelling tolerances. There will be speakers from Defra, the Department of Health, and a law firm, as well as from the Institute of Grocery Distribution, and there will be plenty of opportunity for discussions with the speakers."
