Communicating Product Characteristics Without Compromising Compliance
(Webinar length:  1h 33m)

Overview:

How do you communicate product characteristics without compromising compliance? That’s
what this webinar will offer, breaking it down to what’s required, what’s optional and what the
rules, regulations, policies and precedent have to say about the way you want to sell your
product – how marketing practices, policy and trends affect disclosure, how the consumer is
driving changes in the marketplace like never before, what’s agitating action and what’s
keeping you competitive.

Amidst today’s continuously heightened health concerns, your food label may well be the most
important piece of technical communications you’ve got, so you want to make the most of it.
Preference for nutrient dense, all-natural, safe, eco-conscious food remains at an all-time
high; stories about suspicions can go viral overnight. Transparency has never been in greater
demand for retail and restaurant foods; regulations have never been more complex. Risky
decisions can lead to federal, state or local enforcement action, competitor or advocacy
complaints, and legal action.

Angst over ill-labeled foods has never raged louder or more easily through social media and
activist blogs. Regulatory involvement at product conception to support positioning while
managing compliance is vital. Along with consumer desire for wholesomeness and purity and
the demand for revealing, open and honest labeling, there is an amplifying trend to attack
misleading, deceitful or fraudulent labeling. Negative publicity can adversely affect beliefs
about products, brands and company reputation. Stay abreast of the crest as evolving needs
are addressed: the Food & Drug Administration’s pending trans fat ban, Nutrition Facts
revisions, a push to postpone menu labeling deadlines, restaurant chains clean labeling
claims, and what’s been triggering trouble.

Areas covered in the webinar:

The basics – minimum federal mandates for labeling food products in the US – FDA and
USDA-FSIS
Product identity (common/usual names) – Established standards, emerging practice

Origin – Local, regional and international import statements
Composition – Whole grain, fruit and vegetable equivalent servings in finished products
Eco & Ethical Consciousness and Food – Sustainable, humane, fair-trade; the vegan
movement
Restaurant menus – more is emerging for labeling than just calories and nutrition – who’s in
charge?
