Speakers from academia, government, and industry will provide an up to date overview for food processors on the essentials of food law and regulations. People new and old to the food processing industry will benefit from the “bottom line” information presented in this one day workshop. We will examine food regulations from a historical view to understand how the current regulations came to be. The role of state and federal regulatory agencies will be discussed as well as the nutrition, allergen and organic labeling regulations that have come about in the last few years. Lastly the increasingly important topic of product liability and security will be presented.
