Two-Day, In-depth Food Labeling Compliance Review Seminar
Food labels have come under increased FDA scrutiny. On February 22, 2010, FDA sent warning letters to 17 companies regarding misleading claims. In an open letter to the Food Industry on March 3, 2010, FDA Commissioner Margaret A. Hamburg identified food labeling as one of her top priorities. Draft guidelines will soon be issued for front-of-pack calorie and nutrient labeling.
