Reading it right on novel foods

Expert speakers will meet on 27 September 2017 in London to discuss the implications of these changes such as the points expected to be of priority in future reviews of novel foods and the potential effects of Regulation 2015/2283 on certain food categories already present on the market, with the status of insects and insect-derived products discussed as an example.

Francesca Lotta, Associate, Bird & Bird, will deliver a stimulating presentation entitled ‘Authorising edible insects under the new novel food regulation.’ Francesca advises companies from Food and Beverage on regulatory requirements for innovative products, such as novel foods, food supplements and nutraceuticals. She is also gaining a reputation as edible insects’ legislation expert, advising food and feed companies.

Other confirmed speakers include:

• Ruth Willis, Food Standards Agency
• Mark Ramsden, ADAS Digital

Sam Jennings, IFST Food Law Group member and organiser of the event said: “If you would like a better perspective of the incoming new novel foods Regulation, you should find this event useful and a worthwhile way to spend half a day!”
