Panel discussion: Can food labels and product claims help consumers make informed food choices?

Join us as we discuss key challenges facing the food industry and the regulations you need to know about.

Today’s food consumers are more aware than ever before, with many adjusting their buying habits to accommodate allergens, dietary restrictions, food trends, environmental or ethical concerns. As a result, they’re paying increased attention to food facts and labels where they shop and dine.

Three industry experts will explore the latest trends in consumer food choices and how they’re impacting the industry, from farms to factories and from grocery stores to quick service restaurant chains.

You’ll have an opportunity to learn more about current and upcoming regulation changes and better understand how to interpret them skilfully for your business.

Key learning objectives:

  • Understand the current and emerging consumer trends, with insight from recent polls
  • Hear how companies are leveraging food labels and product claims to better meet consumer needs
  • Learn how to navigate regulatory and legal changes to food facts, contents and labels
  • Benefit from the speakers extensive knowledge and experience to help you stay ahead of the competition.
