Nutrition and Health Claims Briefing

Driving Product Development Under The Evolving EC Nutrition & Health Claims Regulation

New Speaker Announced: Simon Parker, Borderline Classifier, Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency

Tuesday 9th December 2008
London

The Nutrition and Health Claims regulation came into force in Europe in July 2007 with revisions in 2009 and the final regulatory framework planned for 2010.  Food Manufacturers need to work effectively within the existing regulation in the transitional period and accurately pre-empt what the final regulation will look like so that they can protect their longer term product development strategy.

This intensive one-day briefing offers guidance through the transitional period on nutrition and health claims regulation and beyond. The industry leaders provide practical advice on the impact of the regulatory framework on product development strategies.  Attend this briefing and demystify the confusion surrounding the Article 13 Health Claims Register and article 14 submissions and dossier preparations.
