A clear understanding of these changes will, said the company, minimise their impact, and enable manufacturers and enforcers alike to make a smooth transition to the new rules.
Campden BRI's annual Food Labelling seminar on December 6 will, said the organisation, explain and discuss the significance and commercial implications of changes to labelling legislation and related initiatives.
However, it is nearly fully subscribed and, to cope with demand, Campden BRI has arranged an extra date - on 1 February 2013.
"We have been running these labelling seminars for many years, and for the second year running we will have to put up the ‘House Full’ notice on our original date,” said event organiser Cathy Frances, one of Campden BRI's legislation team. “We will again be discussing the main areas that the changes will affect, and there will be specific presentations on the EU Protected Food Name Scheme, portion sizes, and nutrition labelling – looking at front-of-pack issues and labelling tolerances.
There will be speakers from Defra, the Department of Health, and a law firm, as well as from the Institute of Grocery Distribution, and there will be plenty of opportunity for discussions with the speakers."
