The Food Information to Consumers Regulation (FIC) introduces considerable changes to nearly all food labels in the UK, including nutrition information, origin labelling, the manner of allergen labelling, and minimum font size. With the compliance date of 13 December 2014 for most provisions nearly less than 12 months away, businesses will need to allocate sufficient time to develop artwork, ensure that it is suitable for printing with packaging suppliers, and review and approve it for compliance.  Designed to tackle the challenges presented by the FIC, Legal Labels In-Depth is an ideal opportunity for those tasked with label compliance to gain an understanding of the changes, including the loss of certain national rules.  This two-day modular course provides a complete overview of food labelling requirements in the UK. You may attend each day individually if you solely want to focus on learning the fundamentals covered on Day 1, or have an interest in more complicated aspects of labelling, such as nutrition and health claims, which are discussed on Day 2. Through an interactive approach and practical workshops, you will gain the ability to generate legal labels and identify potential labelling errors early in product development. The course is ideal for Specifications and NPD Technologists, whilst meeting the needs of those new to regulatory compliance roles as well as staff with responsibility for label generation and sign off. The food labelling requirements of the EU Food Information Regulation and their enforcement under UK law by the developing Food Information Regulations 2013 will be discussed during day 1 of the programme.From this course you will:Receive a top level update of labelling legislation, including the new EU Food Information to Consumers RegulationGain a thorough understanding of food labelling rules and industry issues including nutrition and health claims and allergensReceive guidance on applying your knowledge in practice during workshopsAppreciate additional considerations such as product composition, additive use and labelling claimsConsolidate your learning in workshop sessions
