Navigating the New Regulatory Landscape: GRAS, Flavor Claims & Emerging Litigation
The regulatory and litigation landscape for food ingredients and flavors is changing at a rapid pace—and the stakes have never been higher. GRAS remains front and center, but it’s only one of several pressing issues affecting the industry. This session will explore the latest developments involving citric acid, malic acid and ascorbic acid, as well as the growing wave of litigation challenging claims such as “naturally flavored” and “no artificial flavors.”
