"How Do I Label This? Translating Flavor Documents & Regulations"
The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) and the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act are the Federal laws governing the labeling of food products under Food and Drug Administration. Unlike drugs, FDA regulations do not require pre-approval of labels for food products. As food and flavor labeling regulations are not described in a single regulation they can be confusing to interpret. To help minimize legal action food manufacturers are recommended to be fully informed about the applicable laws and regulations before offering foods for distribution in the United States. This session will focus on the interpretation of the flavor regulatory documentation package and how this information can affect the ingredient declaration, product claims, and applications for use in finished consumer goods.
