The food and beverage landscape is undergoing a major shift as the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) agenda continues to reshape federal priorities - from heightened scrutiny of ultra-processed foods to GRAS modernization and stricter USDA standards for origin declarations.
As a result, it is more important than ever that food industry professionals reassess their compliance and labeling strategies to meet these new requirements and mitigate potential risk. Increased litigation pertaining to labeling claims, innovative food technologies, and state regulatory actions highlight the importance of protecting brand trust and staying competitive in today’s rapidly changing marketplace.
Join us in Washington, DC for insightful discussions with top government regulators, food legal experts, and industry specialists. Gain actionable strategies to stay ahead of rapidly changing policies, benchmark compliance best practices, and network with peers to successfully navigate the most complex food labeling and regulatory challenges.
