Online Labeling Update
Speaker: Dr. Sean Cash, Tufts UniversityNutrition labeling is mandatory on food products in traditional retail stores, but compliance in online retail settings remains inconsistent and unclear. In a series of studies, we have assessed current practices regarding the online provision of labeling elements that normally appear in physical settings, and compare these practices to current regulatory requirements. These studies include assessment of mandatory and voluntary labeling information across major U.S. online retailers and product categories, the availability of mandatory calorie disclosures in food delivery ordering systems, and the interaction of environmental sustainability marketing claims and mandatory labeling. Across these studies, we find that mandatory nutrition label elements are not commonly present, accessible, and legible in online retail settings and are less consistently present than marketing elements.Sean B. Cash is an economist with the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University, where he chairs the program in Agriculture, Food & Environment. His research focuses on how food, nutrition, and environmental interventions and policies affect both producers and consumers. Ongoing and recent projects in this area include the efficacy of food label and price interventions as public health and environmental tools; children’s food choices in commercial and school environments; food labeling of ethical attributes of food production; online food retailing; and how point-of-sale health messaging impacts consumers’ demand for food.
Bob Hibbert & Amaru Sanchez, Wiley Rein LLPTwo leading DC legal minds share their perspective on expected regulatory changes, emerging trends and risks, food standard controversies, and marketplace trends and technologies.

J. Kathleen Bond, Keller and HeckmanThis session will provide an overview of the current legal landscape for green marketing by focusing on five of the most significant developments affecting food companies right now – from class actions, to state enforcement, National Advertising Division cases, and the roll-out of the FTC’s revised Green Guides. The discussion will touch on what types of claims have drawn challenges and best practices for reducing risk in the high risk area of green marketing.
Brian P. Sylvester, Perkins Coie LLPFood tech innovations ranging from precision fermentation and cultivated meat to molecular farming and beyond have garnered significant attention in the U.S. and globally. Many of these innovations are poised for exponential growth. For example, by some estimates, the market for precision fermentation currently stands at over $2 Billion and is forecast to be near USD $26 Billion by 2032. This session is designed to demystify food tech and provide timely insights into recent and evolving developments at both the FDA and USDA, including anticipated regulatory updates relevant to cultivated meat, precision fermentation and molecular farming. We will cover premarket regulatory pathways and labeling considerations, in particular.
Martha E. Marrapese, Wiley Rein LLPContaminants may emanate from any direction. This presentation will focus on prevention, detection strategies, and best practices to avoid heavy metal contaminants from coming through unknowingly in imported ingredients. We will also explore how packaging components and public water systems can add another complication to the mix, highlighting the breadth of PFAS contamination and its impact on litigation in the years ahead. It is difficult to test for every conceivable contaminant. Those attending this session will come away with additional strategies for reducing liability and risks to the food supply.
Ivan Wasserman, Amin Wasserman GurnaniPrebiotics, probiotics, and functional foods share an important characteristic for purposes of FDA labeling regulations – they have no regulatory definition. Products with these ingredients and descriptions may be conventional foods, dietary supplements, drugs, or medical foods under FDA’s regulations. The regulatory category depends on a number of factors, but critically, any claims made for the product. This session will explore these different product and labeling categories and the applicable FDA labeling requirements.
William Cole, Amin Wasserman GurnaniPlaintiff litigation and demand letters are becoming one of the primary risks to consider in developing product marketing strategies. Learn how to navigate the shark tank with this discussion of the current litigation landscape, how to best protect your company, and what to do if your product becomes a target.
