\nDo you know the difference between \u2018gluten-free\u2019 and \u2018very low gluten?\u2019 What about \u2018legal\u2019 names and \u2018customary names\u2019?

All food manufacturers have a responsibility to ensure that the information printed on their packaging is clear and truthful. Negotiating the intricacies of food labelling<\/a> legislation can be extremely time-consuming and complex. That\u2019s why we developed our \u2018Legal Labelling\u2019 course. It is specifically designed to cut through the jargon and tell you precisely what you need to know in order to comply.<\/p>\n Launched in 2011, this course will appeal to Specification Technologists, Technical Managers, Product Developers, Label Designers and those responsible for approving packaging copy and artwork from a legal perspective.<\/p>\n \u2018Legal Labelling\u2019 will give you a working knowledge of the legislative requirements for food composition and labelling<\/a>. It covers product title and brand names,\u00a0 legal names and customary names, marketing sub-descriptors and claims, additives, allergens, nutrition and health claims, ingredients declarations and QUIDs, origin marking and protected names , date coding<\/a> and an introduction to the new Food Information Regulations.<\/p>\n The next \u2018Legal Labelling<\/a>\u2019 course takes place on Friday 7th<\/sup> September<\/strong>.
