Regulatory Updates
Pet Food Regulations: Explanation and Application
25 April 2012
Windmill Village Hotel and Conference Centre
Birmingham, UK
Post regulatory change, how has the industry – and its players – fared?
Understanding and implementing the new regulations
New regulations in the pet food industry, which came in to effect from August 2011, have placed a huge emphasis on reviewing the use of ingredients and additives, and on the labelling and marketing of products. Revisions were also made to longstanding regulations regarding the manufacture, import and marketing of pet foods in European markets.
The inside view
The regulations have now been in force for several months and this timely event, which follows the success of earlier courses, including last year’s Regulatory Update, will bring together key industry players to discuss the implications of these changes in practice, and to review and discuss their impact on established legislation.
The event is essential for all those wishing to keep up to date with regulatory requirements and also for those who are new to the industry and need an understanding of their legal obligations.
Delegates will participate in a number of workshops, experience first hand how to develop statutory declarations for product labels, and receive a detailed workbook with accompanying CD containing all legislative requirements.
The seminar will be of particular interest to those involved in:
- product development
- technical and regulatory affairs
- sales and marketing
- retailing and private label
- the pet trade
After this course delegates will:
- be confident writing a statutory declaration under the new requirements
- understand the new rules for claims
- understand the implications for off-pack communications
- be familiar with the latest developments on the Animal By-Products and Additives Regulations
- understand the longer standing rules for consumer goods as applied to pet food
