Program Description

In recent years, there has been a flurry of significant cases and regulatory actions in food advertising and litigation, including Lanham Act competitor suits and self-regulatory challenges, consumer class actions, FTC enforcement actions, and FDA warning letters. These cases, many still ongoing, have had far-reaching implications for all food product advertisers. FDLI’s Food Advertising: Claims, Litigation and Strategies conference will address these issues, including claims and substantiation for functional foods and health claims;  key cases and settlements in 2012, and a look ahead to 2013; current FDA and FTC priorities; and strategies for dealing with, and avoiding, litigation issues. 

Issues to be discussed include:

• Genetically modified food labeling and disclosure
• FTC’s case against POM Wonderful
