Series Overview
Meat labeling can be a daunting task! You’ve got to meet FSIS requirements, provide customers the necessary safety and ingredient information, and somehow fit it all in a limited space. Companies can spend huge time and resources getting it right. And that doesn’t even begin to take into account any special claims your product may have earned. Why not remove the guesswork with this series of webinars on the A-to-Z of labeling topics. Our experts will address the most commonly asked questions while helping you work through the trickiest issues.
Other presentations will include:
Session 2, June 12th: Claims, Statements, and Ingredients. Will include claims (production practices, breed, grade labeling, negative claims, natural, and claims on testing), instructional statements, processing aids, and allergens.
Speakers: Brett Schwemer and Jolyda Swaim, Olsson Frank Weeda Terman Matz PC, and Jeff Canavan, FSIS, USDA
Session 3, June 19th: More Claims, COOL, and Nutrition. Will include Country of origin labeling, organic, nutritional labeling (required and claims), child nutritional (CN) labeling.
