Join us for the Regulatory Update. In the past year and a half, the pandemic has continued to shift the focus of both regulatory agencies and legislators. As the food industry returns to some degree of normalcy, we are seeing renewed attention on a number of pre-pandemic issues. One of these topics is heavy metals in food, particularly those foods designed for infants and toddlers. Elizabeth Fawell of Hogan Lovells’ will lead a thoughtful webinar around heavy metals in baby foods and other developing regulatory issues. Learn about recent activity surrounding heavy metals from Congress and FDA, what to expect in the coming years, and how to prepare to navigate these dynamic developments. With class action lawsuits, state attorney general inquiries, congressional investigations, and a federal action plan focusing on this issue, the food industry needs to understand the landscape and its implications.
