10.00-17.30 Nutritional and health claims in the European Union

Conference Presentation
The European Regulation 1924/2006 and its subsequent modifications on "Nutritional and Health Claims" have a very ambitious target in terms of improving health of European consumers by empowering them through claims, based on generally-accepted scientific data, highlighting nutritional and health characteristics of different types of food to fight unbalanced or otherwise unhealthy dietary regimens. The protagonists in the implementation of this Regulation are the food companies as it is for them to elaborate the relevant claims and make use of them in association with food marketing for the benefit of their customers.
This Conference is a major international event for the interested Parties intending to take an active and responsible role in contributing to the implementation of such a Regulation, while pursuing their legitimate economic interests.
The Conference, to be held with a simultaneous translation English/Italian, with the participation of representatives of competent European and Italian decision-making and scientific Institutions as well as of research and academic Institutions and Associations of food companies, is mainly aimed at providing a clear perspective of the status of implementation and the on going adaptations of Regulations 1924/2006
