FOODLEGAL WORKSHOP : CLEAN LABELLING - TICKETS AVAILABLE

The workshop runs from 9 am - 1.00pm AEDT*

* AEDT is Australian Eastern Daylight Savings Time


Following three sold-out sessions, we are now offering a fourth date. Register now to avoid missing out!


There is enormous pressure on food product suppliers and retailers to present products as natural and as free from artificial substances as possible.


It is essential to know precisely how every ingredient and substance will or might be declared on the product label and marketing... if it has to be declared at all.

This FoodLegal workshop focuses on the food labelling obligations under the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code and how these can be interpreted, applied and circumnavigated to present the cleanest image of your product. Of course, without misleading or deceiving your consumers in breach of the Australian Consumer Law.

This workshop also covers claims and marketing strategies that go hand-in-hand with clean labelling practices, such claiming your product is "natural", a "superfood" or "100% free of anything artificial".

We will help you answer questions such as:

• How can I simplify my long ingredients list?
• When can I leave an ingredient off the label?
• What makes a substance "artificial"?
• When does a food substance become a processing aid? Or a food additive? Or a nutritive substance?
• How do I avoid breaching the Australian Consumer Law?

Numbers are limited to ensure an interactive experience.
Price is per person.

Exploring new Foodservice opportunities : Pass the strict tests and access new markets

The webinar runs from 12 pm - 1.30 pm AEDT*.

* AEDT is Australian Eastern Daylight Savings Time

Exploring new Foodservice opportunities:
Pass the strict tests and access new markets


FoodLegal and Nutrition Australia jointly present this intensive webinar which focuses on developing foodservice products to meet growing demand for healthier food and drinks.


Often, those working in the food industry are unaware of the state and territory nutrition guidelines that exist in various channels such as aged care and school canteens, and therefore are at risk of developing products that may not be eligible to be sold in the channel the product is designed to be sold in.

The aim of this session is to educate individuals who work in the food industry on how to develop healthy food service products and why healthy product development may be more in demand and commercially viable than they originally thought.

We will help you answer questions such as:

• What policies are being mandated in foodservice that we need to pay attention to?
• How is the demand for healthy food and drinks increasing in food service?
• How can I create a healthy product for multiple foodservice settings?
• What do I need to know to promote my healthy product differently for food service?
• When can I call my product healthy?
• When can I call my product vegan?
• When can I say that my product boosts immunity?

Numbers are limited to ensure an interactive experience.
Price is per person.
