Technical and regulatory information at your fingertips

To ensure that you have access to the best regulatory and technical information, we have significantly developed and enhanced our knowledge services over the last two years. Here are some examples of what you can tap into. Browse below or visit our international food law services page.

Horizon scanning dashboard
This will help you see what is coming before it arrives. It draws on a wide range of resources including social media, newsfeeds, government sites and technical literature. The standard dashboard deals with food safety and regulations; it can also be customised to your specific needs.

Technical briefings
If you need to know the current status on a particular topic, our information and technical specialists can search the most appropriate sources to put together briefing papers, fact sheets or summaries focusing on the technical innovations and developments most relevant to you, your business and your products. We will work closely with you so that we understand exactly what you need and deliver it - we´ll find the knowledge so that you can focus on using it.

Food Law Alert
Prompt and succinct news of developments in UK and EU food law, available free to members every fortnight. Links are given to helpful supporting documents as appropriate.

Label reviews
From a simple independent verification that a piece of label information is correct to a comprehensive review of the entire label for compliance with legislation.

International and translation
If you need to check the legislation in a specific country or have access to specialist translation services for labelling and product information, talk to our team of regulatory specialists to discuss how we can help.

Regulatory helpline

As part of your member benefits you have access to a team of experts on global legislation to help you with those tricky issues. Our growing Regulatory Affairs team has again been busy helping members with a wide range of questions, as David Leeks explains:

"We deal with about 4000 enquiries each year, most of which come to us by phone or email, although we also meet members face to face, during MIGs and other events, or when we´re out at exhibitions or other events. More than half the enquiries we get are on labelling (or ´food information´) matters. We also get enquiries on the legislation on additives, pesticide residues, contact materials, contaminants, hygiene, supplements, baby foods, novel foods etc.

With labelling in mind, we get a lot of questions of the type: "Is there a definition of .........."You could fill in the dots with, for example, ´superfood´, ´ham´, ´roasting´, ´natural´, ´artificial´, ´dairy-free´, ´traditional´, and ´high fibre´.

Different members have such different needs and interests that the variety of questions we deal with is vast."
