September 4, 2012 – Global law firm Keller and Heckman will be hosting a Food Packaging Law Seminar on October 24-25, 2012, in Arlington, VA. This comprehensive two-day seminar is designed for regulatory, scientific, and legal professionals to keep up-to-date on the latest food packaging law developments.

Previous Keller and Heckman Food Packaging Law Seminars have garnered praise from participants; a Regulatory Affairs Specialist reported that "[t]he speakers are experts in the subject matter and provide invaluable insight into regulations." A Director of Product Safety and Stewardship writes that the seminar "always presents current issues and topics that enlighten new and old attendees."

This year's offering is poised to be similarly well-received. Highlights from the program include an introduction to food packaging regulations in the U.S. and the EU, an examination of food packaging chemistry and toxicology considerations in the U.S. and the EU, an overview of food packaging regulations in Canada and China, and an update on the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Additionally, there will be multiple break-out sessions, which will offer an in-depth look at everything from paper and plastic packaging to assessing the safety of printing inks in the U.S. and EU.
