About the Conference

Major legal and regulatory developments continue to evolve and impact food and beverages in Canada. From the Safe Food For Canadians Act to labeling regulations, to the Plastics Registry to ESG concerns to novel foods and new advertising guidelines – there is no shortage of legal and regulatory challenges to the food and beverage industry.

These challenges also cross the border as U.S. food and beverage manufacturers need a strong working knowledge of these developments to service and do business with their Canadian affiliates. As such, the need for this conference for North America food manufacturers has never been greater.

Join us in Mississauga this fall and learn from the masters of Canadian Food Law and Regulation. Register today to obtain the tools and techniques you need to meet the evolving legal and regulatory challenges which the food industry is now facing as well as anticipating in Canada.
