About This Session
A mislabeled product is a recall waiting to happen. Allergen declaration errors, formula changes that never made it to the artwork file, marketing claims that outpaced what's actually in the formulation, label mistakes are among the most preventable sources of FDA enforcement action and consumer harm.
In this FSMA Friday session, Tony Lukas, Director of Food Safety and Dietary Supplements at The Acheson Group, walks through what a solid label verification process actually looks like: mandatory vs. optional label elements, how to document formula and label changes so your revision history holds up during an audit, and which departments — R&D, marketing, regulatory, operations — need a seat at the table before anything goes to print.
If your label review process lives in email threads and tribal knowledge, this session is for you.
