This conference is designed to address these needs, through the delivery of insightful presentations and case studies. Participants will also have the opportunity to discuss approaches to meet the ever-changing legislation requirements during the keynote panel discussions.
An event highlight is the participation of Dr. Zhu Lei, Associate Professor of the China National Center for Food Safety Risk Assessment, who will be presenting and explaining the latest developments in Chinese regulations. This talk will be supported by a further lecture delivered by Intertek’s own expert, Dr. Huqiu Zhang.
“This is an exceptional opportunity to explore varied perspectives from experts and authorities in the food, food contact materials and packaging industries” states Ruud Overbeek, Vice President Global Health, Environmental and Regulatory Services at Intertek. “During this event, attendees will receive the latest information on: food contact regulations in Europe, USA and China; Nestlé’s packaging safety and compliance initiative; the use of the FACET model; the role of the GMP and compliance certification; food contact in industrial machinery; recycling regulations; biocides; printing inks; plus much more.”
