Premier Foods: label rules ‘biggest change in over 25 years’

“Meeting the needs of the consumer is at the heart of changes,”​ said Alasdair Tucker, head of regulatory affairs at Premier Foods and chairman of the Food and Drink Federation’s Food Law & Labelling Committee.

Tucker is one of four expert speakers who will be taking part in the Food Manufacture Group’s free-to-attend one-hour webinar​ – Food Information to Consumers Regulation: what you need to know – at 11am GMT on Thursday 20 February.

‘Devil is in the detail’​

“While in essence, the changes required by regulation should be evolution rather than revolution the ‘devil is in the detail’,”​ said Tucker. “Subtle changes the consumer may see require a more fundamental review of the collation and presentation of information on behalf of the manufacturer.” ​

Taking part in the webinar, in addition to Premier Foods, will be research organisation Campden BRI, the Trading Standards Institute and law firm and event sponsor DWF.

The full line-up will be:

Alasdair Tucker​, head of regulatory affairs at Premier Foods and chairman of the Food and Drink Federation’s Food Law & Labelling Committee, on how one of Britain’s largest food manufacturers is preparing for the changes enshrined in the Food Information Regulation.
