Inaugural Advanced Summit on Food Law & Regulation Canada 2023 | Canadian Institute | 4 October 2023 | Mississauga Convention Centre, 75 Derry Rd W, Mississauga, ON L5W 1G3, Canada

In the last decade, there have been major legal and regulatory developments impacting food and beverages in Canada. From the Safe Food for Canadians Act to labeling changes to supplemental foods to ESG concerns to new advertising restrictions to children there is no shortage of legal and regulatory challenges.

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 the Greater Toronto Area this fall and learn from the masters of this events. 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.
