Hello Logan,

You may have heard about a recent FDA study* revealing many hemp and CBD products are mislabeled, which is unfortunate news for an industry already burdened with a lack of trust. The FDA is monitoring this dynamically evolving marketplace, and though it acknowledges the importance of regulation, it still has not initiated the regulatory process.

As the market continues to grow, the industry moves forward, but the elephant in the room is what, where, and when the FDA will act and how will that effect your business.

Join leading hemp and CBD regulatory experts who are in a unique position to address this question in a free webinar entitled FDA Surveillance and Regulatory Update on Hemp and CBD  on November 12^th, 2 PM Eastern. Click here to register.
 

 
Featuring Dr. Mitch Cheeseman, FoodChain ID, former FDA GRAS program director and Jonathan Miller, Member-in-Charge of Frost Brown Todd''s Lexington office and leader of their hemp practice, as well as the General Counsel for the U.S. Hemp Roundtable.
 
Dr. Cheeseman will kick off the discussion with the federal regulatory perspective featuring an overview of the FDA''s surveillance program and provide an update where it stands on a wide-range of Hemp and CBD compliance topics.
 
Jonathan will layer in the congressional, state, and industry response - including proposed legislation - to round out the update.
 
This will be followed by a Q&A.

Please join us on Thursday, November 12^th at 2 PM Eastern. We hope to see you there.

The "New Normal" For Food Manufacturers:
Addressing the Challenges of COVID-19
Free Webinar Series - 10 am EDT, June 4

Though social distancing measures have helped to flatten the curve in the spread of COVID-19, we are not "out of the woods" yet. With food companies across the U.S. having faced closures due to outbreaks at their facilities, the supply chain will be dealing with the effects of COVID-19 long after the height of the pandemic. As health experts warn of a possible rebound in the fall, now is the time to assess what the food industry has learned from this "new normal" and how companies can be prepared to face the challenges of another outbreak.

Join FoodChain ID for our COVID-19 webinar series to gain insights into managing food industry complexities caused by COVID-19.

Private Brand Success  
Agility is critical, safety a must. Technology is the key. 

Complimentary Webinar - Tuesday, October 27th, 2 pm EDT

Over the past ten years, sales of store-branded food products have soared as consumers rely on them more and more to meet their daily needs. COVID-19 and changing consumer behaviors are creating new opportunities for retailers to build on this growth by rapidly launching innovative new products under their own brand. The ability to quickly formulate, package, and launch the right product can generate huge rewards, but it also strains supply chains and increases the risk of adulteration with food safety hazards. The key to success is being able to move fast while still managing all the complexities and risks of launching safe, new products.
 

Join us for this informative, free webinar where our panel of experts will explore recent trends in private label brands, as well as the latest technologies for efficiently launching and managing new products, including an integrated, collaborative cloud-based approach that can accelerate speed to market while increasing transparency, supplier visibility, and safety.

Hello Logan,

One thing the pandemic has made clear is that now more than ever, consumers want natural, safe food with clear labeling.

Two beneficiaries of this trend are Non-GMO Project Verification and USDA organic certification programs, each of which have seen an uptick in consumer demand for these "clean" labels.

On October 7^th at 2 PM EDT, join clean label experts from the Non-GMO Project and FoodChain ID in an engaging, fast-paced webinar that will definitively answer one of the primary questions we receive from our customers - Which is best, Non-GMO Project Verification or USDA organic certification?

Interested in learning more?

This is one you won't want to miss. Feel free to invite your colleagues and we'll see you on October 7^th at 2 PM EDT.

Dear Logan,

Consumers are flocking to plant-based and meatless products. The global vegan food market value is estimated to reach around USD 24.3 billion by 2026 and will grow at CAGR above 9.1% over the forecast time frame.* Market demand is further supported by fast food restaurants in the U.S. serving "meatless" burgers and retailers featuring those and similar products in ads.

To satisfy our own customer demand, FoodChain ID has created a Vegetarian, Plant-based, and Vegan (VPV) certification program.


The FoodChain ID VPV Certification program can enable you to:

• Increase transparency
• Add value to your brand
• Meet consumer and retailer demand

?????Our VPV certification can be bundled with your existing Non-GMO Project Verification and/or USDA Organic Certification which will decrease your time to gain the seal, as well as reduce the costs of utilizing multiple certifications.

Learn more about the program on our website by clicking here. You can also click here to set up a mutually convenient day and time to chat.

I look forward to discussing how this certification program can help you to increase transparency - and sales!

All the best,
Joan Moeller
Sr. Director, Business Development

Join FoodChain ID in a fast-paced, information-rich webinar on March 27th featuring David Acheson, President and CEO of the Acheson Group and former Chief Medical Officer at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's FDA Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN).
