Food Allergens - Key Developments & Enforcement in 2026

Introduction

In a fast-moving regulatory landscape, compliance with UK food allergen law is an increasingly important item on food businesses agendas - and for good reasons - legal, commercial and reputational implications all come into play in the event of non-compliance with the law.

This webinar is suitable for those working in the food business industry, and legal and compliance professionals who are interested in keeping up to date with key developments and enforcement trends on food allergen law.
