Course duration: One day
What will you gain: The course will provide an introduction to the legal requirements for labelling food products in the UK and to the law on compositional standards for food products.

You will also be able to take account of labelling compositional requirements during the NPD process and complete artwork signoffs.
The course will provide the necessary background for progressing to the Advanced Food Labelling course.
