Opportunity: Education Session: A comprehensive look into the health and nutrition legal and regulatory landscape

From relentless class action plaintiffs’ attorneys to a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) that is looking for new ways to impose hefty civil penalties for false advertising, the dietary supplement sector continues to face ample regulatory and legal challenges. Meanwhile, many stakeholders have shown increasing interest in legislation that would expand access to natural products, better protect their investments in ingredient innovation, and give FDA the resources and tools to effectively oversee the sprawling marketplace. Yes, these issues are complicated and controversial. This three-hour legal and regulatory session focused on dietary supplement manufacturers and marketers is intended to cover the whole gamut with 10 minutes devoted to each topic and select polling of the audience to lead the conversations with our panel of experts.

Topics to include:

• FTC substantiation notices.
• Trends in self-regulation of advertising.
• Class action litigation trends.
• Intellectual property updates.
