Adapting to EU Regulatory Shifts: Strategies for the Food and Drink Sector
The European Green Deal seeks to make food supply chains more sustainable. This requires significant changes in EU regulatory and policy frameworks related to agriculture, fisheries, food composition, and labeling.
ZC offers support in adapting to these changes, understanding their implications, and capitalizing on emerging opportunities. Recent policy initiatives, such as the Farm to Fork Strategy, underscore the importance of consumer demand and transparency, leading to new legislative frameworks aimed at enhancing information dissemination to consumers about the food they consume.
Zolla Consulting accompanies clients in addressing food transparency issues, including labelling, and communicate effectively on the environmental impact of food products.
ZC helps clients grasp the political dynamics affecting their businesses and products, providing insights into EU and national-level developments and offering guidance on navigating the evolving landscape.
Expertise:
ZC develops regulatory strategy on food related policies, in particular for food supplements, novel and fortified foods, to ensure that products meet appropriate safety and compositional standards based on sound scientific advice – including EFSA and EMA standards and guidance.
ZC helped clients steer litigation cases related to EU legislation application on compositional and labelling requirements for fortified foods (including addition of vitamins, minerals and other substances) and nutrition (safe use of botanicals in food supplements) fields.
