Food & Feed Areas
Food and feed markets are constantly evolving and adapting to consumer behaviour, the demand for innovative products, or the need to contribute to environmental protection in the form of sustainable products.
The types of approvals that exist for the European markets are correspondingly diverse, and new ones are added from time to time. In this complex regulatory framework, we make sure that you understand the current legislation, guidance documents and standards that apply to your product.
The new rules introduced by the transparency regulation (EU) 2019/1381 present a challenge to many food and feed business operators. To ensure compliance with the new provisions, we offer advice to our clients with respect to confidentiality requests, study notifications, and the electronic submission of the dossiers.
