This year's event will continue to serve as an effective introduction to the regulation of food-contact materials in the United States and around the globe, while bringing fresh perspectives on current and forthcoming developments that impact companies throughout the food packaging supply chain.
We are particularly excited to welcome Mark Hartman, Director of the Office of Food Chemical Safety, Dietary Supplements and Innovation, FDA, and to host a separate panel discussion on the politics of the "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) initiative, including proposed GRAS reform.
