This past year has brought many proposed and final changes to food regulations. What will these changes mean for ice cream and frozen dessert manufacturers? IDFA invites professionals in ice cream and frozen dessert technology to bring their specific questions to IDFA's regulatory experts at the Ice Cream Technology Conference, April 10-11, in Fort Myers, Florida.

John Allan, IDFA vice president of regulatory affairs and international standards, and Michelle Matto, R.D.N., principal, AM Food & Nutrition and consultant to IDFA, will offer their insights on many regulatory topics. Questions may cover the Food and Drug Administration’s regulatory reform initiative, progress on the National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard and other food labeling requirements, and partially hydrogenated oils, which are no longer generally recognized as safe (GRAS).

The conference will also cover details about California’s Proposition 65 law and implementation of the Food Safety Modernization Act. View the full agenda here.

Ice Cream Tech will be held April 10-11, in Fort Myers, Florida, with sessions on the latest techniques, hot topics and trends in the industry. Attendees also will judge the annual contest sponsored by Dairy Foods magazine for the most innovative flavors and novelty product. 

Registration is now open.
