A Seat at the Table: State laws run amok! Managing food regulatory chaos at the state level
Join the Hogan Lovells Food and Beverage team for the next installment of our “A Seat at the Table” webinar series on Tuesday, 12 December 2023, for a comprehensive discussion on state law issues affecting the food industry.
In the past few years there has been a proliferation of activity at the state level affecting food companies, including restrictions on per- and poly- fluorinated substances (PFAS) in packaging, bans on particular ingredients in foods that are authorized at the federal level, heavy metal testing & disclosure requirements, and a spate of new environmental and animal welfare laws. These include laws on farm animal confinement, extended producer responsibility, minimum post-consumer recycled content requirements, restrictions on recyclable and compostable claims, climate reporting obligations, and more. The emerging patchwork of state laws raises important questions about the scope and limits of federal preemption, the appropriate role of states in regulating food ingredients and packaging, and the continued viability of a single national marketplace for all nodes of the food supply chain.
Learn about these state laws and steps you should be taking to come into compliance.
