Join EFLA's 2025 Congress 'In search of a nexus: science, law, and the landscape of uncertainty'
EFLA is hosting its 2025 Congress, 'In search of a nexus: science, law, and the landscape of uncertainty.' The event will take place in Milan, Italy, on 18 & 19 September 2025, at the Worldhotel Cristoforo Colombo (Corso Buenos Aires, 3, 20124 Milano MI, Italy).
Programme
The event will start with the session dedicated to different cases of the Court of Justice of the EU showing food law challenges. The key note speech will set the scene by discussing how the Court of Justice of the EU approaches the risk analysis.
We will also look into the actions of risk managers when handling scientific complexity. Specific examples in the areas of food additives, fortified foods, flavourings and plant protection products will be addressed as well. The second session of the Congress will focus on the substantiation of marketing claims, including environmental claims, beauty claims and nutrition and health claims.
On the second day of the Congress the third session will address the importance of red tape reduction and facilitation of innovation. Examples of regulatory challenges in the US and in the EU will be shared with the audience.
A detailed programme will soon be available.
