CERT ID - EU Road Show October 2003 - FREE Non-GMO Traceability Conference

Europe is poised to adopt some of the most stringent GMO Regulations in the world. The Regulations will have far reaching effects and consequences for all companies who produce, supply or use products that could have been produced from a potential GM origin.

These are just a few of the questions facing food and feed manufacturing business alike:

• How will the new Regulations affect my business? How will they be enforced?
• What will be expected of me as a food/feed business operator?
• Will I have to label my products?
• Do I have the right suppliers? How can I locate suppliers who will not place my business at a potential risk from GMOs?
• Won't traceability schemes add cost?
  

Naturally, as a food or feed business operator you will want to make the right choices to avoid potentially serious consequences and possibly brand damage in the future.

The good news is because of CERT ID's continued success in this difficult sector we are to hold a free-to-attend half day Non-GMO Traceability Conference for the food and feed industries in Germany, Belgium, Italy, France and the United Kingdom during October 2003.
