Practice Area
International trade is essential for the growth and development of global economies and businesses. As international trade has expanded and developed, so too have the myriad rules and regulations that govern it. The global compliance environment is becoming more complex by the day and can be difficult to navigate without the assistance of experienced counsel. Failure to comply with international trade rules and regulations—even if done so unwittingly—can lead to civil and criminal penalties, monitorships, consent agreements, debarment, reputational damage, substantial administrative burden, legal expense, and unsatisfied business objectives. Increasingly, there also is exposure for individual officers/directors, which can include monetary penalties and, potentially, jail time.

The area of nutrition claims law deals with the regulations and violations related to listing the nutrient content of products, as well as making nutrient content claims. Food labeling guidelines are normally handled by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The FDA does provide rules for those who do the food labeling. A Nutrition Facts label is required on most food packages that have labels. In some cases, food and dietary supplement claims are regulated by law or through the FDA. One area of nutrition claims law involves the class action lawsuits filed by consumers to challenge a label claim.

The FDA stands for the Food and Drug Administration. It is a federal agency charged with protecting the public by regulating the safety and security of drugs, biological products, veterinary medications, and medical devices. FDA responsibilities also cover the safety of: foods for U.S. consumers, cosmetics, animal feed, and radiation-emitting products. Various rules may be established and enforced by the agency in response to U.S. laws or presidential executive orders.

Companies make flavor claims and place them on food labels. When companies list taste claims, they must use the correct terms when describing flavors. The FDA even defines how taste claims and flavor labels are used in marketing. If a flavor is improved or created by the addition of other ingredients, then an explanation of this is required. For example, “cherry” is used to describe a flavor that comes from real cherries. However, “cherry-flavored with other artificial flavors” might be needed if a blend of flavors was used.
