New York, NY, May 04, 2006 --(PR.com)-- The Global Knowledge Congress, the leading producer of regulatory focused teleconferences, has announced today that Leslie T. Krasny, a Partner at top international law firm Keller & Heckman LLP, will speak at the upcoming FDA Regulations in Food Label teleconference scheduled tentatively for May 23, 2006 at 11:00 AM EST.
Recently, the FDA has changed many of the rules governing how food is labeled for consumer products. Changes include: listing the amount of trans fat, notification of eight allergen groups, and a new definition of "whole grain".
