FOOD

KKB regularly handles a broad array of issues relating to foods, including the regulation of new ingredients and “functional foods.” We have assisted clients in obtaining FDA acceptance of a number of novel ingredients and novel health-related claims. We routinely review labels and ingredients to ensure legal compliance, and provide advice on recalls and other manufacturing and safety-related issues.
