General

In this hands-on practical training you will gain insight into the European legislation on additives, flavourings and enzymes. You will go hands-on to learn to consult the legislation and you will learn how to apply the legislation in practice. Prior to this classroom training you follow the e-learning module 'Looking in legislation'. This will ensure that your basic knowledge at the start of the training is at the same level as that of the other participants.

During the classroom training we alternate theoretical knowledge and backgrounds with practical exercises, so that after the training you know how the legislation works and how best to consult it. In addition to the legal frameworks for additives, flavorings and enzymes, notation and application are also covered. You will also learn to recognize a technical adjuvant and the topics of (reverse) carry-over and clean label will be covered.

Through many practical examples and by getting started yourself, you will be able to assess for yourself, based on European legislation, whether or not an additive is allowed in your product, you will be able to apply the correct flavouring names and you will know when an enzyme is allowed for use in a foodstuff.

Target audience

All food industry employees involved in product development, preparation of technical data sheets or specifications, and food labeling.

Alimento PC 118 and PC 220

"It's a good way on getting to know the legislation around additives better. Also, to look things up in it, this is a good training."
"Is necessary if you need to prepare nutrition labels."
"Content very informative, good to be able to work in groups to practice. The training could perhaps have gone a little faster so that we could have covered more examples (especially about carry-over effect)/ topics."
"It was a fun training with lots of interaction, it was different from other training/webinars I have attended."
"This training provides some background knowledge but also highlights relevant and practical topics."
"Very clear examples and assignments to apply the material."
"A very good training when you haven't been in the business very long. I also found the practical tools (database legislation and Précon overview) very useful tools."
"I would definitely recommend the training for people who already have a foundation around labeling, but would like to delve a little more into the basics of additive legislation or would like a refresher training in this. For people who have been doing labeling for a long time and already have more experience with additive labeling, this training may be too much repetition. It still covers quite a lot of basics."
"Cool trainer, was able to answer the questions well. Fine interactive online training."
"Practical translation of legislation into real-world application."
"Ellis is a very good and nice trainer, explains well and seeks interaction well."
"Good content training, with lots of room to look at practical experiences."
"Everything is explained well, but it is a lot."

"This training gave a good overview of which legislation all applies regarding additives in food. You also learned in a smooth way how to look up information in these legislations and how to interpret them to practice."
"The training also gives B2B another insight into why B2C asks certain questions and demands certain info."
"Very informative."
"Very nice and interactive."
