Why is this important?

With the European Commission’s NGT Regulation proposal under discussion and the EFSA scientific opinion on NGTs in animals expected by June 2025, questions around detection and traceability remain important. This webinar will provide expert insights into how current and future regulations may impact the governance of NGT products, particularly in the context of labelling, market access, and compliance.
