Upcoming Hot Topics in Food Law Teleconfernce

By Kenneth Odza

The American Bar Association is presenting its second Hot Topics in Food Law teleconference on February 10, 2009 at 10am Pacific Time (1pm EST).  Anybody connected with the food industry and concerned with risks affecting the industry should consider registering.  I have been involved with planning this event. No other use of 60 minutes will give you as much insight into the most current issues in food law. The cost begins at $35 for section of litigation members and ranges to $150 for non-ABA members.

The panel, moderated by Jessie Ziegler at Bass, Berry & Sims, PLC, Nashville, TN, includes the most diverse voices available: 

Robert E. Brackett, Ph.D, Senior Vice President and Chief Science and Regulatory Affairs Officer, Grocery Manufacturers Association, Washington, DC

Ricardo Carvajal, Of Counsel, Hyman, Phelps, & McNamara, PC, Washington, DC

Stephen Gardner, Director of Litigation, Center for Science in the Public Interest, Dallas, TX

Sherry A. Marcouiller, Chief Counsel, Food Law, Kraft Foods Global, Inc., Northfield, IL
