Do You Need a Food Law Attorney for Your Food Brand?
A food law attorney helps food and beverage brands navigate FDA regulations covering product labeling, food safety plans, facility registration, and enforcement actions. For growing food brands, legal guidance early can prevent costly compliance mistakes down the road.
What Does a Food Law Attorney Do for a Food Brand?
A food law attorney reviews product labels for FDA compliance, advises on food safety plans required under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), helps register food facilities with FDA, and represents brands in responding to warning letters or product recalls.
When Should a Food Brand Hire Legal Counsel?
Food brands should consult an attorney before launching a new product, importing ingredients from overseas, or updating labels or marketing claims — and immediately upon receiving any FDA correspondence, such as a Warning Letter or Form 483.
Can a Food Law Attorney Help With an FDA Warning Letter?
Yes. An experienced food law attorney can help draft a timely, substantive response to an FDA Warning Letter, identify the root cause of the cited violations, and put corrective actions in place to avoid escalation to injunctions or seizures.
Do Small Food Brands Need a Food Law Attorney?
Yes. FDA compliance obligations under FSMA and FDA labeling regulations apply regardless of company size. Small and emerging food brands are just as subject to inspection and enforcement as larger manufacturers, which makes early legal guidance valuable.
