WORKSHOP | SA food labelling regulations

All you need to know and where to find it

2026

Although the draft regulation R. 3337 was published in 2023, we know that R. 146 (Regulations Relating to the Labelling and Advertising of Foodstuffs) is still the foundation with which everyone must comply. There are also other labelling considerations beyond this regulation which must not be forgotten.

FACTS is hosting a two-day workshop, live and in person, with the aim of providing an understanding of all the regulations relevant to the labelling of foods.

PLUS!
We have added a half-day practical session, ‘Applying your labelling knowledge’, where we will systematically work through putting a label together and give guidance to ensure that the final label is 100% compliant. YOU MUST REGISTER HERE FOR THIS SEPARATELY TO THE MAIN EVENT.
