Getting to Retail: 5 Key Legal & Regulatory Must-Haves for Upcycled Food Brands

Join us for a presentation from food safety & regulation expert, Valerie Madamba of Member company, Foodwit + Attorney and food law expert, Amaru J Sánchez. 

Many brands get stuck in retail conversations because they do not have proper legal and regulatory foundations. This Upcycled Hour event will link legal and regulatory theory to what brands actually want to do: sell products, get access to dream retailers, and make partnerships happen!

There will be a Q&A at the end of the presentation, so be sure to bring your questions!
