Functional ingredients such as green tea extract, L-theanine, ashwagandha, magnesium, mushrooms and herbal extracts continue to drive innovation across food, health and beauty products. They can create valuable opportunities for product differentiation and consumer appeal, but they can also raise complex regulatory questions that affect product classification, marketing and compliance.
The rules governing the use and promotion of functional ingredients can vary significantly depending on whether a product is regulated as a food, therapeutic good or cosmetic. Understanding these distinctions is critical, as product formulation, ingredient selection, format and marketing claims can all influence regulatory obligations and business risk.
Using real-world examples, our interactive 90-minute workshop will help you understand how to harness the opportunities presented by functional ingredients while confidently navigating the regulatory landscape.
We will help you answer questions such as:
- How are food, therapeutic goods and cosmetic products regulated in Australia?
- What is the food-medicine interface and when does it become a concern?
- What risks arise when using functional ingredients, and why does ingredient classification matter?
- How can ingredient selection, product format and marketing influence product positioning?
- What opportunities and limitations exist when marketing products containing functional ingredients?
- How can you leverage functional ingredients to support innovation and differentiation while managing regulatory risk?
Who should attend:
- R&D
- Marketing
- QA
- Legal
- Regulatory
Whether you're developing new products, assessing ingredients, creating marketing campaigns, reviewing labels or managing compliance obligations, this workshop will provide practical guidance to help you make informed decisions about functional ingredients with greater confidence.
