Selling Food in the U.S.: What You Need to Know

Thinking about expanding food sales into the U.S. market? On Monday 7 April, Setterwalls and Faegre Drinker invites you to join us for a lunch event in our Malmö office. The event will cover the latest updates from the U.S. food industry and requirements associated with subsidiaries and acquisitions on the U.S. market. Looking forward to seeing you then!

Whether acquiring a U.S.-based load company or setting up a U.S. subsidiary, it is imperative to understand the intricacies of establishing a U.S. entity, the U.S. food regulatory requirements for manufacturing and labelling, and the importance of mitigating contractual and litigation risks.

Please join our U.S.-based cross-border M&A, food regulatory and litigation practitioners who will discuss:

• Introductory discussion on the customs and trade landscape, including the latest updates related to the food industry.
• Overview of U.S. Food Regulatory Requirements governing how food is manufactured, labeled and marketed in the U.S.
• Understanding the Litigation Risks of marketing and selling food in the U.S.
