13th Annual Food and Beverage Exchange

Brian Sylvester, partner at Morrison Foerster, will speak at the 13th Annual Food and Beverage Exchange, taking place October 7–8, 2025, at Riverfront Plaza in Chicago, IL. He will be featured alongside Kelly Laudon, Director and Assistant General Counsel – Regulatory at the Hershey Company, on the panel “Food and Color Additive Bans: Navigating Evolving State and Federal Laws and Policies.”

This session will explore the rapidly changing legal landscape around food and color additives, focusing on state-level bans (such as those targeting Red Dye No. 3 and brominated vegetable oil), federal regulatory developments, and strategies for navigating complex, overlapping compliance requirements. Designed for in-house legal and regulatory professionals, the panel will also address preemption challenges and shifting enforcement priorities.
