We are pleased to share the Autumn edition of our quarterly regulatory update, prepared by our specialist food and drink team.

This update comes hot on the heels of our team's attendance at the European Food Law Association (EFLA) Congress in Milan, where we got all the latest food law news from leading international experts.

This edition also includes:

  • CBD and Novel Foods Regulation: A Watershed Moment
  • High Caffeine Energy Drinks Ban: Government Consultation on Child Protection Measures
  • Brexit Reset: UK-EU SPS Agreement Breakthrough - September 2025 Update
  • FSA Market Authorisation Innovation and Research Programme: Streamlining Food Safety Approvals
  • Nutrition and Health Claims (NHCRs) refresher
  • Less healthy food advertising restrictions: What businesses need to know

If you missed our City AM Opinion piece on the return of alcopops, do reach out to Rachel Lyne or Katharine Mason directly for their insights on drinks regulation.

Finally, don't forget to check out the ASA rulings our advertising team think you need to know about (and of course, one for fun) in our September ASA monthly insights.

We welcome and value feedback on the content of the update, including any areas you would like us to cover so we can ensure these updates are useful to you and your business.

All the best,

The food and drink sector team
