Natalie Rainer, partner and member of the Health Care and FDA practice at K&L Gates, discusses the proposed rule and the industry’s initial reaction. She also digs into what it means for the future of product development, formulation, and package design — and how this is a unique situation when it comes to claims made on food and beverage packaging.
