Our Regulatory and Scientific Affairs Consultancy Helpline provides expert answers to your most pressing questions, globally. Included in membership, this service connects you directly with Leatherhead’s regulatory experts, who cover 150+ countries and speak 50+ languages.

We help you interpret, comply with and understand the risks of local and regional food and beverage legislation, giving you the clarity and confidence to move forward. From ingredient permissibility, to advice on labelling and claims, to novel foods and packaging, we’re here to guide you through the complexity.

Our expertise also spans the critical areas of nutrition, food science, and food safety, ensuring you receive clear, scientifically grounded answers to every query. Whether you’re looking for the latest scientific evidence on the safety and efficacy of ingredients, emerging insights on sweeteners or the global scientific context of ultra-processed foods, our team is here to support you.

Each membership includes a set number of helpline hours, with the flexibility to purchase more as needed – so you get the right support, exactly when you need it.

Our regulatory helpline assists with a wide range of enquiries. Typical questions include:

• How do I ensure my novel food ingredient meets both safety and labelling regulations in the EU?
• Where can I find credible, science-backed information on the health effects of a specific sweetener?
• What are the regulatory requirements for demonstrating the microbiological safety of a chilled ready meal?
