Food Webinar

June 16, 2026 | 12:00 PM ET

We’re midway through 2026 and already it’s been a banner year for state policymaking in the food sector. States are advancing an increasingly wide range of food-related policies, shifting aspects of food oversight and regulation away from federal agencies. For regulatory professionals, navigating this growing patchwork of state requirements is becoming increasingly complex.

Join AgencyIQ’s regulatory experts for a fast-paced, actionable webinar unpacking the latest wave of state food policy activity so far this year. We’ll break down newly enacted laws, advancing legislation, and emerging regulatory trends reshaping the food sector in 2026, including:

• Food ingredient bans and restrictions
• State GRAS-related requirements
• Contaminant and chemical regulations
• Ultra-processed foods developments
• Food labeling requirements
• SNAP food purchase restrictions
• Other emerging areas of state-driven food regulation

We’ll discuss what these state developments signal for the rest of the year and what stakeholders should be watching in the months ahead. Plus, our experts will answer your questions live.
