The food and beverage industries are driven by expansion based on global market demands on the backdrop of a constantly changing regulatory landscape. The ability of businesses to access market specific regulatory requirements and information is essential for effective sale of product into new and existing markets.

While world trading of food has become global, regulations are still mainly country specific. In a few areas of the world there are regional regulations including the European Union, Gulf Coast Countries in the Middle East, and the Central American Council of Ministers of Economic Integration. In order to allow trade across borders in certain regions, regional organizations were set up to consolidate the work of generating and maintain food safety regulations.

In the article, Dr. Carolyn Fisher, Senior Scientist with Decernis, provides a review of world-wide regulations pertaining to spices, extracts, and flavorings. Areas reviewed include guidance documents from trade organizations and regulatory bodies, decontamination of spices and herbs, extraction solvents used to make spice and herb oleoresins, and general flavoring regulations. The article will benefit people with responsibilities in regulatory affairs and product safety.
