Why a food lawyer would stop your restaurant’s marketing?
Today, we're tackling a critical issue for restaurants and food marketers: promotional compliance and the risks of misbranding, as highlighted by a recent case in Biloxi. Mary Mahoney's Old French House Restaurant and its co-owner, Anthony Charles Savanovich, recently pled guilty to conspiracy and misbranding seafood. Over six years, they sold over 29 tons of fish fraudulently labeled as local premium species, when in fact, it was imported and frozen from Africa, India, and South America.
This case underscores the serious consequences of misrepresentation. Savanovich's guilty plea to a felony reflects the FDA's stance that such actions mislead consumers and pose health risks. For your restaurant or food marketing practice, any form of misbranding can lead to fines, recalls, and even criminal charges.
How can you protect your business? Ensure all promotional materials, from labels to advertisements, are truthful and compliant with food regulations. At the Kulkarni Law Firm, we specialize in FDA compliance, offering services such as promotional material review, compliance training, and legal guidance. Don't wait for legal issues to arise—take proactive steps to ensure compliance today.
