What US Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (15 USC ch 39): Consumer Commodity Labeling requires
The Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (15 U.S.C. ch. 39) requires that consumer commodities be honestly and informatively labeled to enable value comparison, with authority divided between the Federal Trade Commission for most products and the Food and Drug Administration for foods, drugs, devices and cosmetics. Section 1452 makes it unlawful to distribute in commerce any packaged consumer commodity that is not labeled in conformity with the Act and its regulations. Section 1453 sets the requirements of labeling: the label of a consumer commodity must bear the identity of the commodity, the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer or distributor, and the net quantity of contents separately and accurately stated in a uniform location on the principal display panel, in both the customary inch-pound and the metric systems, in conspicuous and legible type, and where applicable the net quantity of a serving. Section 1454 authorizes additional regulations to prevent deception or to facilitate value comparisons, including rules on cents-off representations and slack fill. Section 1455 allocates regulatory authority, and section 1456 provides for enforcement, treating a violation as an unfair or deceptive act under the Federal Trade Commission Act or a misbranding under the food and drug law as applicable. The Act is the legal foundation for US consumer commodity quantity and identity labeling.
