U.S. Senator Jerry Moran, U.S. Representatives Adam Kinzinger, and Kurt Schrader today introduced the Accurate Labels Act, bipartisan legislation to provide American consumers nationwide with clear, accurate, meaningful nutrition information and prevent the issuance of inaccurate labels that mislead consumers and drive up prices. The Accurate Labels Act would amend the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act to ensure consumers continue to benefit from the nutritional and allergy information on packaging. The Accurate Labels Act ensures that consumers have access to accurate and easy-to-understand product information by: establishing science-based criteria for all additional state and local labeling requirements; allowing state-mandated product information to be provided through smartphone-enabled “smart labels” and on websites, where consumers can find up-to-date, relevant ingredients and warnings; and ensuring that covered product information is risk-based. U.S. Representatives Buddy Carter, Brett Guthrie, Richard Hudson, Collin Peterson, Filemon Vela, and Jim Costa joined in introducing companion legislation in the U.S. House, H.R. 6022.
