Bill > SB1376

This bill amends the Virginia Consumer Protection Act to add a new prohibited practice related to food labeling. Specifically, the bill makes it unlawful for a supplier to sell any food that is required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to have a nutrition label if that food does not meet the labeling requirements outlined in 21 C.F.R. Part 101. This means that any food item mandated to have a nutrition label must precisely follow the federal regulations for such labeling. The provision is being added to the existing list of fraudulent acts and practices in the consumer protection statute, which aims to protect consumers from deceptive business practices. By incorporating this specific requirement, the bill ensures that consumers receive accurate and standardized nutritional information on food products, helping them make informed decisions about their purchases and dietary choices.
