Bill > HR7122

This bill, titled the "Ensuring Consistency in Nutrition Labels Act," proposes to amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to establish a stricter standard for the accuracy of nutrition information on food products. Specifically, it states that a food will be considered "misbranded," meaning it is illegally labeled, if the actual amount of a declared nutrient deviates by more than 5 percent from the value listed on the product's label. This change aims to ensure consumers have more reliable information about the nutritional content of the foods they purchase, and the Secretary of Health and Human Services, through the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, is required to update relevant regulations within 60 days of the bill's enactment to reflect this new 5 percent tolerance.
