Food Labeling Guide Chapter 3 - Net Quantity of Contents

The Fair Packaging and Labeling Act was passed in 1966 and requires all consumer products to have labels that are true and informative. It requires the label to state the identity of the product, the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor, and the net quantity of contents.

No surprise, the FDA enforces these provisions on foods, drugs, cosmetics and medical devices. The Feds basically tell manufacturers how, where and in what units of measure to declare the net contents of a package.

This week, we look at Part 3 of 5 (!) of a Food Labeling Guide.

TTFN, Fred.
