No, companies selling products in the US must follow federal regulations regarding the information on the labels. There is some information that must be present (nutrition statement, name of product, contact information for the producing company), some information that cannot be present (false statements, misleading statements) and some information that may be used at the company's discretion (claims about "new", "improved", "less sugar/sodium/fat", etc.). Most labels for foods must be approved by the US government (FSIS for meat and poultry products, FDA for other food products).
