Why did fda start labeling food?
"1990 Nutrition Labeling and Education Act (NLEA)is passed. It requires all packaged foods to bear nutrition labeling and all health claims for foods to be consistent with terms defined by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. As a concession to food manufacturers, the FDA authorizes some health claims for foods. The food ingredient panel, serving sizes, and terms such as "low fat" and "light" are standardized. This is pretty much the nutrition label as we know it today."
