What kind of foods require a nutrition facts label?

Answer 1

The US Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act requires most packaged foods bear nutrition labeling unless they qualify for an exemption. Nutrition labeling is not required for raw produce (fruits and vegetables) and fish -- such products are referred to as "conventional" foods. There is an exemption for low-volume products. It applies if the person claiming the exemption employs fewer than 100 full-time employees, on average, and fewer than 100,000 units of that product are sold in the United States in a 12-month period. However, low volume products that bear nutrition claims do not qualify for this exemption. Another exemption applies to retailers with annual gross sales of less than $500,000, or with annual gross sales of food to consumers of less than $50,000.
