Two thirds of U.S. adults are overweight, and childhood obesity and
diabetes are on the rise. To reverse these health problems, experts
are urging Americans to eat healthier. Food labels contain
information to help consumers who want to make healthy food
choices. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversees federal
labelling rules for 80 percent of foods. This book explores Food
Labelling in the U.S., wherein the FDA needs to better leverage
resources, improve oversight and effectively use available data to
help consumers select healthy foods. FDA's oversight and
enforcement efforts have not kept pace with the growing number of
food firms. As a result, FDA has little assurance that companies
comply with food labelling laws and regulations for, among other
things, preventing false or misleading labelling. FDA has reported
that limited resources and authorities challenge its efforts to
carry out its food safety responsibilities -- these challenges also
impact efforts to oversee food labelling laws. As discussed in this
book, the FDA's Food Protection Plan cites the need for authority
to, among other things, collect a re-inspection user fee, accredit
third-party inspectors, and require recalls when voluntary recalls
are not effective.
