What does FINDINGS. of TRUTH in Labeling Act do?

This section outlines findings related to dietary consumption and front-of-package nutrition labeling. It states that Americans consume excessive amounts of added sugars, sodium, and saturated fat. Front-of-package labels are identified as potentially improving food purchasing decisions and nutritional quality. These labels are particularly beneficial for individuals with lower educational attainment, lower incomes, and those with less nutrition literacy. The labels are intended to provide quick access to information about food healthfulness and support healthier choices. Studies suggest front-of-package labeling can improve understanding of the relative healthfulness of different foods. The text notes a concern that labeling policies without disclosure of non-nutritive sweeteners can lead to increased use of those sweeteners. It also finds that labeling policies disclosing non-nutritive sweeteners and advising against their consumption by children are associated with reductions in sugar, sodium, saturated fat, and non-nutritive sweeteners in food products.

What does REQUIREMENTS FOR FRONT-OF-PACKAGE LABELING FOR FOODS. of TRUTH in Labeling Act do?

This section requires front-of-package labeling for foods. The labeling must include information on high amounts of added sugars, sodium, or saturated fat. The labels must be on the principal display panel and include the words 'High in' and an exclamation point icon. Foods for children must also be labeled, except for infant formula. The Secretary of Health and Human Services must establish Daily Reference Values and percent Daily Values for added sugars, sodium, and saturated fat.
