Labeling regulations are rules set by government agencies to ensure that products, especially food and beverages, provide clear and accurate information to consumers. These regulations require labels to include essential details such as ingredients, nutritional information, and allergen warnings. This helps consumers make informed choices about the products they purchase.
In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversees these labeling regulations for food products, while the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) monitors advertising claims. Compliance with these regulations is crucial for manufacturers to avoid penalties and ensure consumer trust in their products.
