• BM BM MB BM MBI MB BM MB' M MB BM County Extension Service News By ANN HANCOCK Fair Packaging And Labeling Act The Fair Packaging and Labeling Act requires that consumer products in interstate commerce be honestly and informatively labeled, in order to make it easier for the consumer to choose the best value from among the many choices offered. The provision of this law which affect foods, drugs, devices and cosmetics, will be enforced by the Food and Drug Administration. The law became effective July 1, 1967 but regulations will have to be placed into effect to carry out the purposes of the law. Under this Act, any manufacturer or distributor of a consumer product must state the truthful net weight or measure of usable contents in the package. This information must be on the principal display panel which is that part of the label that is most often seen. This law prohibits misleading terms such as "jumbo pound.” It requires that the ingredients be listed in order to predominance unless there is a Standard of Identity for that product. Mayonaise which is usually made of the same ingredients by different companies has a list of these common ingredients and this is called its Standard of Identity. Consequently the ingredients are not listed on the product. The laws also requires that the home and address of the manufacturer be printed on the product. Also the common name of the product must be written on label so that the consumer knows what he is getting. The information on labels is there for our use. It is up to us whether we take advantage of it. A wise consumer reads all labels on products to get the most for his money.
