TRUTH in Labeling Act

The TRUTH in Labeling Act requires food manufacturers to display standardized front-of-package labels highlighting added sugars, sodium, and saturated fat content, directly affecting how packaged foods are marketed and helping consumers make informed choices. These labels must use a consistent, prominent symbol system placed visibly on packaging to quickly convey nutritional information without requiring advanced nutrition knowledge. The Secretary of Health and Human Services must issue final regulations within three years of the bill's enactment to define the label design and implementation. Additionally, the bill mandates a report to Congress within five years to evaluate if the labeling influences the availability of products with low-calorie sweeteners and guide future monitoring.
