Fair Packaging and Labeling Act
The Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (FPLA) is a U.S. law that requires products' packaging and labels to accurately and clearly provide important information. This includes details like the product's identity, ingredients or contents, net weight or volume, and the manufacturer's or distributor's name and address. The goal is to help consumers make informed choices, compare products easily, and avoid deception. The act applies to a wide range of consumer goods, ensuring transparency and fairness in how products are presented on store shelves.
