Nutrition Labeling and Education Act

The Nutrition Labeling and Education Act (NLEA) of 1990 is a U.S. law that requires food manufacturers to provide clear, accurate nutrition information on their product labels. Its goal is to help consumers make informed dietary choices by standardizing labels with details like calories, fat, sugar, and serving size. The law also regulates health claims on packaging, ensuring they are truthful and scientifically supported. Overall, NLEA aims to promote better public health by making nutrition information accessible and trustworthy.
