What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Ensuring Consistency in Nutrition Labels Act," proposes an amendment to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. It seeks to change how food is classified regarding its nutritional labeling. Specifically, the bill states that a food product shall be considered misbranded if its nutrient content exceeds the value declared on its label by more than 5 percent. The Secretary of Health and Human Services, through the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, would be required to update relevant regulations within 60 days of the Act's enactment.
