Supported Accurate Labels Act, H.R. 6044, was reintroduced in the House by Reps. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) and Kurt Schrader (D-OR). The Accurate Labels Act is intended to provide clear, accurate, and meaningful information to consumers. The Accurate Labels Act would amend the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act to ensure that consumers have access to clear, accurate and meaningful product information by doing the following: *Establish science-based criteria for all additional state and local labeling requirements. States that meet the criteria can enact their own ingredient listing or labeling programs. *Allow state-mandated product information to be provided through smartphone-enabled smart labels and on websites, where consumers can find up-to-date, relevant ingredients and warnings. *Ensure that covered product information is risk-based. Warning labels act as important precautionary notices of legitimate risks and need to be taken seriously. *These changes to federal law will ensure that consumers continue to benefit from the nutritional and allergy information on packaging today, while guaranteeing that any additional product information required by states or cities is clear, accurate, meaningful and science-based.
