The Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (FPLA) is a federal law that requires all consumer products in the United States to be honestly and informatively labeled. It was enacted in 1966 to ensure that consumers are provided with accurate information about the quantity, identity, and quality of the products they purchase. The FPLA applies to all packaged products, including food, drugs, cosmetics, and household products. It requires that the label include the product's identity, the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor, the net quantity of contents, and the correct metric or common measurement of the contents. The FPLA market is composed of companies that produce, package, and distribute consumer products in the United States. These companies must comply with the labeling requirements of the FPLA in order to remain competitive in the market. Examples of companies in the FPLA market include Procter & Gamble, Unilever, Nestle, PepsiCo, and Coca-Cola. Show Less Read more
