§ 110715 Food Quality Labeling Standards

Key Takeaways

  • •Food must meet certain quality or fill standards set by rules.
  • •If the food doesn't meet these standards, its label must clearly say so.
  • •The label must follow specific rules about how and where to put this warning.

Example

You buy a jar of peanut butter labeled as 'creamy,' but it's actually watery and doesn't meet the standard for creaminess.

The jar must have a clear label saying something like 'Below standard creaminess' so you know it's not as good as it should be.
