The U.S. government created the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a regulatory agency responsible for assuring that foods sold in the United States are safe, wholesome, and properly labeled (FDA 2008).
The FDA works with Congress, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and other governing bodies to set food-labeling standards. The FDA does not preapprove labels but has the right to request changes or removal of labels that do not meet its specifications. Therefore, food manufacturers have some freedom in labeling and can work creatively to provide consumers with the information needed to make purchasing decisions (FDA 2008).
