Food Labeling Modernization Act of 2021

The Food Labeling Modernization Act of 2021 proposes a major update to how nutritional information is presented on food packaging to help consumers make healthier choices. If passed, the bill would require a standardized system of symbols on the front of packages to highlight a product's nutritional value and warn of high levels of ingredients like trans fats or sugar. It also mandates clearer labeling for products claiming to be "natural," "healthy," or made with "whole wheat," while creating a publicly accessible online database where citizens can view all information found on food labels.
