Fair Packaging and Labeling Act

The Fair Packaging and Labeling Act is a US law that applies to labels on many consumer products. It requires the label to state:

• The identity of the product;
• The name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor; and
• The net quantity of contents.

The contents statement must include both metric and inch/pound units.

Passed under Lyndon B. Johnson in 1966.
