Ensuring Consistency in Nutrition Labels Act

This bill would change federal food labeling law so that a food is treated as misbranded if the Secretary of Health and Human Services finds that the actual amount of certain required nutrients is more than 5 percent above the amount listed on the label. The rule applies to nutrients that must already appear on nutrition labels under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The Food and Drug Administration would have to update its nutrition labeling regulations to reflect this change within 60 days after the bill becomes law.
