Abstract: Section 403 (21 U.S.C. 343) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) establishes requirements that the label or labeling of a food product must meet so that it is not misbranded and subject to regulatory action. Certain of the provisions of section 403 require that food producers disclose information about themselves or their products on the labels or labeling of their products. FDA has issued various regulations in parts 101, 102, 104, and 105 (21 CFR parts 101, 102, 104, and 105) that also require food producers to disclose certain information on the labels or labeling of their food products. Related regulations require that food producers retain records establishing the basis for the information contained in the label or labeling of their products and provide those records to regulatory officials. Finally, certain regulations provide for the submission of food labeling petitions. FDAs food labeling regulations were issued under the authority of sections 4, 5, and 6 of the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (the FPLA) (15 U.S.C. 1453, 1454, and 1455) and of sections 201, 301, 402, 403, 409, and 701 of the act (21 U.S.C. 321, 331, 342, 348, and 371). Most of the regulations in Parts 101, 102, 104, and 105 derive from the requirements of section 403 of the act, which provides that a food product shall be misbranded if, among other things, its label or labeling fails to bear certain required information concerning the food product, is false or misleading in any particular, or bears certain types of unauthorized claims. The disclosure requirements and other collections of information in the regulations in parts 101,102,104, and 105 are necessary to ensure that food products produced or sold in the United states are in compliance with labeling provisions of the act and the FPLA.
