Title: Food Labeling; Prominence of Calories 
Abstract: Section 403(q)(1)(C) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 343) requires that certain foods under FDA's jurisdiction bear nutrition information that provides the total number of calories derived from any source and the total number of calories derived from total fat in each serving size or other unit of measure.
