1978
Alston, Elizabeth | Colavecchio, Catherine M.
Aspects of food packaging and labeling are explained for the average consumer. The U.S. Department of Agriculture administers regulations on the terms "New" and "improved", the illustrations and wording of labels, food grade shields and inspection stamps. Types of food dating include pull date, quality-assurance date, pack date and expiration date. Federal law requires that manufacturer's address must be printed on every food label. The Universal Product Code, storage information, ingredient listings, net weight statements, signs concerning Jewish dietary laws, added nutrients, and unit pricing is also discussed. A list with addresses of congressmen involved in nutrition-related legislation is included.
