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.
