Summary:On 8 November 1990, President Bush signed into law the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (NLEA, P.L. 101-535). Sections of this act amend the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938 and include the most comprehensive changes in food labeling proposed in 50 yr.

When implemented, the labeling will have a far-reaching impact on food choices, nutrition knowledge, and healthful nutrition practices.
