Front-of-pack programs try to simplify a complex world

Eric F. Greenberg | Attorney-at-Law

If you monitor legal developments over many years, you see, every once in a while, a development that seems to contradict, rather than complete, a previous trend. The ongoing development of front-of-pack labeling programs is an example of such a contradiction. The explanation for it may lie in the emergence of obesity as a public health concern.

The recent headlines tell us that some in the food industry have already started using such programs, even as the Food and Drug Administration is attempting to work up its own program. But to see this as a contradiction of past trends, you have to revisit the history of the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990, or NLEA.
