Terms of use

General information about U.S. food labels. Not nutrition, medical, legal, or allergy advice.

What this site is

General information about how food labelling claims are defined in the United States, and how to read ingredient lists.

What this site isn't

  • Not nutrition or medical advice. For a medical reason to avoid a food or ingredient, talk to a registered dietitian or your doctor.
  • Not an allergy resource you can rely on. Formulations change without notice. The package in your hand is the legal record. Check it every time.
  • Not legal advice or a complete statement of any regulation.

Accuracy and change

Labelling rules and products change. Each regulatory panel carries the date it was last checked. We correct errors when we find them and can't promise the site is free of them.

Other websites

We aren't responsible for other websites, their products, or their claims.
