The Nutrition Labeling and Education Act is the federal statute passed in 1990 that requires food manufacturers and processors to provide nutrition information on many foods and prohibits them from making scientifically unsubstantiated health claims. The Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act governs safety and quality standards for food, drugs, and cosmetics, but it does not specifically address nutrition labeling. The Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare) aim to improve access to healthcare and insurance, but they do not relate to nutrition labeling.
