15 U.S.C. § 1451 - Congressional declaration of policy

Text

Informed consumers are essential to the fair and efficient functioning of a free market economy. Packages and their labels should enable consumers to obtain accurate information as to the quantity of the contents and should facilitate value comparisons. Therefore, it is hereby declared to be the policy of the Congress to assist consumers and manufacturers in reaching these goals in the marketing of consumer goods.

(Pub. L. 89755, § 2, Nov. 3, 1966, 80 Stat. 1296.)
