Public Interest Comment on The Food and Drug Administration’s Food Labeling: Trans Fatty Acids in Nutrition Labeling, Nutrient Content Claims, and Health Claims; Proposed Rule

The Regulatory Studies Program (RSP) of the Mercatus Center at George Mason University is dedicated to advancing knowledge of regulations and their impacts on society. As part of its mission, RSP produces careful and independent analyses of agency rulemaking proposals from the perspective of the public interest. Thus, the program’s comments on the FDA’s proposed revisions to nutrition labeling requirements for trans fatty acids do not represent the views of any particular affected party or special interest group, but are designed to protect the interests of American citizens.
