•Consumers rely on product labels to know what the product is and how to use it. FDA regulates what's on these labels to ensure that they are truthful and that they provide useable information that helps consumers make healthy, safe decisions when using the product.
•In recent years we have redesigned the labeling for foods, over-the-counter medicines and dietary supplements, making them much more informative and easy to read.
•We also oversee the labeling for drugs and medical devices used by health professionals to ensure that the products have the information needed for proper use.
