Summary

Truth in Food Labeling Act - Amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to require full disclosure of the names and amounts of ingredients used in all foods on the label of such foods. Calls for a listing of names and ingredients in such food products to be in order of their predominance after processing and by their common or usual name. Requires a food containing any artificial flavoring, artificial coloring, or chemical preservative to bear a label stating such fact, and prohibits the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare from exempting a given product because compliance would be impracticable.
