House Panel Debates Trimmed-Down Truth in Packaging Bill
Congress races the clock as the House Commerce Committee weighs a scaled back truth in packaging bill. After a 72 to 9 Senate vote, the measure would curb deceptive labeling and allow price comparisons while avoiding broad standardization. Prospects dim due to time, possible House Rules hurdles, and Senate hesitancy to accept a watered-down version. Rep. Staggers and others warn about costs to consumers and debate the need for serving definitions amid varied product sizes.
