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.
