What Role Does Regulation Play in Clean Label Initiatives?
Regulation is crucial in ensuring the authenticity of clean label claims. Regulatory agencies, such as the FDA in the United States, establish guidelines and standards for labeling practices. These guidelines help protect consumers from misleading claims and ensure that products labeled as "clean" truly adhere to safety and transparency standards. Toxicologists often work with regulatory bodies to assess the safety of ingredients and help develop regulations that support clean labeling.
