Abstract

One might expect--given the vastly different look, feel, and function of the ubiquitous (and innocuous) Nutrition Facts panel and the "inflammatory" graphic warning labels for cigarettes--that the statutes establishing such disclosure requirements would exhibit similar disparities. In fact, the relevant provisions of the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 and the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act of 2009 are. quite analogous. Like other mandated disclosures, the nutrition label and the cigarette. graphic warnings seek to simultaneously inform and influence consumer decisions. Both statutes grant FDA considerable discretion in.the implementation of the labeling requirements, generally allowing the agency to alter the format and content of the labels as necessary to promote the statutory goals. Thus, the differences in the nutrition and cigarette warning labels are not the product of the statutory schemes alone; rather, they reflect important differences in FDA's interpretation and prioritization of the dual regulatory goals, and in the agency's implicit or explicit assumptions about human behavior.

"带着黄油刀去打枪战"?烟草使用和肥胖症流行的显著性、信息披露和 FDA 的不同方法。
考虑到无处不在的(无害的)营养信息面板和香烟的 "煽动性 "图形警告标签在外观、感觉和功能上的巨大差异,人们可能会认为,制定此类披露要求的法规也会表现出类似的差异。事实上,1990 年的《营养标签和教育法》和 2009 年的《家庭吸烟预防和烟草控制法》的相关规定非常相似。与其他强制披露的信息一样,营养标签和香烟图形警示试图同时告知和影响消费者的决定。这两项法规在实施标签要求时都赋予了食品药品管理局相当大的自由裁量权,通常允许该局在必要时改变标签的格式和内容,以促进实现法定目标。因此,营养标签和香烟警示标签的不同并不仅仅是法定方案的产物;相反,它们反映了食品和药物管理局对双重监管目标的解释和优先顺序的重要差异,以及该机构对人类行为的隐含或明确假设。
