The Obama Administration believed the economic cost of its regulatory surge was justified, which is a fair topic for debate. What once was a requirement that food labeling must be truthful and non-misleading now occupies thousands of pages of regulations. More frustrating, for the label changes that have been ordered, a uniform implementation date has not been set. To do so would avoid repeated label changes and save consumers billions of food dollars. Far beyond food labeling and even before engaging controversial regulatory requirements, substantial economic benefit may readily be achieved by common-sense application of regulatory requirements.
