#ResilientCommunities Webinar: Consumer Transparency That Works: Insights for State Policymakers

Consumers want clear, accessible information about the products they use every day, from food and beverages to household and personal care items. These panelists discussed ways consumer packaged goods’ brands are advancing transparency through initiatives like SmartLabel®, Facts Up Front, Food Processing Facts, and Truth About Ingredients—and why avoiding a state patchwork of rules support an affordability agenda.
