## Summary

**Creates a strict 5% misbranding threshold: a food would be misbranded if its actual nutrient content exceeds the Nutrition Facts label by more than 5%.** It would require the FDA to update Nutrition Facts labeling regulations promptly and to anchor the change to the regulatory text as of Jan 1, 2026. - Families and shoppers would get tighter label accuracy for nutrients required on the Nutrition Facts label because products that exceed declared values by more than 5% could be flagged as misbranded. - Food manufacturers would need to ensure the composite nutrient content stays within 5% of the declared value for required nutrients to avoid misbranding. - The Department of Health and Human Services, acting through the Food and Drug Administration, must revise 21 CFR 101.9 to reflect the amendment within 60 days and reference the regulations as they stood on Jan 1, 2026.
