Mandatory Labeling to Inform Consumers About Product Size Reduction (Shrinkflation).
This law requires manufacturers to clearly label consumer product packaging if they have reduced the size or quantity of the product without a corresponding price decrease. This measure aims to increase transparency, helping citizens make better-informed purchasing decisions and protecting them from hidden price increases. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will enforce these new labeling rules, treating non-compliance as a deceptive business practice.
