It seems like a lot of magazines, newspapers, TVs, websites, etc, warn people about false information on the food labels.

They are deceptive. For instance, a product might say it's only 90 calories but you need to read how many servings are in the product you are buying. A small bag of potato chips might have 100 calories per serving and there are three servings per bag. That means that if you eat the whole bag you are eating 300 calories.
Hope that helps.

Over here, and in Australia, they are supposed to be correct by law.
I don't know how that applies in the States, and it could be in practise in different states.
I imagine the Food Administration would have a ton of information on their website.

On the "Nutrition Facts" label, yes, it must be. If for some reason it is not, the FDA will come down hard on them. Now, teh claims on the front "High Fiber" or "Healthy and Natural" are up to your interpretation.
