CA AB2632

Revised nonfunctional slack fill exceptions for commodities containers under the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act, adding a new exception for modes of commerce that do not allow consumers to view or handle the physical container or product.

Extended the exception for modes of commerce to apply to food containers subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, aligning state law with federal requirements.

Clarified that slack fill in packaging cannot be used to establish violations based solely on its presence unless it is nonfunctional slack fill.

Applied the same packaging and labeling standards and exceptions across three separate state statutes: Business and Professions Code Section 12606 (commodities), Section 12606.2 (food containers), and Health and Safety Code Section 110375 (Sherman Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Law).

Mandated that food container regulations be interpreted consistently with federal Food and Drug Administration guidance on Section 403(d) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
