The important review on “clean food” dietary labels by Negowetti and colleagues (Negowetti et al., 2021) describes potential “public health implications” of this labeling trend and sheds light on the “legal and policy landscape” for regulating labels in the United States. Three commentaries (Chua & Berg, 2021; Ghaderi, 2021; Sharp & McLean, 2021) provide further illumination, offering additional considerations informed by experience in East Asia, Europe, and Australia. The review and accompanying commentaries complement one another and provide rich and varied information and viewpoints relevant to “clean food” labeling. Reading them underscores Negowetti and colleagues’ reference to the “cultural moralization of eating behavior,” highlighting the involvement of cultural and moral dimensions alongside scientific considerations.First, concerning food labeling in general, there is an important cultural dimension that influences both the approach to food labeling and the specific content of food labels, as addressed in the commentary by Chua and Berg. In the United States, a major goal of food labels is to identify accurately the individual ingredients. This atomistic approach is consistent with the emphasis in the United States on specifying the molecular composition of pharmaceuticals. It contrasts with a more holistic approach that characterizes certain forms of traditional medicine, such as Chinese traditional medicine, and is concerned with the correct mixture of ingredients that work together within the bodily system to maintain equilibrium and harmony rather than correcting a specific pathophysiologic abnormality (Kaptchuk, 2000). Consequently, the labeling of traditional medicine (including herbal medicine products) does not necessarily aim for the specificity expected in the United States (Fung & Linn, 2015). Further, as Chua and Berg note, in Malaysia and Singapore there is resistance to strict labeling requirements because “stringent regulations may limit market growth, conflict with consumer demand, and be perceived as challenging deeply held traditions.” Ultimately, the principal value of labeling is to provide information that
