Group Urges FTC Crackdown on ‘Misleading’ Food Ads: A day after the government barred Haagen-Dazs from making low-fat claims about its rich frozen yogurt, a consumer organization urged a similar crackdown on other foods. Washington, D.C.-based Center for Science in the Public Interest said advertisers routinely make misleading claims that foods are more healthful than the data on their labels say. Label information is closely regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. The Federal Trade Commission has said advertising must adhere to many of the same standards as food labels. But CSPI, in a report to be delivered to the FTC today, said the agency is not enforcing that policy.
