According to amendments to the 2012 spending bill adopted on 16 December in the House and on 17 December in the Senate, the US Congress will require the Interagency Working Group (IWG) on food marketed to children to conduct a cost-benefit analysis before releasing any recommendations for marketing to children. The IWG is composed of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the Agriculture Department, the Food and Drug Administration and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
