It is clearly not the intent of Congress to penalize supermarkets for failure to display the information. It is our intent, however, for grocery stores to serve as a conduit for the display and dissemination of this information to the greatest extent practical in a manner that will be determined by each store. In other words, we do not intend to impose an unfair burden on grocery stores that would subject them to fines or seizure of products simply because the information is not always available.
