Abstract
Accounting for Taste examines the history of the US Food and Drug
Administration’s regulation of markets through labels as a form of
public–private infrastructure, built through the ceaseless work (and
antagonisms) of public regulators, the food industry, and expert advisors. From
public hearings on setting “standards of identity” for foods to rule making on
informative labels like the Nutrition Facts panel, it links a narrow history of
institutional change in food regulation to broader cultural anxieties of
twentieth-century America, arguing that the recurrence to informative labels as
a political solution reflects a transformation in not only scientific
understandings of dietary risk but also cultural understandings about the
responsibility of consumers. In describing this “informational turn” in food
politics, the dissertation foregrounds the important role of intermediaries,
specifically consumer and health experts, and intermediate spaces, such as
labels, in the framing of political debates about the production and
consumption of everyday goods.
