The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates how containers are filled in order to prevent the sale of partially filled containers that mislead consumers on the amount of food or supplements in a package. The FDA defines nonfunctional slack fill as the difference between the capacity of a container and the volume of product inside. Slack fill lawsuits have been filed against food and beverage makers who left empty space in a container for reasons other than functional ones, such as protecting contents or complying with shipping requirements.
