The FDA regulates all food labels however the FDA does not regulate cosmetics, personal care products,prescriptions, or over the counter medication or supplements. So it is super important to read labels when you are grocery shopping. In fact this website has a pocket size list just for you.  One last tip it is important to check labels everytime you buy something labels change without notice.
