Anti-Money Laundering (AML) refers to policies and practices that prevent, detect, and report financial crimes. The principal U.S. federal law on money laundering is the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), also known as the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970. The BSA generally mandates financial institutions to assist in governmental investigations by keeping records of cash purchases or negotiable instruments, filing reports of cash transactions exceeding a set daily aggregate amount, and reporting suspicious activity that may hint at money laundering, tax evasion, or other criminal activities.

What Does “No Sugar Added” Mean?
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has set guidelines regarding the meaning of no sugar added. The FDA provides specific labeling requirements for the nutrient content of foods and claims about those foods. According to the FDA, when manufacturers claim a food has “no added sugars,” it cannot be processed with any sugar or sugar-containing ingredients, though it can have sugar alcohol or artificial sweeteners. Products without added sugar can contain naturally occurring sugar.
