The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is the agency responsible for monitoring advertising practices and ensuring that they are not deceptive or misleading. The use of clear glass marbles to misrepresent the amount of solid ingredients in the soup would fall under the FTC's jurisdiction. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) typically regulates the safety and labeling of food products, but in this case, it is the misleading advertising practice that is at issue, rather than safety or labeling. The U.S. Department of Justice, Better Business Bureau, and American Marketing Association may also be involved in consumer protection issues, but they do not have the primary responsibility for monitoring advertising practices.
