Requires clearer labels on toddler drinks to prevent confusion and highlight added sugars.
This bill would require new, clearer labels on drinks made for toddlers. It would stop companies from calling these drinks "formula" and make them clearly state if the drinks have added sugars or flavors. This helps parents make more informed choices about what their children, aged 12 to 36 months, drink.
Today, regulations do not clearly stop toddler drinks from using terms like "infant formula" or require specific names that highlight added sugars or flavors. Labels also don't have to include disclaimers about infant consumption or dietary recommendations for children aged 12 to 36 months. If this bill passes, toddler drinks would be clearly separated from infant formula. Their labels would have descriptive names, clearly state if they contain added sugars or flavors, and include warnings against serving them to infants or recommending them for younger toddlers due to added sugars. Companies would also be banned from suggesting a daily serving amount.
