Requires warning labels on unhealthy foods and bans junk food ads for kids
This bill would put clear warning labels on sugary drinks, foods and drinks with artificial sweeteners, ultra-processed foods, and items high in fat or salt. It would also stop companies from advertising these "junk foods" directly to children under 13. The goal is to help families make healthier choices and reduce childhood diabetes and obesity.
Today, most foods and drinks do not have mandatory warning labels on the front of their packages, even if they are high in sugar, unhealthy fats, or are ultra-processed. Companies can also advertise these products directly to children without specific restrictions. If this bill becomes law, many foods and drinks would carry clear warning labels on the front, and companies would be banned from advertising "junk food" to children under 13, while also being required to show warning labels in all "junk food" ads.
