What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill would require health warning labels on certain foods and drinks, including those with added sugar, non-sugar sweeteners, high levels of nutrients like sodium or saturated fat, and ultra-processed items. The warnings would need to appear on product labels and in advertisements, and they must include information about health risks like diabetes. The bill also bans advertising these products directly to children and gives the Federal Trade Commission back the power to regulate ads aimed at kids, which it lost in 1980. Finally, it calls for more research on nutrition and a public education campaign about healthy eating and the new warning labels.
