MAHA-friendly bill in Texas would put warning labels on foods with any of 44 additives

STAT

A “Make America Healthy Again”-friendly bill in Texas would put warning labels on foods with any of 44 additives.

Gov. Greg Abbott has not said whether he intends to sign Senate Bill 25 into law, but if he did, starting in 2027, food like Doritos and M&Ms would be required to brandish high-contrast labels with the phrase “WARNING: This product contains an ingredient that is not recommended for human consumption by the appropriate authority in Australia, Canada, the European Union, or the United Kingdom.”

Dr. Christina Roberto told STAT: “I continue to be really excited by the fact that states that have not typically wanted to pushback on the food industry or do much to regulate it are now really seeing the value in that.”
