Texas approves law requiring warning labels for food additives

June 24, 2025 from Food Dive:

• "Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed a law that requires potentially thousands of snacks and other packaged food products to carry warning labels saying they contain ingredients “not recommended for human consumption” in other countries.

  "The law mandates disclosures for more than 40 ingredients, including food dyes and additives commonly used in food processing to help with texture, taste or shelf life. The legislation applies to food product labels developed or copyrighted on or after Jan. 1, 2027.

  "Federal action could overturn aspects of the law, including what’s subject to the legislation. The law would no longer apply if the FDA instituted its own labeling requirements and ingredients could be exempted if the agency approved their safety."
