Sodas, Candy to Be Banned From Texas Food Stamp Purchases
- Texas Senate Bill 25, awaiting Gov. Greg Abbott’s signature as of June 1, 2025, would require warning labels on packaged foods with certain additives starting January 1, 2027.
- The bill was motivated by concerns over a list of dozens of additives—such as artificial food colorings and bleached flour—that are permitted in the U.S. but either prohibited or require cautionary labels in other countries.
- The labels must appear prominently and state that the additives are 'not recommended for human consumption' by authorities in Australia, Canada, the EU, or the UK, covering everyday items like Mountain Dew and Doritos.
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Secretary of Health and Human Services, supports the bill as part of his Make America Healthy Again movement, while industry groups warn it creates legal risks, consumer confusion, and higher costs.
- If signed, Texas would enforce new food labeling and nutrition education rules statewide in 2027, potentially influencing other states and prompting industry-wide changes.
