Caffeine Safety: New Labels and Studies for Consumers
This act introduces new rules for labeling caffeine-containing products in restaurants and stores to better inform consumers. It mandates disclosure of high caffeine content and the amount of caffeine in beverages and supplements. Additionally, it commissions studies on caffeine's health effects and public education campaigns, aiming for safer caffeine consumption.
Key points
Chain restaurants (20+ locations) must label high-caffeine beverages (over 150 mg) as 'High caffeine' on menus.
Food and supplement packaging with caffeine (over 10 mg) must include caffeine amount, origin (natural/added), and recommended daily limit (400 mg).
Studies will be conducted on caffeine's effects on vulnerable populations (children, pregnant women, heart conditions) and a safety review of caffeine in food.
A public education campaign on safe caffeine consumption and overconsumption dangers will be launched.
A study will investigate the marketing of caffeinated beverages, focusing on misleading practices and targeting children and teens.
