This bill would require food manufacturers to clearly label products on the front of the package if they contain insects, insect parts, or insect-derived ingredients. The legislation amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to establish that foods lacking such prominent labeling would be considered misbranded and therefore illegal to sell. The requirement would apply to any food product containing insect ingredients, affecting manufacturers who use insects or insect-derived materials in their products. The bill provides manufacturers with a 180-day grace period after enactment to comply with the new labeling requirements. No specific federal funding is authorized in the bill, as it primarily establishes a labeling mandate for the food industry.
