This bill would prohibit high-fructose corn syrup in food products by classifying any food containing this ingredient as adulterated under federal law. The legislation would affect food manufacturers and producers across the United States, who would be required to reformulate products containing high-fructose corn syrup or remove them from the market. The bill provides a one-year implementation period after enactment before the new rules take effect, giving manufacturers time to adjust their production. No specific funding is allocated in the bill. The measure would significantly impact the food industry, as high-fructose corn syrup is currently used in thousands of processed foods and beverages sold in the United States.
