The REAL Sugar Act would ban high fructose corn syrup from all foods intended for human consumption by amending federal food safety laws. The ban would take effect two years after the bill becomes law, giving food manufacturers time to reformulate their products with alternative sweeteners. The legislation affects all food producers and manufacturers who currently use high fructose corn syrup as an ingredient, as well as consumers who purchase these products. Within three years of enactment, the Secretary of Health and Human Services must report to Congress on how the food industry has adapted to the ban, what FDA regulations have been implemented, and whether additional action is needed.
