This bill requires food manufacturers to clearly label products containing synthetic dyes, artificial or natural flavorings, and nonnutritive sweeteners (like artificial sweeteners) on the front of packaging. Currently, these ingredients can be listed only in the small ingredient list on the back or side of packages. The legislation amends federal food labeling laws to consider foods missing these disclosures as "misbranded," which allows the government to take action against non-compliant products. The bill applies to most foods but excludes dietary supplements. No specific funding or implementation timeline is mentioned in the legislation, and it would be enforced by existing food safety authorities under current regulatory mechanisms.
