Bill > HR10370

This bill, named the "Sarah Katz Caffeine Safety Act", proposes comprehensive regulations around caffeine labeling and safety, targeting restaurants, food establishments, and food/dietary supplement manufacturers. The bill requires restaurants with 20 or more locations to disclose caffeine content on menus, specifically labeling items with 150+ milligrams of caffeine as "High caffeine" and listing the exact milligram amount. For food and dietary supplements containing more than 10 milligrams of caffeine, labels must now include the total milligrams of caffeine, specify whether the caffeine is naturally occurring or added, and include an advisory statement about the recommended daily caffeine limit for healthy adults (currently 400 milligrams). Additionally, the bill mandates a study by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to examine caffeine's effects on vulnerable populations like children, pregnant women, and individuals with heart or mental health conditions. The legislation also requires the FDA to conduct a comprehensive safety review of caffeine in food and dietary supplements, develop a public education campaign about caffeine consumption, and directs the Government Accountability Office to study the marketing practices of caffeinated beverages, with a specific focus on how these products are marketed to children and teens.
