Bill > HR5882

This bill, called the "No Tricks on Treats Act of 2025", would amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to require food packaging to prominently disclose the presence of certain additives on the principal display panel. Specifically, the bill mandates that food packages must clearly state if the product contains synthetic dyes (which are batch-certified color additives regulated by the FDA), added artificial or natural flavorings, or nonnutritive sweeteners. The requirement applies to all food products except dietary supplements, and the disclosure must be on the principal display panel of the packaging. The goal appears to be increasing transparency for consumers about the ingredients in their food, allowing them to make more informed choices about the additives they consume. By requiring these disclosures to be prominent, the bill aims to ensure that consumers can easily see and understand the presence of these additives before purchasing or consuming a food product.
