/>i- On May 26, 2025, the Texas House passed SB 25 with bipartisan support. SB 25, also known as the ‘Make Texas Healthy Again’ bill, focuses on promoting nutritional awareness and physical education in schools and improving food labeling practices. The bill would also establish a Nutrition Advisory Committee to help establish, develop, and maintain nutritional guidance within the State.
- SB 25 also requires food manufacturers to either remove prohibited ingredients listed within the bill—such as Red 40 and titanium dioxide—or place a warning label on the product that reads: “WARNING: This product contains an ingredient that is not recommended for human consumption by the appropriate authority in Australia, Canada, the European Union, or the United Kingdom.” This language was amended from what was reported on in a previous blog post. The latest version of the bill makes clear that it does not apply to dietary supplements (among other listed situations).
- Notably, the bill removed high fructose corn syrup from the list of prohibited ingredients following opposition from numerous food companies after it was introduced. The industry’s opposition letter also urged legislators to remove the warning label requirement, but the proposed amendment did not pass through the House.
- SB 25 is now heading to Governor Greg Abbott’s desk to be signed into law. The bill would take effect on September 1, 2025.
