Strengthens nutrient information on food labels to improve public health.

The bill mandates the Secretary of Health and Human Services to finalize a proposed rule on front-of-package nutrition information. It requires food labels to highlight high levels of added sugars, sodium, and saturated fat, and to include Daily Reference Values and percent Daily Values for these nutrients. The bill also mandates a statement on foods containing non-nutritive sweeteners, advising against their consumption by children. These measures aim to support healthier food choices and improve public health by making nutritional information more accessible and understandable.
