Rhode Island H7065 mandates a 50% reduction in added sugars in all liquid beverages sold in the state by January 1, 2030.

Rhode Island H7065 requires a 50% reduction in the amount of added sugars in all liquid beverages sold in Rhode Island starting January 1, 2030. The bill amends the "Truth in Food Disclosure Law" to mandate that the total amount of added sugars in beverages must be cut by half compared to their content as of July 1, 2026. The definition of "added sugars" follows the Food and Drug Administration rules on food labeling. The bill also ensures that the amount of added sugars is listed on the beverage container as required by state and federal law.
