A 6072 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires retail food establishments to provide disclosures for certain caffeinated beverages.

This bill requires New Jersey retail food establishments (like restaurants and cafes) to clearly label beverages containing 150 milligrams or more of caffeine per serving with a "High caffeine" notice or approved symbol. The disclosure must appear directly next to the beverage name on all menus, including digital displays and drive-thru boards. Violations carry fines of $200-$500 for the first offense and $500-$1,000 for repeat offenses, enforced by the Department of Health or local health boards. The law preempts local regulations on caffeine disclosures and prohibits private lawsuits for non-compliance.
