REAL Sugar Act

The REAL Sugar Act would prohibit high fructose corn syrup in foods intended for human consumption by amending the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. This change directly affects food manufacturers and distributors who currently use this sweetener in their products. The prohibition is delayed, applying only to items introduced into interstate commerce two years after the law's enactment. Additionally, the Secretary of Health and Human Services must submit a report to Congress three years later detailing industry reformulation efforts and any necessary regulatory changes.
