HR 6294 United States House · 119th Congress

Childhood Diabetes Reduction Act of 2025

This bill requires new health warning labels on sugar-sweetened beverages, foods containing non-sugar sweeteners, ultra-processed foods, and products high in certain nutrients like added sugar, saturated fat, or sodium. The labels must prominently display warnings about health risks such as obesity and type 2 diabetes using at least 5% of the front packaging area. It also restricts advertising of these foods using child-directed marketing methods that appeal to children, such as cartoon characters, social media influencers, or children's music. The bill authorizes $5 million annually for the Department of Health and Human Services to implement these labeling requirements and $60 million annually for NIH research on nutrition science. Additionally, it creates a public education campaign to help consumers understand the new labels and make healthier choices.
