Texas Considers Warning Labels for Junk Food: Will Abbott Sign the Bill?

Texas lawmakers have approved a bill that would require warning labels on food products containing certain ingredients that are not recommended for human consumption. The bill, which is now awaiting Governor Greg Abbott's signature, would require manufacturers to label products containing synthetic food dyes and bleached flour. These ingredients are legal in the US but are banned or regulated in other countries. "Some foods and drinks, including M&Ms, Doritos and Mountain Dew, could soon have warning labels in Texas," reports CBS Mornings. The proposed legislation has sparked controversy, with food manufacturers arguing that it could undermine local economies and increase prices. 'Manufacturers are blasting the bill, arguing it could undermine local economies and drive up prices,' the video states. The outcome remains uncertain, pending Governor Abbott's decision on whether to sign the bill into law. This decision will have significant consequences for both the food industry and Texas consumers.
