'Not recommended for human consumption' label may be required on chips, candies in Texas
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A bill sitting on the desk of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott could force the food industry to digest the Make America Healthy Again movement.
Texas Senate Bill 25 would require foods containing certain ingredients to have warning labels on their packaging.
Some chips, candies and sodas would be required to bear the following label: “WARNING: This product contains an ingredient that is not recommended for human consumption.”

There are 44 ingredients listed, such as synthetic food dyes and bleached flour.
M&M’s would need the labeling in question, as they contain red 40, yellow 6 and blue dyes 1 and 2.

Trix cereal contains blue 1 and red 40, while Doritos chips have red 40 and yellow 6 and 5.
If signed into law, the legislation would require the label to be “placed in a prominent and reasonably visible location,” the bill states.

The bill states that the ingredients that should be disclosed are “any artificial color, food additive or other chemical ingredient banned by Canada, the European Union or the United Kingdom.”

Analysis behind the legislation found that 73% of the U.S. food supply is considered ultra-processed, with Americans’ diet consisting of a 57% consumption of ultra-processed foods – “shown to be linked to depression, obesity, Type 2 diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease.”
“The industry is committed to transparency and has long invested in product transparency tools that help consumers to make informed choices for themselves and their families.”
In January, the FDA banned red dye 3, listed in the bill, from foods after being linked to cancer, as Fox News Digital previously reported.
The Consumer Brands Association (CBA), which represents major food manufacturers such as General Mills and PepsiCo, are “urging” Abbott to veto the bill.
“The labeling requirements of SB 25 mandate inaccurate warning language, create legal risks for brands and drive consumer confusion and higher costs,” John Hewitt, senior vice president of state affairs, told Fox News Digital this week.
“The industry is committed to transparency and has long invested in product transparency tools that help consumers to make informed choices for themselves and their families,” Hewitt said.
He added, “No industry is more committed to safety than the makers of America’s trusted household brands. The ingredients used in the U.S. food supply are safe and have been rigorously studied following an objective science and risk-based evaluation process.”

In April, Fox News Digital asked U.S. Health and Human Resources Secretary Robert F. Kennedy about how Americans will be able to identify products that comply with the phase-out of petroleum-based dyes.

“We’re looking at labeling. We have to go to Congress for that — but one of the things that we’re going to do is post all the information we have about every additive on an open-source website,” he said.
“And we’re going to encourage companies … to develop apps in the private marketplace where mothers can go in and scan a barcode of every product in their grocery store and know what’s in them and what’s not.”
If signed by Abbott, food manufacturers would be required to add a label starting on Jan. 1, 2027.

A man wanted for a deadly road rage shooting in Los Angeles was arrested and extradited from Mexico after fleeing the U.S. in 2024.
The suspect was identified as Christian Rojas, 21, of Bellflower, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Authorities had been searching for him since the deadly incident on October 10, 2024.
Rojas and a second suspect, Joshua Rojas Sr., 47, of Downey, were driving on the northbound 5 Freeway in Boyle Heights around 4 p.m. when they became involved in an altercation with another driver that escalated into a shooting.

Video of the tense confrontation showed the suspects, who were driving a Dodge Durango SUV, opening fire on two men in a Cadillac sedan.
The shooting forced the victim to pull over abruptly. That’s when a suspect ran up to the Cadillac, opened the passenger-side door and fired several shots at close range.
In a panic, the Cadillac driver tried to escape by making a sudden U-turn and driving against oncoming traffic. He eventually crashed head-on into several vehicles.
The suspects ditched their SUV and fled toward a freeway exit on foot. The Cadillac driver was left with serious injuries and his passenger was killed. Their identities were not released.
The incident caused a miles-long backup that left thousands of motorists stranded on the freeway for hours and authorities worked to clear the scene.
Following an extensive investigation, detectives identified the two men as the suspects involved.
Joshua Rojas Sr. was arrested in San Bernardino on October 22, 2024, on a murder charge. He remains in custody awaiting trial.
Meanwhile, Christian Rojas had fled the U.S. and was hiding in Mexico, detectives said. A $4.3 million bail warrant was issued for his arrest.
“Through a coordinated international effort, investigators determined that Rojas was living in Palomo de Arriba, Mexico,” CHP officials said. “The U.S. Marshals Service worked with Mexican state police to locate and arrest him on the outstanding warrant.”
On June 2, 2026, Christian was arrested and extradited to the U.S. to face a murder charge.
“This arrest demonstrates that time and distance will not shield violent offenders from justice,” said CHP Southern Division Chief Chris Margaris. “For nearly two years, our detectives remained relentless in their pursuit of those responsible for this senseless act of violence. Through exceptional collaboration with the United States Marshals Service and our law enforcement partners in Mexico, we located and apprehended this suspect and brought him back to face the charges. We remain committed to protecting the public, supporting victims and their families, and holding violent criminals accountable wherever they may try to hide.”
The northbound 405 Freeway will remain closed for several hours near Los Angeles International Airport after a police pursuit ended with officers opening fire Friday morning. Unconfirmed reports indicated the incident began with a robbery at a 7-Eleven store, which ended with Los Angeles Police Department officers pursuing the suspect in a Kia. The chase […]
