Speaker Menin outlines Intro 547B on added sugar warning labels
Menin describes Intro 547B by Oswald Feliz, requiring DOHMH to designate warning symbols and statements for food items meeting or exceeding 100% daily value for added sugars, with public education outreach.
Introduction 547B, sponsored by Councilmember Oswald-Feliz, would require the DOHMH to designate warning symbols and statements be displayed
next to listed food items that meet or exceed 100% of the daily value for added sugars.
This bill would also require that DOHMH issue warnings for noncompliance, as well as conduct a public education outreach campaign to educate food establishments about the new requirements.
