Texas Bill Would Require Warning Label on some Popular Snack Foods

  • Texas Senate Bill 25, passed by the legislature and awaiting Governor Greg Abbott's June 22 decision, would require warning labels on packaged foods containing over 40 additives banned overseas starting in 2027.
  • The bill responds to concerns about synthetic dyes, preservatives, and texturizers like titanium dioxide, which remain legal in the U.S. but are banned or restricted in countries such as the European Union and Canada.
  • Mars announced in late May that it removed titanium dioxide from U.S. Skittles, a pigment linked by a 2022 White House report to potential cellular and DNA damage and oxidative stress.
  • A report titled Make America Healthy Again highlights concerns that titanium dioxide may cause damage to cells and DNA, referencing a 2022 study that links the compound to oxidative stress.
  • If signed, the Texas law could prompt nationwide labeling changes and encourage federal regulatory action on food additives, despite opposition from major food industry groups concerned about economic impacts.
