Summary

The bill orders the HHS Secretary, through the FDA, to change regulations so that any powdered or liquid beverage for children over 12 months cannot be called “infant formula” and must use clear, descriptive names. It also mandates warning labels and bans claims about daily intake, aiming to protect toddlers from misleading marketing and added sugars. The new rules would take effect three years after the law is enacted.
