Sarah Katz Caffeine Safety Act (HR2511)
Current understanding
HR2511 would require caffeine content labeling on foods and dietary supplements containing more than 10 mg of caffeine, mandate ‘high caffeine’ disclosures on menus at large restaurant chains, and direct the FDA to reassess whether caffeine should retain its Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status. The bill is named after Sarah Katz, whose death was linked to a highly caffeinated beverage. Status: introduced in the House.
