Food Labeling Modernization Act of 2026

This bill would change federal food labeling rules. Packaged foods would need front-of-package labels saying "High in" for added sugars, sodium, or saturated fat, and a notice when they contain non-nutritive sweeteners. Labels would also have to show the share of whole grains and the amount of fruit, vegetables, or yogurt when a package makes those claims. Labels would have to list the specific ingredients in "natural flavor" and "spices," state caffeine and phosphorus amounts, list gluten-containing grains with allergens, and disclose artificial dyes and flavorings. Manufacturers would submit label information to a public FDA database, online sellers would have to show label information before purchase, and most changes would apply 3 years after enactment.
