Requires retail food establishments to provide disclosures for certain caffeinated beverages.
This bill requires New Jersey retail food establishments (like restaurants and cafes) to clearly display a "High caffeine" warning next to any beverage containing 80 milligrams or more of caffeine per serving. The disclosure must appear directly beside the beverage name on all menus, including digital displays and drive-through boards. Businesses failing to comply face fines of $200-$500 for a first offense and $500-$1,000 for repeat violations, enforced by health departments. The law also prohibits local governments from creating conflicting caffeine disclosure rules, making this a statewide requirement.
