To amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to require labeling of food products containing insects, and for other purposes.
HR 7974 would require food manufacturers to clearly label on the front of packages if a product contains insects, insect parts, or insect-derived ingredients. This rule applies to all food sold across state lines and must be visible and prominent to consumers. The labeling requirement would take effect 180 days after the bill becomes law. The bill does not ban insect-based foods but mandates transparency for shoppers about these ingredients.
