Stop Spoonfuls of Fake Sugar Act of 2024

HR 8688, the Stop Spoonfuls of Fake Sugar Act of 2024, would amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to classify human food containing high-fructose corn syrup as "adulterated" and therefore prohibited from sale. This would directly affect food manufacturers and retailers selling products with high-fructose corn syrup, requiring them to reformulate or remove this ingredient. The key provision adds a new subsection (j) to Section 402, making any human food containing high-fructose corn syrup illegal for sale, with the rule taking effect one year after the bill becomes law. The bill focuses on a specific ingredient change in food safety regulation, not broader dietary policy.
