Sarah Katz Caffeine Safety Act

The Sarah Katz Caffeine Safety Act would require restaurants and retail food establishments with 20 or more locations to label menu items containing 150 milligrams or more of caffeine per serving with a "High caffeine" warning. It would mandate that packaged foods and dietary supplements with more than 10 milligrams of caffeine display the exact caffeine content, whether naturally occurring or added, along with a safety advisory about daily limits (400 milligrams for healthy adults). The bill directs the FDA to review caffeine safety in food and beverages, and the NIH to study caffeine's effects on vulnerable populations including children, pregnant women, and those with heart conditions or mental health conditions. It also requires a public education campaign about caffeine safety and a GAO study on the marketing of caffeinated beverages to children and teens, with reports due within 6 months and 180 days respectively.
