HB 4198

In plain language

The bill would require makers of packaged foods to put a red‑yellow‑green label on the front of each package showing whether the product is high, medium, or low in fat, saturated fat, sugar, and salt, covering at least 15 % of the visible surface. It gives manufacturers one year to start, exempts pre‑packaged condiments, and sets fines that rise with repeated violations, with the money used for school nutrition‑education programs.
