Industry Impact

Which industries are materially affected by specific provisions in this bill. 7 harmed.

  • βˆ’Agribusinessconfidence 0.90

    Section 101(a) requires health warning labels on sugar-sweetened beverages, non-sugar sweeteners, ultra-processed foods, and foods with nutrients of concern, which would affect agribusiness products like sugary drinks, processed foods, and sweeteners derived from crops (e.g., corn syrup, sugar).

  • Section 101(a) requires warning labels on menus and packaging for ultra-processed foods, sugar-sweetened beverages, etc., sold by restaurants. Section 101(b) restricts child-directed advertising of such foods, affecting kids' meal marketing (e.g., McDonald's Happy Meals).

  • Section 101(a) mandates warning labels on ultra-processed foods and foods with nutrients of concern (e.g., saturated fat, sodium), which includes many processed meat and dairy products (e.g., sausages, flavored yogurts, cheese products) produced by this industry.

  • βˆ’Crop Producersconfidence 0.70

    Section 101(a) targets sugar-sweetened beverages and ultra-processed foods, which rely heavily on crops like corn (for high-fructose corn syrup), sugar beets/cane, and soy (for additives). Reduced demand for these ingredients could affect crop producers.

  • Section 202 restricts child-directed advertising of junk food on traditional media (TV, radio, print) where children comprise β‰₯30% of audience, reducing ad revenue for broadcasters and publishers that rely on food and beverage advertising.

  • Section 202 includes electronic media (social media, online videos, influencer content) in child-directed advertising restrictions, potentially reducing digital ad spending by food companies on platforms served by telecom and broadband providers (indirect effect).
