A Texas judge blocks a law requiring warning labels on foods with synthetic dyes and bleached flour, citing First Amendment concerns.
A Texas federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction blocking the state's law requiring warning labels on foods with synthetic dyes and bleached flour, ruling the mandate likely violates the First Amendment by compelling speech.
The law, Senate Bill 25, claimed these ingredients are not recommended by foreign health authorities, a claim industry groups dispute.
The judge found the state failed to prove the labels would effectively improve public health or that less restrictive alternatives, like education campaigns, wouldn’t suffice.
The decision follows similar challenges in West Virginia and comes amid ongoing federal scrutiny of food additives, including the FDA’s push to phase out petroleum-based dyes.
The injunction halts the law’s implementation until the case is resolved.
