Dem Tx Rep Barbara Gervin Hawkins is trying to reverse the new Texas law requiring warning labels...

on food containing hazardous ingredients,

"This comes right after Big Food lobbyists made a visit to Austin and spent millions

“Texas just passed a law that changed the game for processed food. Starting in 2027, any food product sold in Texas that contains one of 44 banned or restricted ingredients additives will have to carry this label. ‘Warning. This product contains an ingredient not recommended for human consumption by authorities in the EU, UK, Canada, or Australia.’ Included in those 44 ingredients is bleached flour, found in a lot of processed foods.

— As soon as the food industry executives caught wind of what Texas was doing, they descended on Austin like a plague. The lobbying fury began. The money poured in by the millions. And then we hear it. Listen to State Representative Barbara Gervin Hawkins. ‘What we don't want to do is destroy anyone's business and or create such a burden or financial cost that the cost of food will continue to rise’”

“What a cowardly, mousy thing to say. Freshly printed script right from Big Food. If we have additives in our food that are causing chronic illness, especially those targeting children, I don't care what we have to do to pull out of that infernal pit. But we gotta get out.”"
