In September 2025, a new Texas law took effect requiring food producers doing business in the state to place warning labels on products containing any of 44 specified artificial colors, chemicals, and additives.  The labeling requirement applies to products manufactured on or after January 1, 2027, after which violations may trigger penalties of up to $50,000 per day.

We recently posted an article on Hunton’s Privacy & Information Security Law Blog on a newly issued federal district court opinion citing that New York City’s “Consumer Data Law” violated the First Amendment and the regulation of commercial speech.  A federal judge declared the municipal law requiring food-delivery companies to share customer data with restaurants unconstitutional.
