This bill mandates that retail food establishments in New Jersey provide clear disclosures for beverages containing 150 milligrams or more of total caffeine per serving. The required disclosure must include the statement "High caffeine" or a similar warning approved by the Commissioner of Health, and it must be prominently displayed next to the beverage name on all menus, including drive-through boards. The bill also outlines the process for enforcement, stating that if a violation is suspected or reported, the Department of Health or local health board will notify the establishment and require corrective action.

Violations of this bill will result in penalties ranging from $200 to $500 for the first offense and $500 to $1,000 for subsequent offenses, with jurisdiction for enforcement resting with municipal courts. The bill clarifies that it does not create or enhance any civil liability under state law and prohibits local governments from enacting conflicting regulations. This legislation is inspired by the need for increased consumer awareness regarding caffeine consumption, particularly following the tragic death of Sarah Katz, and aims to promote public health and safety by ensuring consumers are informed about the caffeine content in beverages.
