Doritos and Skittles could carry ‘not recommended for human consumption' warning labels in certain parts of the US
Some of America's favorite snacks may be banned in certain parts of the U.S. if the packaging does not warn about certain ingredients. New legislation in Texas would warn consumers in the state about ingredients that are 'not recommended for human consumption' in other countries, but still allowed in the U.S., Bloomberg reported. More than 40 ingredients, from synthetic food dyes to bleached flour, would require warning labels on the products' packaging starting in 2027, if the bill is signed into law. The legislation would affect snacks and candies such as Nacho Cheese Doritos, Little Bites Chocolate Chip Muffins, Skittles, M&Ms and Sour Patch Kids Watermelon, as well as breakfast cereals and sodas such as Froot Loops, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Mountain Dew. If the bill is signed by Governor Greg Abbott, it would affect snacks sold statewide. This could also open the door for a nationwide switch-up. Bloomberg reported that companies forced to comply with state regulations often chose to roll out changes across the whole country to streamline production. Abbott has less than 20 days to sign the bill, and it's unclear whether he will. His press secretary, Andrew Mahaleris, told Bloomberg before the bill was sent to the governor: 'Abbott will continue to work with the legislature to ensure Texans have access to healthy foods to care for themselves and their families and will thoughtfully review any legislation they send to his desk.' If the bill is signed into law, there are instances when the state-mandated labeling won't be required: if the Food and Drug Administration or Department of Agriculture deems an ingredient safe, restricts its use or bans it after September 1. Industry groups and companies, including food and drink makers and retail giant Walmart, had sent a letter to Texas lawmakers 'in strong opposition' to the bill. 'As it's written, the food labeling provision in this bill casts an incredibly wide net — triggering warning labels on everyday grocery items based on assertions that foreign governments have banned such items, rather than on standards established by Texas regulators or by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration,' read the letter, which had circulated on social media. The letter warned that this potential change 'could destabilize local and regional economies at a time when businesses are already fighting to keep prices down, maintain inventory, and avoid layoffs.' If the bill did get signed into law, it would be a win for not only Texas lawmakers but Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a vocal critic of certain chemicals in food like synthetic dyes. Supporters of the Texas bill have claimed that Kennedy backs the legislation, Bloomberg reported. According to the outlet, Texas Representative Lacey Hull claimed she received a call from the HHS secretary when it passed.

U.S. Job Growth Crashes--Is a Fed Rate Cut Now Inevitable?
Private-sector hiring just hit a wall. In May, U.S. companies added only 37,000 jobsthe slowest pace in over two yearsaccording to fresh data from ADP (NASDAQ:ADP). That's not a typo. It came in below every economist's estimate in a Bloomberg survey. Business services, manufacturing, trade, education, and even the Northeast region all saw job losses. Small and large companies alike trimmed payrolls. The only bright spots? Leisure, hospitality, and finance. Treasury yields slipped. The S&P 500 nudged higher. And in typical fashion, Donald Trump took to social media to demand that Fed Chair Jerome Powell cut ratesagain. The bigger story here might be what's not being said. Labor markets are softening, and it's starting to show up in hiring delays and longer unemployment spells. While the Fed has held rates steadywaiting for inflation to cool and tariffs to play outmarkets are watching closely. Especially as Europe has already cut rates seven times since June 2024, with another trim likely this week. In contrast, U.S. policymakers have stayed on the sidelines. But as business sentiment deteriorates and hiring stalls, that position could be harder to maintain. The pressure's mountingpolitically and economically. That said, wage growth hasn't rolled over yet. Workers switching jobs saw a 7% pay bump; those staying put got a 4.5% raise. But don't let that mask the caution. A University of Michigan survey showed a majority of consumers now expect business conditions to worsen over the next yearand unemployment to climb. Some economists, like Pantheon Macroeconomics, are brushing off the ADP numbers. They're betting on 110,000 new private payrolls in the government report due Friday. Still, with ADP tracking over 25 million jobs, even a soft signal is worth noting. Investors may want to brace for a bumpy ride as macro uncertainty drags on longer than expected.
