Texas Attorney General Investigates Misleading “Heart-Healthy” Food Labels
Texas AG Ken Paxton probes food companies for misleading "heart-healthy" labels on unhealthy products.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has initiated an investigation into several major food manufacturers for potentially deceiving consumers with misleading “heart-healthy” labels on products that may be unhealthy. This probe, citing the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, targets companies like Frito Lay and Flora Food Group, particularly focusing on items high in added sugars and refined grains. Paxton criticized these labels for promoting select health benefits while obscuring harmful ingredients, such as those in Mazola Canola Oil and Sun Chips, which can contribute to serious health issues. His commitment to consumer protection underscores the urgency of honest food marketing practices.
