                            ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE ON HEALTH
                                 Richard Pan, Chair
                    SB 1000 (Monning) - As Amended:  May 27, 2014

           SENATE VOTE  :  21-13
           
          SUBJECT  :  Public health: sugar-sweetened beverages: safety  
          warnings.

           SUMMARY  :  Establishes the Sugar-Sweetened Beverages Safety  
          Warning Act (Act), to be administered by the Department of  
          Public Health (DPH) and requires a safety warning on sugar  
          sweetened beverages (SSBs), as specified.  Requires the safety  
          warning to be printed on, or affixed to, a beverage container,  
          vending machine, or self-service dispenser.  Requires the label  
          to be posted in a place that is easily visible at the  
          point-of-purchase of an establishment where a beverage  
          dispensing machine is not self-serve.  Specifically,  this bill  :   


          1)Establishes the Sugar-Sweetened Beverages Safety Warning Act  
            (Act) whereby a person, as defined, is prohibited from  
            distributing, selling, or offering for sale in California,  
            SSBs in a sealed beverage container; in a multipack of sealed  
            beverage containers; in concentrate form; and, on the premises  
            where a vending machine or beverage dispensing machine is  
            located and where SSBs are sold in unsealed beverage  
            containers unless the container bears a safety warning, as  
            specified, or the safety warning is posted on the premises, as  
            specified, and otherwise meets all the requirements of this  
            bill. 

          2)Defines "sugar-sweetened beverage" as any sweetened  
            non-alcoholic beverage, carbonated or non-carbonated, sold for  
            human consumption that has added caloric sweeteners and  
            contains 75 calories or more per 12 fluid ounces.  Exempts  
            from the definition of an SSB: 

             a)   Any beverage containing 100% natural fruit juice or  
               natural vegetable juice with no added caloric sweeteners; 

             b)   Any liquid product commonly referred to as a dietary  
               aid; 








                                                                  SB 1000
                                                                  Page  2


             c)   Any product for consumption by infants and that is  
               commonly referred to as infant formula; or,

             d)   Any beverage whose principal ingredient by weight is  
               liquid milk, milk concentrate, or dehydrated milk  
               (including, for the purposes of this bill, milk derived  
               from plant sources.) 

          3)Defines "caloric sweetener" as any substance containing  
            calories, suitable for human consumption, that is perceived as  
            sweet and includes sucrose, fructose, glucose, and other  
            sugars and fruit juice concentrates.  Defines "caloric" as a  
            substance that adds calories to the diet of a person who  
            consumes that substance.  Defines "non-alcoholic beverage" as  
            any beverage that contains less than one-half of one percent  
            alcohol per volume.

          4)Requires the safety warning to read "STATE OF CALIFORIA SAFETY  
            WARNING: Drinking beverages with added sugar(s) contributes to  
            obesity, diabetes, and tooth decay" on the front of SSB sealed  
            beverage containers, separate and apart from all other  
            information, on a contrasting background, and entirely in bold  
            type.  Requires the safety warning to be affixed to an SSB  
            beverage container in a manner that it cannot be removed  
            without thorough application of water or other solvents if the  
            warning is not printed directly on a sealed container.   
            Requires the warning to be placed on a vending machine and on  
            a self-serve beverage dispensing machine.  Requires the safety  
            warning to be posted at the point-of-purchase if a beverage  
            dispensing machine is not self-serve.

          5)Specifies that any violation of this bill constitutes a  
            violation, which beginning July 1, 2015, is punishable by a  
            civil penalty of not less than $50 but no greater than $500.   
            Specifies that a person is not to be found in violation of the  
            Act more than once during any one inspection visit.

          6)Creates in the State Treasury the Sugar-Sweetened Beverages  
            Safety Warning Fund consisting of moneys collected for the  
            violation of the Act, which is to be appropriated by the  
            Legislature for allocation to local enforcement agencies for  
            the purpose of enforcing the Act.

          7)Allows the DPH to adopt regulations to develop new language  








                                                                  SB 1000
                                                                  Page  3

            for the safety warning, if determined necessary by an  
            investigation, in consultation with the state health officer.

          8)Specifies that the provisions of the Act are severable and  
            that any provision or its application that is held invalid  
            cannot affect other provisions or applications that can be  
            given effect without the invalid provisions or applications.

          9)Makes several findings and declarations to support its  
            purpose.

           EXISTING LAW  :  

          1)Establishes DPH to protect and improve the health of  
            communities through education, promotion of healthy  
            lifestyles, and research for disease and injury prevention.

          2)Establishes the Sherman Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Law (Sherman  
            Act), which is administered by DPH, to regulate the contents,  
            packaging, labeling, and advertising of food, drugs, and  
            cosmetics in California. 

          3)Allows DPH, upon the request of a health officer, to authorize  
            the local health department of a city, county, city and  
            county, or local health district to enforce the provisions of  
            the Sherman Act and its regulations that pertain to retail  
            food establishments, as defined, if DPH determines that the  
            local health department has sufficient personnel with adequate  
            training to do so, and requires that the enforcement be  
            limited to the area under the jurisdiction of the local health  
            department.

           FISCAL EFFECT  :  According to the Senate Appropriations  
          Committee, a prior version of this bill would have had one-time  
          costs likely between $150,000 and $300,000 to develop and adopt  
          regulations to implement the bill and ongoing costs of about  
          $400,000 per year for DPH to enforce labelling and public notice  
          requirements.

          This bill no longer requires DPH to adopt regulations, although  
          regulations may still be necessary to implement the bill and  
          ongoing enforcement costs will remain.

                                                                  Page  4

           1)PURPOSE OF THIS BILL  .  According to the author, California is  
            in the midst of an obesity and diabetes epidemic that is  
            wreaking havoc on the public's health and sugary drinks are a  
            major contributor to the problem.  The author states this bill  
            would provide information to consumers to make informed  
            choices by requiring warning labels, similar to those on  
            tobacco and alcohol, that explain the proven health risks  
            associated with drinking these beverages.  Overwhelming  
            research has unequivocally shown that sugary drinks are major  
            contributors to obesity, diabetes, and tooth decay, which cost  
            California billions of dollars in health care and lost  
            productivity annually.  Finally, the author states sugary  
            drinks are the biggest contributor of added calories in the  
            American diet and are unique in not providing any nutritional  
            value.

           2)BACKGROUND  .  SSBs are drinks sweetened with sugar,  
            high-fructose corn syrup, or other caloric sweeteners.  Common  
            SSBs include soda, sport drinks, energy drinks, fruit drinks,  
            and vitamin water drinks.  According to the U.S. Department of  
            Agriculture (USDA), in 2009, Americans consumed 13.8 billion  
            gallons of SSBs, which equates to nearly 45 gallons per capita  
            annually of SSBs.  According to the UCLA Center for Health  
            Policy Research, in California, 62% of adolescents ages 12-17  
            and 41% of children ages 2-11 drink at least one SSB every  
            day.  In addition, 24% of adults drink at least one SSB on an  
            average per day.  

           3)OBESITY, DIABETES, AND CHRONIC ILLNESS .  According to the  
            federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more  
            than one-third of U.S. adults (35.7%) are obese and  
            approximately 12.5 million children and adolescents (17%) ages  
            2-19 years are now obese.  Obesity-related conditions include  
            heart disease, stroke, type-2-diabetes and certain types of  
            cancer, all among the leading causes of death for Americans.   
            Many obese children are now diagnosed with health problems  
            previously considered to be "adult" illnesses, such as type 2  
            diabetes and high blood pressure.  Obesity can affect a  
            person's joints, breathing, sleep, mood and energy levels.  It  
            can also cause complications for other unrelated health  
            conditions that may require longer hospital stays, longer  
            recovery times, and increase risk to patients experiencing  
            co-morbidities.  DPH issued a study, "The Burden of Chronic  
            Disease and Injury", in 2013 that highlights some of the  
            leading causes of death, such as heart disease, cancer,  








                                                                  SB 1000
                                                                  Page  5

            stroke, and respiratory disease, all of which have a strong  
            connection to obesity.  Diabetes is another serious chronic  
            disease stemming from obesity that adversely affects quality  
            of life and results in serious medical costs.  The last decade  
            has witnessed a 32% rise in diabetes prevalence, affecting  
            some 3.9 million people and costing upwards of $24 billion per  
            year.

           4)CAUSE, CORRELATION, AND RISK  .  It is very difficult to  
            scientifically prove a direct causal relationship between diet  
            and disease in humans.  In laboratory animal studies, a single  
            variable can be changed while all others are held constant to  
            determine a direct cause-and-effect relationship.  It is  
            nearly impossible to exert the same level of control in human  
            dietary studies.  However, while it may be impossible to  
            completely eliminate alternate hypotheses, a causal  
            relationship between the intake of added sugar and obesity is  
            supported by strong epidemiological evidence.  A meta-analysis  
            published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition looked  
            at 30 studies of sugary drink consumption published from 1966  
            to 2005 and found that sugary drink consumption was associated  
            with weight gain and obesity.  Another study concluded that  
            sugary drinks are likely to account for at least 20% of the  
            weight gained by Americans between 1977 and 2007.  Numerous  
            studies indicate that higher consumption of sugary drinks is  
            associated with higher risk of weight gain and also with  
            higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

           5)EFFORTS TO REDUCE CALORIE CONSUMPTION  .  Along with increasing  
            physical activity and providing nutritious food, reducing  
            calories from all sources is a necessary component to reduce  
            obesity and associated chronic health conditions.  Research  
            shows that people generally underestimate the number of  
            calories in the foods they consume.  A recent study asking  
            participants to estimate the caloric content of nine  
            restaurant entr�es found that 90% underestimated the caloric  
            content of less healthy items by an average of more than 600  
            calories.  Controlling the intake of added sugars represents  
            an important component of lifestyle management for weight  
            control and maintenance.  A recent report by the Institute of  
            Medicine identified sugary drinks as the single largest  
            contributor of calories and added sugars to the U.S. diet.   
            The Dietary Guidelines for Americans, published every 5 years  
            jointly by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services  
            and the USDA, admonished individuals to reduce consumption of  








                                                                  SB 1000
                                                                  Page  6

            SSBs.  In March 2014, the World Health Organization published  
            draft guidelines reducing the recommended sugar intake in  
            adults to 5% of their daily calories.  For the average adult  
            that is equivalent to 100 calories, which is less than one  
            serving size of most SSBs.  

           6)MILK AND JUICE EXEMPTION.   Milk and 100% fruit juice are  
            exempted from labelling under this bill, despite the fact that  
            flavored milk and some 100% juice have as much - or more -  
            sugar content as SSBs.  While milk is high in calories  
            compared to other sugary beverages, it is also a valuable  
            source of calcium, vitamins, and other nutrients.  Research  
            shows that sugar consumed with fat and protein (as in milk) is  
            absorbed more slowly by the body and results in more satiety  
            than sugar in beverages without additional nutrients.  Given  
            the health benefits of dairy, the Dietary Guidelines for  
            Americans of 2010 suggests that the public increase their  
            intake of low-fat and fat-free milk and milk products.  

            Public health research is split on the risks associated with  
            fruit juice; some studies find juice to be a good source of  
            fiber, vitamins, and nutrients and can promote consumption of  
            recommended daily amounts of fruits and vegetables.  Other  
            research suggests that increased sugar intake from drinking  
            juice correlates with prevalence of diabetes and obesity  
            similarly to SSBs.  Most large research studies on the subject  
            have focused specifically on SSBs and not 100% juice, however.  
             As part of reducing overall added sugar intake, the CDC does  
            recommend reducing consumption of juice.  The American Academy  
            of Pediatrics and other organizations acknowledge that the  
            vitamin C and flavonoids in juice may have beneficial  
            long-term health effects, but recommends limiting juice intake  
            to six or 12 ounces per day, depending on the age of the  
            child.  

           7)POLICY INTERVENTIONS AND UNHEALTHY PRODUCTS.   Mounting  
            evidence suggests that effectively curbing the obesity  
            epidemic and reversing the upward trend will require  
            comprehensive approaches across sectors involving public and  
            private stakeholders at the local, state, and federal level.   
            Many believe that the comprehensive approach must be similar  
            to policy efforts previously employed to improve motor vehicle  
            safety or curb usage of alcohol or tobacco.  After passage of  
            the California Tobacco Tax and Health Promotion Act of 1988  
            (Proposition 99), the state created the California Tobacco  








                                                                  SB 1000
                                                                  Page  7

            Control Program (CTCP), implemented a variety of grassroots  
            efforts to educate consumers about the harmful effects of  
            tobacco use, and passed several anti-tobacco laws, such as  
            local and statewide policies to limit smoking in public  
            places, prohibit the incidence of tobacco sales to minors, and  
            restrictions on tobacco advertising; all designed to address  
            smoking prevalence.  California's early efforts have shaped  
            best practices for comprehensive tobacco control efforts  
            throughout the nation and the world.  According to CTCP, these  
            efforts have so far saved more than one million lives and over  
            $86 billion in health care costs.  While tobacco use continues  
            to be pervasive and costly, California has been successful at  
            significantly curbing the burden of tobacco use on California  
            families, our health care system and our economy.

           8)NUTRITION FACTS LABEL UPDATE  .  In February 2014, the US Food  
            and Drug Administration (FDA) announced an update to the  
            Nutrition Facts label on food packages to reflect new public  
            health and scientific information, including evidence on  
            nutrition, obesity, and chronic diseases.  According to the  
            FDA Website, the update will reflect amounts of food people  
            are actually eating and drinking now as opposed to 20 years  
            ago when the Nutrition Facts label was first introduced.  The  
            FDA further states that serving sizes must be based on amounts  
            of food and drink that people customarily consume, not on what  
            people should be eating.  

            The FDA states that the changes reflect new dietary  
            recommendations, consensus reports, and national survey data  
            and also reflect input obtained through four advance notices  
            of proposed rulemaking and numerous citizens' petitions.   
            According to the FDA, Americans on average eat 16% of their  
            total calories from added sugars, the major sources being  
            soda, energy and sports drinks, grain-based desserts,  
            sugar-sweetened fruit drinks, dairy-based desserts, and candy.  
             The proposed requirement to declare added sugars in addition  
            to the total sugar requirement on the Nutrition Label was  
            decided after taking into account new data and information,  
            including U.S. consensus reports and recommendations, a  
            citizen's petition, and public comments. 

            The 90-day public comment period has been extended by the FDA  
            to August 1, 2014.  Any final rule resulting from the proposal  
            will become effective 60 days after the final rule's  
            publication in the Federal Register with a compliance date two  








                                                                  SB 1000
                                                                  Page  8

            years after the effective date.

           9)SUPPORT  .  The sponsors of this bill argue that overweight,  
            obesity, and physical inactivity cost California's economy an  
            estimated $52 billion a year in unforeseen medical expenses  
            and lost productivity.  They further state that research shows  
            that over the past 30 years the average American's daily  
            caloric intake has increased by nearly 300 calories, and 43%  
            of those additional calories come from additional soda  
            consumption.

            The California Academy of Preventive Medicine states that  
            warning labels on tobacco products have proven effective in  
            reducing smoking and saved lives in California, and that a  
            similar approach should have some effect on over-consumption  
            of sugary drinks.  The California Dental Association writes  
            that SSBs consumption creates a high risk of acid  
            demineralization of dental enamel and makes consumption of  
            these beverages one of the most significant contributors to  
            dental decay in children.  They state that dental decay is the  
            most common chronic disease in California children today and  
            the number one reason children miss school.

            The California Food Policy Advocates states that a recent  
            focus group of CalFresh participants in the Central Valley  
            revealed that while many were generally aware that SSBs are  
            unhealthy, several participants were unclear how SSBs are  
            connected to the rising obesity rates even though there is  
            overwhelming science linking the obesity epidemic to the  
            consumption of soda and other sugary drinks.

           10)OPPOSITION  .  Several groups in opposition write that  
            education, rather than regulation should be the goal in  
            providing consumers with information about sweetened  
            beverages.  They point out that foods with high levels of fat  
            can also contribute to obesity, just as any food consumed in  
            excess can have negative health effects.  
           
             The Valley Industry & Commerce Association and others write  
            the requirements of the bill are arbitrary and confusing to  
            consumers and point out that high-calorie milk-based products  
            that are also high in added sugar, like lattes, mochas, and  
            chai tea drinks are exempt.  Californians for Food and  
            Beverage Choices writes that this bill is premature and  
            duplicitous, as the FDA is currently undergoing review of  








                                                                  SB 1000
                                                                  Page  9

            disclosing added sugar on all nutrition labels.  
             
             The Los Angeles Business Federation writes this bill would  
            financially burden businesses ranging from vending machine  
            operators to family-owned eateries to large, corporate-owned  
            grocery stores and restaurants.  The California Teamsters  
            oppose due to possible negative effects on employment in the  
            food processing and transportation industries.  The California  
            League of Food Processors writes that this bill would create  
            expensive and unnecessary California-only labeling  
            requirements that would put food processors in this state at a  
            competitive disadvantage relative to those in other states and  
            would ultimately raise food prices for consumers.   
             
          11)DOUBLE REFERRAL.   This bill is double referred; upon passage  
            in this Committee, this bill will be referred to the Assembly  
            Business, Professions, and Consumer Protection Committee. 

           12)RELATED LEGISLATION  .  SB 622 (Monning) of 2013 would have  
            enacted the Sweetened Beverage Tax Law, which imposed a  
            one-cent per fluid ounce tax on any beverage that adds caloric  
            sweeteners, such as sodas, energy drinks, sweet teas, and  
            sports drinks.  SB 622 would have required funds generated by  
            the Sweetened Beverage Tax to be directed to the newly created  
            Children's Health Promotion Fund and allocated to statewide  
            childhood obesity prevention activities and programs.  SB 622  
            was held under submission in the Senate Appropriations  
            Committee.

           13)PREVIOUS LEGISLATION  .  AB 669 (Monning) of 2011 was SB 622's  
            predecessor.  AB 669 was held in the Assembly Revenue and  
            Taxation Committee.

            AB 2100 (Coto) of 2010 would have imposed a one cent tax per  
            teaspoon of added sweetener in a bottled sweetened beverage or  
            in a sweetened concentrate.  AB 2100 was held in the Assembly  
            Revenue and Taxation Committee. 

            SB 1210 (Florez) of 2010 was a measure similar to SB 622.  SB  
            1210 was placed on the former Senate Revenue and Taxation  
            Committee's suspense file.

            SB 1420 (Padilla) of 2008 required certain chain restaurants  
            and food facilities to disclose nutritional information on the  
            menu.  Among other things, defined "point of sale" as the  








                                                                  SB 1000
                                                                  Page  10

            location where a customer makes an order.  The provisions of  
            this bill were later repealed (SB 20 of 2011) to conform  
            California statute to Federal menu labelling requirements. 

            SB 965 (Escutia), Chapter 237, Statues of 2005, modified the  
            list of beverages that may be sold to pupils at an elementary,  
                                                   middle or junior high school, in effect banning the sale of  
            sodas in schools.

            SB 1520 (Ortiz) of 2002 would have imposed an excise tax upon  
            every distributor, manufacturer, or wholesale dealer at a rate  
            of $2 per gallon of soft drink syrup or simple syrup and $0.21  
            per gallon of bottled soft drinks, and $0.21 per gallon of  
            soft drink that may be produced from powder, that is sold in  
            this state.  The soda tax provisions were removed from the  
            April 29, 2002, version of the bill. 

            AB 105 (Moore) of 1983 would have imposed an excise tax on the  
            distribution of non-alcoholic carbonated beverages, except  
            carbonated water and carbonated fruit juice, at the rate of  
            $0.07 per gallon.  The provisions of that bill also included  
            an excise tax on the distribution of non-alcoholic carbonated  
            beverage syrup at the rate of $0.50 per gallon of liquid  
            syrup.  This bill died in the Assembly Revenue and Taxation  
            Committee.

           14)POLICY COMMENTS  : 

             a)   Plant-based milks definition?  Plant-based sources of  
               milk are included in the dairy category of the USDA Dietary  
               Guidelines, but are not defined in state or federal  
               statute.  Since some plant-based milks list water as the  
               principal ingredient, this bill could create confusion  
               whether such products would require the SSB warning or not.  
                The author may wish to clarify the definition of  
               plant-based milk.  This could also be addressed by DPH  
               administratively through adoption of regulations. 

             b)   Flavored Milk exemption:  Flavor-added milks (e.g.  
               chocolate milk or vanilla soymilk) often contain a  
               significant amount of added sugar, making the caloric  
               intake equivalent to or greater than other SSBs.  While  
               there are health benefits in drinking milk that balance the  
               excess caloric intake, the author may wish to consider  
               whether exempting flavored milks with added sugar is in  








                                                                  SB 1000
                                                                  Page  11

               line with the public health goals of this bill. 

           15)SUGGESTED AMENDMENT  : 

             a)   This bill specifies placing the warning label at the  
               point-of-purchase.  It is unclear where that would be in  
               some restaurants, such as when the customer pays at the  
               table, rather than a cash register.  The author may wish to  
               amend the bill to clarify: 

                 111224.20 (a)(3)  At the point where any consumer would  
                 order or request a sugar-sweetened beverage in an  
                 unsealed beverage container, when the unsealed beverage  
                 container is filled by an employee of a food  
                 establishment rather than the consumer.
