The Sarah Katz Caffeine Safety Act would require chains like Panera Bread to disclose on menus and drive-thru kiosks is a product contains 150 mg or more of caffeine.

It would also require energy drink manufacturers to clearly disclose the amount of caffeine on labels and push federal agencies to better study the effects of caffeine in certain communities, including adolescents and pregnant people.

The bill is named after Sarah Katz , 21 , who went into cardiac arrest after consuming one of Panera's Charged Lemonade drinks in September 2022 .

Panera added a warning label to the drinks in October 2023 after news of the Katz lawsuit broke.
