Federal Bill Proposes Color-Coded Labels for Intoxicating Beverages

Published Aug 3, 2026

Rep. Nick LaLota introduced H.R. 9913, the Safe Sips Act, which would direct FDA and TTB to create one color plus an accessible non-color identifier for drinks containing THC, intoxicating cannabinoids, alcohol, kratom or other intoxicants. If enacted, the rules would be due within two years and apply four years after enactment, so Oklahoma beverage manufacturers, distributors and retailers should track the proposal as a potential federal packaging and consumer-information mandate.
