Direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to revise regulations related to infant and toddler beverages.
Evidence
H.R. 8412 is titled "To direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services, acting through the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, to revise certain regulations related to infant and toddler beverages, and for other purposes." GovInfo lists the last action date as April 21, 2026 and says Ms. Jacobs introduced the bill and it was referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
The Congressional Record for the House includes the entry: "By Ms. JACOBS: H.R. 8412. A bill to direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services, acting through the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, to revise certain regulations related to infant and toddler beverages, and for other purposes; to the Committee on Energy and Commerce."
The House Energy and Commerce Committee announced a Subcommittee on Health hearing for April 29, 2026, and listed H.R. 8412, "No False Formula Act (Rep. Jacobs)," among the bills to be discussed.
The committee repository for the April 29, 2026 hearing lists H.R. 8412, "No False Formula Act," under the text of legislation and shows the hearing record and supporting documents updated through April 30, 2026.
The House Energy and Commerce Committee's hearing repository for the April 29, 2026 hearing still lists H.R. 8412, 'No False Formula Act,' and shows the page last updated April 30, 2026; no later committee markup, House passage, or HHS/FDA regulatory revision is recorded in this official record through the lookback window.
Assessments
Jacobs materially pursued the promise by introducing H.R. 8412 and getting it discussed in a House Energy and Commerce hearing during her term. But the available official record shows only introduction, committee referral, and hearing consideration; it does not show House passage, enactment, or any HHS/FDA regulatory revision being carried out. Under the federal office standard, this is a serious legislative attempt that did not deliver the promised outcome.
Jacobs introduced H.R. 8412, the No False Formula Act, which directly matched the promise by directing HHS/FDA to revise regulations related to infant and toddler beverages. The bill was referred to committee and received hearing activity in April 2026, showing a serious legislative effort during her current House term. However, the evidence does not show enactment, passage, or an implemented HHS/FDA regulatory revision, so the promised outcome was not delivered.
