UNDATED – A lawmaker is pushing legislation in Michigan to let people see how much caffeine is in energy drinks. State Senator Michael Switalski says a "caffeine-race" is escalating in the marketplace. The Roseville Democrat wants to require the makers of Red Bull, 5 Hour Energy and other drinks to put caffeine content on their labels. Switalski says the products are marketed toward youth, and parents need information to control children's caffeine intake. The bill may not get far because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration generally oversees food and beverage labeling. Switalski on thursday also reintroduced legislation to require steroid testing of high school athletes, eliminate tax breaks for vending machine food retailers, and limit the sale of junk food in schools.
