Safe Sips Act of 2026

Key Points

• The bill would require every alcohol, THC, cannabinoid, and kratom drink sold in the US to use one single warning color at the cap or lid, no matter what type of intoxicating substance it contains.
• Packaging must also include a non-color marker like text, a symbol, a pattern, or a texture so that blind or colorblind consumers can identify these drinks too.
• Regular drinks like soda, water, or juice cannot use the same warning color, keeping it a clear signal reserved only for intoxicating products.
• States, local governments, and Tribal governments would be blocked from setting their own, different or stricter color-coding rules once the federal system is in place.
• Regulators get 2 years after the bill becomes law to write the detailed rules, and the actual compliance deadline for companies is 4 years after enactment, with civil fines for violators.
