Instant Noodle Cancer Prevention Act represents a critical step toward closing this gap, ensuring that all families—regardless of income or geography—have access to safe, nutritious foods that do not compromise their health. 

In urban and rural low-income communities, the cheapest meals often carry the highest health risks. The Instant Noodle Cancer Prevention Act closes this equity gap by protecting families from cancer-causing additives. 

Low-income communities, whether urban or rural, face a disproportionate burden of exposure to harmful chemicals in everyday foods, leaving children and seniors especially vulnerable to long-term health consequences. For many families, inexpensive, highly processed foods like instant noodles are a daily staple, yet these products can contain additives linked to cancer and other chronic illnesses. Without urgent policy action, these communities remain on the frontlines of preventable disease, highlighting a stark inequity in food safety and public health protection.
