VA HB998

Requires manufacturers to label all intentionally added ingredients on menstrual product packaging (tampons, pads, discs, menstrual cups, and menstrual underwear), listed in descending order of predominance

Manufacturers must post ingredient information on their websites and update within 6 months of any ingredient changes; physical package labels must be updated within 18 months of changes

Allows manufacturers to protect trade secrets by listing confidential substances by common name only, without full disclosure, if the substance qualifies under federal trade secret or EPA confidentiality protections

Violations constitute prohibited practices under the Virginia Consumer Protection Act and are subject to its enforcement provisions

Takes effect January 1, 2027, with products manufactured before that date exempt from labeling requirements
