Bill > HB2299

This bill amends Pennsylvania's Consolidated Statutes to create a new offense of unlawfully selling certain foods, over-the-counter drugs, and cosmetics after their expiration, "use by," or "best before" dates. The bill prohibits the sale or offering for sale of these expired products, unless they are clearly labeled and physically separated from unexpired items. Violators face a fine of up to $300 per item sold or offered for sale past the expiration date. The Department of Agriculture is tasked with enforcing and administering the provisions of this new law, which will take effect 60 days after enactment.
