Bill > SB00147

This bill prohibits businesses in the state from manufacturing, distributing, delivering, or selling any food intended for human consumption that contains four specific food additives: brominated vegetable oil (BVO), potassium bromate, propylparaben, and red dye number three. These additives have been targeted due to potential health concerns, though the bill does not explicitly detail the specific reasons for their prohibition. By creating this blanket ban, the legislation aims to protect consumers from potentially harmful substances in their food. The bill would amend chapter 417 of the state's general statutes and apply to all food products sold within the state, effectively requiring food manufacturers and sellers to reformulate their products or remove them from the market if they contain any of these four additives. This type of legislation is part of a broader trend of regulatory efforts to improve food safety and reduce potential health risks associated with certain food ingredients.
