AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act to prohibit the manufacture and sale of certain food additives that have been linked to potential health risks. Specifically, beginning January 1, 2027, manufacturers will be banned from producing food products containing potassium bromate and propylparaben, with an additional ban on selling such products starting January 1, 2028. The bill also includes provisions for red dye 3 and brominated vegetable oil, though the specific implementation details for these substances are not fully elaborated in the text. Violations of these prohibitions will result in civil penalties of up to $5,000 for a first offense and $10,000 for subsequent offenses, with enforcement handled by the Attorney General or the State's Attorney of the county where the violation occurred. The legislation is designed to protect consumer health by removing these potentially harmful additives from the food supply, and it ensures that the new restrictions do not prevent other legal actions or remedies that may be available under different laws.
