Bill > SB00968

This bill proposes to prohibit commercial activities involving food products that contain specific food dyes and additives, effectively banning the manufacture, sale, delivery, distribution, possession, or sale of food products intended for human consumption that include any of 15 named color additives. The banned substances include various red, green, violet, orange, yellow, and blue dyes, as well as butter yellow dye, carmoisine, and erythrosine. These color additives have been targeted for potential health concerns, and the legislation seeks to remove them from the food supply by making it illegal for businesses to engage in any commercial transactions involving food products containing these specific additives. The bill represents a proactive measure to protect consumers by preventing the use of these potentially harmful food coloring agents in food products sold within the jurisdiction.
