Bill > HB06483

This bill proposes a new regulation that would prohibit retailers in the state from selling any processed food products that are already banned from retail sale in Canada or the European Union. Essentially, the legislation creates a mechanism to automatically prevent the sale of certain processed food items in the state if those items have been deemed unsafe or unsuitable for consumers by Canadian or European regulatory authorities. By linking the state's food sales restrictions to the prohibitions already in place in Canada and the European Union, the bill aims to provide an additional layer of consumer protection and ensure that potentially harmful processed food products are not sold locally. The bill does not specify which particular processed food products would be affected, but instead creates a blanket prohibition based on existing international regulatory actions. The proposed law would require retailers to be aware of and comply with food sales restrictions in Canada and the European Union, potentially removing certain products from store shelves if those jurisdictions have determined them to be unsuitable for retail sale.
