Bill > HB1004

This bill prohibits the manufacturing, selling, delivery, holding, or offering for sale of food in the state that contains specific ingredients, including brominated vegetable oil, potassium bromate, propylparaben, and red dye 3, as well as any other ingredient or additive that is banned for use in food by federal law or regulations from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The bill defines "food" broadly to include any substance used as food or drink for humans, or as a component of such, and also chewing gum. Violations of these provisions are considered misdemeanors, subject to fines and potential imprisonment, with escalating penalties for repeat offenses, and also carry civil penalties and the possibility of being enjoined from continuing the violation, with each day of violation counting as a separate offense. This legislation is set to take effect on July 1, 2027.
