AI Summary
This bill amends existing Louisiana law concerning food ingredients, specifically adding a new exemption to regulations on artificial colors, additives, or banned chemicals. The key provision is the insertion of a new clause that exempts "Foods for special dietary use as defined in 21 CFR Part 105" from these regulations. This means that certain foods intended for specific dietary needs, as defined by federal regulations (specifically Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 105), will not be subject to the state's rules regarding artificial colors, additives, or banned chemicals. This exemption is added alongside existing exemptions for drugs, dietary supplements, alcoholic beverages, retail-prepared foods, and medical foods.
