The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 147, aims to amend chapter 417 of the general statutes to prohibit the manufacture, distribution, delivery, or sale of foods intended for human consumption that contain specific additives. The bill identifies four additives that would be banned: brominated vegetable oil, potassium bromate, propylparaben, and red dye number three.

This legislation seeks to enhance food safety by eliminating these particular substances from food products sold within the state. The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to establish these prohibitions clearly.
