The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 437, aims to amend title 21a of the general statutes to prohibit the sale of food products that contain specific food additives. Notably, the bill highlights the prohibition of red dye number three among other additives. This legislative action is intended to enhance food safety and protect consumers from potentially harmful substances in their food.

The bill introduces new legal language that explicitly bans the sale of food products with these additives, while no deletions from current law are specified in the text provided. The overarching goal of this legislation is to ensure that food products available in the market do not contain certain harmful additives, thereby promoting public health and safety.
