The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 437, seeks 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 aims to enhance food safety and public health by restricting the use of certain potentially harmful substances in food products.

The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language that explicitly bans the sale of food products containing these specified additives. The intent behind this measure is to protect consumers from the potential adverse effects associated with these food additives, thereby promoting healthier food options in the marketplace.
