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, this includes a ban on red dye number three, among other additives that may be specified in the future. The intent of the bill is to enhance food safety and protect consumers from potentially harmful substances in their food.

The bill introduces new legal language that explicitly prohibits the sale of these food products, while no deletions from current law are indicated in the text provided. This legislative action reflects a growing concern regarding the health implications of certain food additives and seeks to ensure that food products available in the market are safe for consumption.
