The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 968, aims to amend the general statutes to prohibit any commercial activities involving food products intended for human consumption that contain specific food additives. The bill explicitly states that no person shall manufacture, sell, deliver, distribute, possess, or offer for sale any food product containing a list of 15 specified food dyes, including but not limited to red dye number two, yellow dye number five, and blue dye number two.

The purpose of this legislation is to enhance food safety by banning the use of certain food additives that may pose health risks. The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to establish these prohibitions clearly.
