The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6483, seeks to amend the general statutes to prohibit retailers in the state from selling certain processed food products. Specifically, the bill stipulates that if retail sales of a processed food product are banned in Canada or the European Union, then that product cannot be sold by retailers in this state.
This legislation aims to align state food sales regulations with those of Canada and the European Union, potentially enhancing food safety and public health standards. The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to establish this prohibition on the sale of specific processed food products.
