The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6808, aims to amend the general statutes to prohibit the use of specific food additives within the state. The bill stipulates that no individual or entity engaged in business activities in Connecticut shall manufacture, process, sell, deliver, distribute, or offer for sale any food additive that includes brominated vegetable oil, potassium bromate, propylparaben, red dye number three, or titanium dioxide. Additionally, it prohibits the sale of any food products that contain these substances.

This legislation reflects a growing concern over the safety and health implications of certain food additives, aligning with public health initiatives to ensure safer food consumption. The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to establish these prohibitions clearly.
