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 person or entity engaged in business 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. By removing these specific substances from the food supply, the bill seeks to protect consumers and promote healthier food options. The proposed changes do not include any deletions from current law but introduce new restrictions on the use of these additives in food products.
