The banned additives include brominated vegetable oil, potassium bromate, propylparaben, red dye 3, blue dye 1, yellow dye 5, benzidine, butylated hydroxyanisole, and butylated hydroxytoluene.
Violations of this prohibition will result in administrative fines, categorized as Class II for a first offense and Class III for any subsequent offenses, as outlined in section 570.971. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
