This bill establishes a new section, 500.181, in the Florida Statutes, which mandates that food and drink products intended for human consumption that contain synthetic dyes must display a specific warning on their packaging. The warning states: "WARNING: This product contains synthetic colors, which may have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children." Manufacturers are allowed to use adhesive stickers for this warning until December 31, 2028, after which the warning must be printed directly on the packaging. The bill outlines penalties for manufacturers and retailers who fail to comply with these requirements, including fines that escalate with repeated offenses.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that fines collected from violations will be deposited into the General Inspection Trust Fund. The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is tasked with conducting inspections to ensure compliance with these new regulations as part of their regular food and drink product inspections. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law.
