The bill amends the Food Law of 2000 by adding a new section, 7132, which prohibits the sale or offering for sale of certain food substances beginning January 1, 2029. Specifically, it bans the use of brominated vegetable oil, potassium bromate, propylparaben, and several artificial dyes including Red 40, Green 3, Blue 1, Blue 2, and Yellow 6.
An important provision of the bill states that the restrictions will not apply if the federal government enacts a ban on these substances before the specified date of January 1, 2029. This allows for alignment with federal regulations and ensures that the state law remains consistent with any federal actions taken regarding these food additives.
