The proposed bill aims to prohibit the sale, offering for sale, or distribution of food products containing specific artificial dyes in Minnesota. The new legal language establishes a section in the Minnesota Statutes, chapter 325F, titled "Prohibition of Artificial Food Dyes," which explicitly lists the dyes that are banned: Red 3, Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, Blue 2, and Green 3.

This prohibition is set to take effect on January 1, 2026, allowing time for compliance among food sellers and distributors. The bill reflects a growing concern over the health implications of artificial food dyes and aims to promote safer food options for consumers in Minnesota.
