The proposed bill aims to prohibit the sale of food products containing specific artificial dyes in Minnesota. Under the new legal language, it will be illegal for any person to knowingly sell, offer for sale, or distribute food items that include the following artificial dyes: Red 3, Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, Blue 2, and Green 3. This measure is intended to address health concerns associated with these artificial colorings.

The bill also establishes a new section in the Minnesota Statutes, specifically chapter 325F, titled "Prohibition of Artificial Food Dyes." The prohibition will take effect on January 1, 2026, allowing time for compliance and adjustment within the food industry.
