This bill amends New Jersey's food safety regulations by adding four specific substances to the list of those that can render food adulterated. The newly included substances are brominated vegetable oil, potassium bromate, propylparaben, and red dye 3. The bill stipulates that it is unlawful for any entity in the state to distribute, sell, manufacture, or possess with the intent to sell or distribute any food that contains these substances, which are already banned in processed foods within the European Union due to their potential health risks, particularly to children.

The enforcement of this bill will be managed by the Department of Health, which is responsible for implementing the State Sanitary Code. Each violation of this code will be treated as a separate offense, with penalties ranging from $50 to $1,000. The bill is set to take effect on the first day of the 13th month following its enactment, although the Commissioner of Health is authorized to take necessary administrative actions in advance to ensure its implementation.
