The bill amends Section 1-1109 of Title 63 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to the definition of adulterated foods. It introduces new language that specifies certain food dyes as unsafe additives, including red dye 3, red dye 40, yellow dye 5, yellow dye 6, blue dye 1, and blue dye 2. The bill updates the existing definitions of adulterated food by restructuring the clauses and removing some of the previous language that defined adulteration criteria.
Additionally, the bill clarifies that a food will be considered adulterated if it contains any poisonous or deleterious substances that may be injurious to health, and it maintains the existing criteria regarding the condition and quality of food. The effective date for this legislation is set for November 1, 2025.
