The bill amends Title 3 (Agriculture) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to address the misbranding of food products. It introduces a new provision that specifies a food product will be considered misbranded if it contains certain synthetic colors, specifically Blue 1, Blue 2, Green 3, Red 40, Yellow 5, or Yellow 6. If a product contains any of these colors, it must display a warning in boldface type on the principal display panel, stating that the product contains synthetic colors that may adversely affect activity and attention in children.

Additionally, the bill defines "CAS" as the unique accession number assigned by the Chemical Abstracts Service to a substance. This amendment aims to enhance consumer awareness regarding the potential effects of synthetic food colors on children. The act is set to take effect one year after its passage.
