The bill amends Title 3 (Agriculture) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to address the misbranding of food, specifically concerning the presence of Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA). It introduces a new provision stating that any food product containing BHA must include a warning on its principal display panel. This warning must be in boldface type and no smaller than the type size used for the "serving size" declaration required by federal law, stating: "WARNING: This product contains BHA, which may cause cancer."

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 health risks associated with BHA in food products. The act is set to take effect one year after its passage.
