House Bill 1853, sponsored by Davis, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, Chapter 6, concerning school nutrition. The bill specifically modifies Section 49-6-2308 by removing the specific mention of "Allura Red AC, which is Chemical Abstracts Service registry number 25956-17-6 and also known as Red 40," and replaces it with the broader term "any artificial food dye."

This change aims to encompass all artificial food dyes rather than singling out a specific one, potentially enhancing the regulation of food ingredients in schools. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of the public welfare in this matter.
