An Act relative to food dyes
Maddy summaryThis bill amends food safety law to explicitly list specific dyes as "poisonous or injurious to health" if present in food products. It adds Red Dye 3, Red Dye 40, Yellow Dye 5, Yellow Dye 6, Blue Dye 1, Blue Dye 2, and Green Dye 3 to the list of prohibited substances. Food manufacturers and retailers using these dyes would be directly affected, as products containing them could be deemed unsafe under the law. The change clarifies that these dyes violate purity and safety standards when added to food.
