Sale of foods containing FD&C Yellow No. 5 or 6 to schools prohibited.

HF 3271 prohibits the sale, distribution, or offering of foods containing FD&C Yellow No. 5 or 6 to Minnesota public and private schools (as defined in state law), effective January 1, 2027. The bill directly affects schools by banning these specific artificial colors in foods sold to them, while exempting home schools. Key provisions make it unlawful for vendors to knowingly sell such products to schools, with no exemption for home schools. This is a direct consumer protection measure targeting food additives in school settings.
