Prohibits certain substances in sale, distribution, and manufacture of commercial foods for human consumption.*
This bill prohibits four specific substances - brominated vegetable oil, potassium bromate, propylparaben, and red dye 3 - from being used in commercial foods sold, distributed, or manufactured in New Jersey. It amends state law to deem food containing these substances "adulterated," directly affecting food manufacturers, retailers, and distributors operating within the state. The prohibition applies to all processed foods sold to consumers, with enforcement handled by the New Jersey Department of Health under existing sanitary code penalties. The law takes effect 13 months after enactment, allowing time for industry compliance.
