Prohibits several substances in sale, distribution, and manufacture of commercial foods.

This bill prohibits seven specific additives - azodicarbonamide, brominated vegetable oil, butylated hydroxyanisole, potassium bromate, propylparaben, red dye 3, and titanium dioxide - from being sold, distributed, or used in manufacturing commercial foods in New Jersey. It directly affects food manufacturers, distributors, and retailers operating in the state by banning these substances in products intended for sale. The prohibition is added to New Jersey’s existing food safety law, which deems food adulterated if it contains unsafe substances. Enforcement will be handled by the Department of Health under the State Sanitary Code, with violations punishable by fines up to $1,000 per offense. The bill is currently pending in the Assembly Consumer Affairs Committee.
