An Act amending Title 3 (Agriculture) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in food protection, further providing for rules and regulations.
SB 183 requires food establishments that bottle water for human consumption to comply with federal food safety standards (21 CFR) instead of Pennsylvania’s state rules. It prohibits additional state labeling requirements beyond federal mandates and ensures bottled water products follow only federal recall procedures. The bill shifts enforcement authority for bottled water safety exclusively to federal agencies, overriding conflicting state regulations. This directly affects local water bottlers and beverage producers operating in Pennsylvania.
