To create the Food Safety Act

HB 2654, the Food Safety Act of 2025, prohibits food manufacturers, sellers, and distributors in West Virginia from offering for human consumption any food product containing potassium bromate or propylparaben, effective January 1, 2027. It directly affects food businesses that produce or sell products with these specific substances. Violators face civil penalties of up to $5,000 for a first offense and $10,000 for each subsequent violation, enforceable by the Attorney General or local prosecutors. The law establishes these penalties as additional to any other legal remedies available under existing laws.
