AN ACT CONCERNING REPRESENTATIONS MADE BY FOOD SERVICE ESTABLISHMENTS REGARDING THE FRESHNESS OF FOOD ITEMS AND FOOD INGREDIENTS.

SB 432 requires restaurants and food service establishments to accurately describe food freshness. It defines "fresh" food items and ingredients, bans misleading "fresh" claims, and mandates disclosure if food has been frozen, preserved, or processed. The bill also directs the Department of Consumer Protection to create guidance for businesses on these requirements. This law directly affects food service businesses by changing how they label and describe their food offerings.
