HB 5069 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Food: other; use of certain substances in food and drink products; prohibit. Amends 2000 PA 92 (MCL 289.1101 - 289.8111) by adding sec. 7132.

HB 5069 bans the sale of food products containing specific additives in Michigan starting January 1, 2029. It prohibits brominated vegetable oil, potassium bromate, propylparaben, and five artificial dyes (Red 40, Green 3, Blue 1, Blue 2, Yellow 6). The ban applies to food manufacturers and retailers selling products in Michigan, but exempts items if the federal government bans the same substances by the 2029 deadline. This bill directly affects food producers and sellers by requiring reformulation of products containing these ingredients.
