Sale of foods containing FD&C Yellow No. 5 or 6 to schools prohibition

Minnesota Senate Bill 3482 (SF 3482) prohibits the sale of foods containing artificial food dyes FD&C Yellow No. 5 or 6 to public, private, and charter schools in Minnesota. It directly affects food vendors, distributors, and schools by banning the sale of these specific dyes in school-provided foods, though home schools are excluded. The law, effective January 1, 2027, amends Minnesota Statutes chapter 325F to create this restriction. It focuses on preventing these dyes from being served in school meals or snacks, without specifying health outcomes or enforcement details.
