Prohibits the manufacture or sale of certain food additives

HB 99 bans the sale or manufacture of food products containing four specific additives: brominated vegetable oil, potassium bromate, propylparaben, and Red dye 3. It directly affects food manufacturers, retailers, and distributors who sell products containing these substances in human food. The bill imposes civil penalties of up to $5,000 for first violations and $10,000 for repeat offenses, enforced by state or local attorneys. This legislation is pending further committee review after recent readings in the House.
