Prohibits certain substances in sale, distribution, and manufacture of commercial foods within two years; immediately bans certain dyes in school food.

This bill prohibits the sale, distribution, and manufacture of specific substances in commercial foods within two years and immediately bans certain artificial dyes in food served in New Jersey schools. It directly affects food manufacturers, retailers, and school districts by restricting the use of ingredients such as propylparaben, butylated hydroxyanisole, and six specific FD&C color additives. The legislation amends existing state laws to explicitly list these prohibited substances and requires schools to remove foods containing them from vending machines, snack bars, and other school property. Additionally, the bill reinforces current rules that prevent schools from serving items with sugar as the first ingredient or those containing trans fats.
