Food dyes; adulterated foods; statutory references; effective date.

This Oklahoma bill prohibits the use of six specific food dyes - red dye 3, red dye 40, yellow dye 5, yellow dye 6, blue dye 1, and blue dye 2 - in food products, as they are deemed unsafe under state law. It amends food safety statutes to explicitly list these dyes as unsafe for any food application, requiring manufacturers to switch to approved alternatives. The prohibition takes effect November 1, 2025, directly impacting food producers, processors, and manufacturers in Oklahoma who currently use these dyes. This change updates existing food safety standards without altering broader regulatory frameworks.
