An act relating to prohibiting certain substances in food manufactured, sold, or distributed in Vermont

This bill bans four specific additives - brominated vegetable oil, potassium bromate, propylparaben, and red dye No. 3 - from all food products manufactured, sold, or distributed in Vermont starting January 1, 2027. It directly affects food manufacturers, retailers, and distributors operating within Vermont. The law prohibits these substances in any edible product, including beverages, and authorizes the Attorney General to enforce compliance through civil penalties of up to $10,000 per violation. Enforcement aligns with Vermont’s Consumer Protection Act, with the law taking effect on July 1, 2025.
