The main purpose of this legislation, known as the "Ban Harmful Food Dyes Act," is to protect public health by banning certain artificial color additives in food products. The act aims to address concerns about the safety of these additives, which have been linked to potential health risks. The key provisions of the act state that starting January 1, 2027, specific color additives will be considered unsafe for use in food. This means that any food containing these additives will be classified as adulterated, which is a legal term indicating that the food is not safe for consumption.
