Pennsylvania HB1134 amends food protection laws to require warning labels on foods containing certain synthetic colors.
HB1134 amends Title 3 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to address misbranding of food. It mandates that foods containing specific synthetic colors must display a warning label stating that these colors may adversely affect children's activity and attention. The required warning must be in boldface type and no smaller than the type size used for the "serving size" declaration. The bill specifies the synthetic colors that trigger this requirement, including Blue 1, Blue 2, Green 3, Red 40, Yellow 5, and Yellow 6, identified by their CAS numbers.
