What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law prohibits the sale of food that is adulterated or misbranded. The

law contains lists of characteristics that cause a food to be considered adulterated or

misbranded. This bill eliminates the lists and instead provides that a food is

adulterated if it is considered to be adulterated under federal regulations and a food

is misbranded if it is considered misbranded under federal regulations.

The bill also eliminates several statutes relating to substances that are

prohibited in foods and to adulteration of specific foods.
