USA
Dec 12, 2024
Senator Kristen Thompson, R-Edmond, has introduced legislation to better improve health outcomes in Oklahoma. Senator Thompson’s bill specifically examines the use of certain harmful food additives that are prohibited in other countries. Sen. Thompson’s Senate Bill 4 was born out of the growing concern over dangerous chemicals and additives in food that have been linked to serious health issues, including developmental and behavioral challenges in children.
If the bill becomes law, it would prohibit eleven additives from being used in products, including four colors of dye, including Red 40.
The bill the act would become effective November 1, 2025, however Senator Thompson says there could be some leeway so businesses aren’t being harmed.
