Starting July 1, 2025, South Dakota will ban the use of four specific food additives—brominated vegetable oil, potassium bromate, propylparaben, and Red dye number 3—in any food product made for human consumption. Anyone who manufactures, sells, or distributes food containing these substances will face criminal charges as a Class 1 misdemeanor. This creates a new state law that goes beyond current federal regulations on these additives.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
