GA HB1014

Beginning January 1, 2027, private and public primary and secondary schools in Georgia are prohibited from serving or selling food or beverages containing seven synthetic dyes (Blue 1, Blue 2, Green 3, Red 3, Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6) during the regular school day or as part of school meal programs.

Schools may allow sales of non-compliant food items during fundraising events if sales occur off school premises or on school premises at least 30 minutes after the school day ends.

Beginning January 1, 2028, food containing butylated hydroxyanisole, propylparaben, or the same seven synthetic dyes will be deemed adulterated under Georgia's food safety laws, effectively banning their sale statewide.

Selling food under an invented name that does not contain an ingredient suggested by that name, or contains only an inconsiderable quantity of it, is added as a prohibited act under food misbranding laws.
