AB 2034: Food safety: unsafe additives and ingredient disclosures.

<p>The proposed legislation amends existing food safety regulations under California's health and safety code, focusing on additives and ingredient disclosures. It deems any food additive or dietary ingredient unsafe unless it meets specific conditions, including introduction between January 1, 1958, and January 1, 2027, and adherence to a published notice. Starting July 1, 2027, individuals intending to use such substances must submit detailed notices to the Department of Public Health for verification and public database publication.</p> <p>The bill also mandates that manufacturers provide a complete list of packaged food products sold in California by July 1, 2027, identifying ingredients not individually listed on labels. The Department will assess safety considering factors like bans or restrictions in other jurisdictions due to health concerns.</p>
