Dye Free Procurement Act

This bill would bar federal executive agencies from entering into or renewing contracts to buy food that contains any of eight listed color additives, including Red No. 40, Yellow No. 5, Yellow No. 6, Green No. 3, Blue No. 1, Blue No. 2, Citrus Red No. 2, and Orange B. It would also require agencies to give priority to buying food that contains no color additives at all, where available and practicable. The rules would take effect 6 months after the bill becomes law and would apply to contracts entered into on or after that date.
