AI Generated Summary
This bill, introduced in Minnesota, focuses on the agricultural sector and involves food safety standards. It mandates that food manufacturers and brand owners must report the results of testing their packaged food products for orthophthalates to the Minnesota Commissioner of Agriculture. Orthophthalates are chemicals often used in plastics that can contaminate food and pose health risks. The legislation aims to amend the existing law by including new regulations under which these reports should be made, and defining what constitutes a 'brand' in this context. This is a move to enhance transparency and public health protection by monitoring potentially harmful substances in food packaging.
