Related bill: HF44

AI Generated Summary

This bill, introduced in Minnesota, proposes that food manufacturers and brand owners must report the results of any orthophthalate testing on packaged food products to the state's agriculture commissioner. Orthophthalates are chemicals often used in plastics and can be harmful. The law aims to enhance transparency and safety in food packaging by keeping track of these substances. Additionally, the bill clarifies the definition of a "brand" in terms of food products, identifying it as any name, symbol, word, or mark that links the product to its owner. This legislation modifies a section of the Minnesota Statutes to include this new requirement for reporting and definition.
