Abstract
(HB5069 · 103rd Legislature) Food: other; use of certain substances in food and drink products; prohibit. Amends 2000 PA 92 (MCL 289.1101 - 289.8111) by adding sec. 7132. Latest action (2026-06-23): Referred To Committee On Regulatory Affairs
Why this matters
The Food Law is the primary vehicle for state-level regulation of what Michiganders can be sold to eat and drink, and adding substance-level prohibitions extends its reach beyond establishment licensure into product formulation. If enacted, consumers gain protection from specified additives while food manufacturers and retailers face new compliance obligations, echoing similar state-level ingredient bans emerging nationally.
