Quick take:
- The state is set to ban several artificial dyes and preservatives in food, with school restrictions starting in August 2024 and a full commercial ban by 2028.
- Food and beverage groups argue the law will make 60% of grocery items illegal, leading to higher prices, job losses and consumers shopping out of state.
- With at least 25 other states considering similar legislation, West Virginia could be at the forefront of a broader push for stricter food safety laws.
