In the state of Virginia, a ban has been implemented on seven common components used in the production of food products. This decision is aimed at increasing the transparency of products and ensuring the availability of safe food options for consumers. New requirements also pertain to the sources of raw materials and methods of placing trade marks on packaging.
This step by Ferguson is part of a broader movement towards ensuring the safety of food products. The state is becoming increasingly aware of issues related to healthy eating, and states are adopting preventive measures in regulating the use of certain food additives.
Unlike other states in the U.S., Virginia has prohibited the use of specific food additives, focusing on improving production quality and ensuring consumer safety.
