Debate on this bill is now open.

[Mr. Reactionary]

This prohibits a controversial red dye occasionally used in food and pills. It is made from bugs and can cause anaphylaxis in some people and violates kosher/halal but isnt even required currently to spell out these risks or identify itself as insect based which is dangerous to unknowing consumers.

[Mr. Reactionary]

I move for a final vote. 24 hours to object.

[Mr. Reactionary]

A final vote is now open on this bill lasting until noon Eastern on Wednesday (73 hours). Please vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain.
