This legislation also prioritizes the procurement of food products without any color additives. “The federal government should lead by example when it comes to food safety and public health. This bill takes a common-sense step to remove potentially harmful synthetic dyes from federal food procurement. By prohibiting these additives in federal contracts and prioritizing dye-free options, we're protecting American families and setting a higher standard for food consumption,” said Congressman Lawler. Full text of the bill can be found HERE. Congressman Lawler is one of the most bipartisan members of Congress and represents New York's 17th Congressional District, which is just north of New York City and contains all or parts of Rockland, Putnam, Dutchess, and Westchester Counties. He was rated the most effective freshman lawmaker in the 118th Congress, 8th overall, surpassing dozens of committee chairs. ###	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-06T20:09:11Z
