Tells USDA to help U.S. farmers grow crops used for natural food colors — no new money or rules
The details
Most people would see no direct change in daily life. The Department of Agriculture would have to help U.S. farmers grow more crops that can be turned into natural food colors. These are colors for food that come from farm products. The department would work with other agencies, farmers, and food companies to help make these colors. It would also aim some of its research at this goal, using only the research it can already do. No new money is set aside. No new rules apply to farms or food makers.
