Show full summary
- Families and households: Households would no longer be able to buy consumer products with 10%+ sodium nitrite, reducing easy access that can cause severe poisoning.
- Retailers and consumer manufacturers: Sellers and makers of consumer goods would have to stop offering products that meet the 10% threshold, while commercial or industrial uses not meant for consumers remain allowed.
- Food, medical, and cosmetic sectors: Items regulated as drugs, medical devices, cosmetics, or foods — including meat, poultry, and egg products — are explicitly exempt from the ban.
