Harvest to Hue Act
Introduced May 13, 2025 by Rep. Max L. Miller
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill directs the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to enhance the capacity of U.S. farmers to produce color additives which are derived from agricultural components. (The bill refers to these as natural color additives.)
Specifically, USDA must (1) facilitate these efforts within the department; (2) promote collaboration among USDA, other federal agencies, agriculture producers, and food industry partners; and (3) focus research initiatives, within existing research capabilities, to support these efforts.
Summary by the Congressional Research Service.
No floor votes yet — it hasn't reached the floor of either chamber.
