Summary

The existing Sherman Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Law regulates the packaging, labeling, and advertising of food, drugs, and cosmetics. The law prohibits a person from manufacturing, selling, delivering, holding, offering for sale, or receiving in commerce any cosmetic that is adulterated, and prohibits a person from adulterating any cosmetic. Existing law permits any person who manufactures a cosmetic in this state to register with the State Department of Public Health. This bill would require any manufacturer of cosmetics that are sold in the state that does not currently comply with specified parts of the federal Food and Drug Administration Voluntary Cosmetic Registration Program to provide the department with information disclosed through that program. It would require the department to post specified notifications by the FDA on the department's Internet Web site.
