(2) The Legislative Assembly further finds that the presence of sulfites in fresh foods and foods to be consumed without cooking is not readily detectable by consumers of the food.
(3) It is therefore the policy of the State of Oregon to protect its citizens from the adverse effects of sulfites by:
(a) Prohibiting the use of sulfites in fresh foods and foods to be consumed without cooking by any restaurant licensed under ORS 624.010 to 624.121 and 624.310 to 624.430; and
(b) Encouraging the use of an alternative to sulfites in food processing.
(4) Subsection (3) of this section shall not prohibit the use or serving of grapes, to which sulfites have been applied in accordance with the provisions of ORS chapters 616 and 634, in facilities licensed under ORS 624.010 to 624.121 and 624.310 to 624.430. [1985 c.519 §1; 1993 c.246 §1]
