Law Revision Committee. Referred to Committee
on Judiciary.
SB294,1,2
1An Act to amend 941.325 of the statutes;
relating to: placing foreign objects in
2edibles.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law prohibits a person from putting foreign objects in candy or other
edibles. In State v. Timm, 163 Wis. 2d 894 (Ct. App. 1991), the court of appeals
determined that "other edibles" covers "liquid edibles, as well as solid edibles". This
bill codifies that decision.
For further information, see the Notes provided by the law revision committee
of the joint legislative council.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:

committee has determined that codifying that decision is desirable as a matter of public
policy.
