Bill > HR2530

This bill amends the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to establish new nutritional requirements for foods served in school lunch programs. Specifically, the bill prohibits schools from serving ultraprocessed foods, which are defined by the NOVA classification system as highly refined and industrially formulated food products, and bans foods containing several specific chemical additives and artificial colors. The prohibited additives include potassium bromate, propylparaben, titanium dioxide, brominated vegetable oil, and multiple artificial dyes such as yellow dyes 5 and 6, blue dyes 1 and 2, green dye 3, and red dyes 3 and 40. By targeting these ingredients, the bill aims to improve the nutritional quality of school meals and potentially reduce children's exposure to certain potentially harmful food additives, with the goal of promoting healthier eating habits among students.
