Bill > SB390

This bill prohibits schools participating in federal food service programs, such as school lunch and breakfast programs, from serving food containing specific additives, including brominated vegetable oil (BVO), potassium bromate, propylparaben, azodicarbonamide, titanium dioxide, and certain FD&C dyes (red 3, red 40, yellow 5, yellow 6, blue 1, blue 2, and green 3), starting in the 2027-2028 school year. Schools will be required to certify during inspections that they do not serve food with these additives in reimbursable or free/reduced-price meals, and if a school cannot certify compliance, they must submit a corrective action plan and notify parents of the violation, with these requirements becoming stricter in the 2028-2029 school year. Additionally, the bill allows federal pesticide warning or labeling requirements to satisfy any state requirements for pesticide warnings or labeling, provided the federal label is consistent with the most recent human health assessment or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's carcinogenicity classification for the pesticide.
