AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Existing Utah law prohibits public schools from selling, offering, or serving foods containing certain artificial dyes and chemical additives — including potassium bromate, propylparaben, and several synthetic food colorings — during the school day. This bill updates that law in two ways: it allows individuals to donate foods containing those prohibited additives to school food pantries, and schools may then distribute those donated items to students in need; and it phases out the current exemption for smaller charter schools and school districts (those with 5,500 students or fewer), requiring them to comply with the same restrictions starting in the 2027–2028 school year.
