NJ Healthy Schools Act prohibits sale and distribution of ultraprocessed foods in schools participating in federally funded meal programs.

The NJ Healthy Schools Act aims to improve student health by prohibiting the sale and distribution of ultraprocessed foods in schools participating in federally funded or assisted meal programs. This includes foods containing certain chemical additives like potassium bromate, propylparaben, titanium dioxide, brominated vegetable oil, and synthetic dyes. The law does not restrict parents from providing these foods to their children.
