RELATING TO FOOD DYES.

SB 791 prohibits the use of certain food dye additives in meals served to students through the state Department of Education and charter schools. The bill directly affects school food programs by banning specific dyes from all school meals, including those provided in cafeterias and vending machines. Key provisions require schools to remove these dyes from their food procurement and meal preparation processes. This policy change aims to limit exposure to certain artificial coloring agents in school food settings.
