An Act relative to healthy school lunches

This bill requires Massachusetts public schools to ensure at least 50% of lunch entrées (meat/meat alternate items) served as part of federal reimbursable meals are fiber-rich foods like whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and legumes. It also limits ultra-processed foods (industrial foods with additives like high-fructose corn syrup) to no more than 20% of weekly entrée offerings. School food providers must publicly share monthly nutrition data to verify compliance, with a three-year phase-in period for new contracts or by the 2033-2034 school year. The law directly affects school food management companies and public schools across Massachusetts.
