Establishes the "Missouri Healthy Schools Act" and prohibits public schools from serving, selling, or allowing a third party to sell ultraprocessed food during the school day

HB 2887, the "Missouri Healthy Schools Act," prohibits public schools participating in federally funded meal programs from serving, selling, or allowing third parties to sell ultraprocessed foods during the school day starting in the 2027-2028 school year. It defines "ultraprocessed food" as items containing specific additives like certain dyes (e.g., Yellow 5, Red 40) or chemicals (e.g., potassium bromate). Schools must certify compliance using a state-provided form, and the state education department will publish a list of compliant schools online. The law does not restrict parents from providing such foods to their children. This directly affects Missouri public schools in federally assisted meal programs.
