Prohibits sale and distribution of food and beverages containing non-nutritive sweeteners in public and nonpublic schools.

S 3224 prohibits public and nonpublic schools in New Jersey from selling or distributing any food or beverage containing non-nutritive sweeteners (such as artificial sugar substitutes like aspartame or sucralose, defined under federal regulations). The bill amends existing school nutrition law to ban these products on school property during the school day, including in vending machines, cafeterias, and fundraisers, effective immediately. It does not apply to medically authorized diets or special needs plans documented in student Individual Education Plans. The legislation directly affects all schools in New Jersey by restricting a specific category of sweeteners in school food offerings.
