Prohibits the sale of food and food products containing boneless lean beef trimmings, commonly referred to as "pink slime", in schools

This bill bans the sale of "pink slime" (ammonia-treated beef trimmings) in all public school food programs across New York. It prohibits any food or product containing these trimmings from being sold in school cafeterias or vending machines. The law directly affects public schools by requiring them to remove this specific ingredient from student meals. The ban takes effect 30 days after the bill becomes law.
