SB 476 prohibits Tennessee public schools and charter schools from selling or providing food or beverages containing Red 40 (a common food dye) to students on school property through school nutrition programs, including vending machines or authorized third parties, starting August 1, 2027. The ban covers all school-provided meals, snacks, and drinks but excludes fundraising events. This law directly affects school nutrition programs by removing a specific dye from all food and beverage options available to students during the school day. The requirement applies to all local education agencies and public charter schools statewide.
