Relating to prohibiting ultraprocessed food from being served or sold to students in public schools.
HB 3292 prohibits Texas public schools and open-enrollment charter schools from serving or selling ultraprocessed foods containing specific additives during regular school hours. The bill defines ultraprocessed food as containing any of 12 listed additives, including artificial colors (like Red 40 and Yellow 5), brominated vegetable oil, potassium bromate, or titanium dioxide. Schools cannot offer these items on campus during school hours, but parents may still provide such foods to their children. The law would take effect for the 2025-2026 school year.
