The House Resolution urges the Louisiana Department of Education to conduct a study on the feasibility and potential costs of prohibiting certain unhealthy foods and beverages in public schools, including charter schools for grades K-12. The resolution highlights the importance of providing balanced and nutritious meals to support student health and academic success, while also addressing concerns about ultra-processed foods that contribute to childhood obesity.

The study will focus on prohibiting specific ingredients known to be harmful, such as potassium bromate, various synthetic dyes, and other additives. Additionally, the Department of Education is tasked with making recommendations to ensure that the healthiest food options are available in public schools. The findings of this study are to be reported to the House Committee on Education within a specified timeframe, and a copy of the resolution will be sent to the state superintendent of education.
