House Resolution No. 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 emphasizes the importance of providing balanced and nutritious meals to support student health and academic success, highlighting the negative impact of ultra-processed foods that contribute to childhood obesity.

The study will focus on specific ingredients deemed harmful, such as various synthetic additives and food dyes, and will also include recommendations for ensuring healthier food options in schools. The Department of Education is required to report its findings to the House Committee on Education at least sixty days before the next Regular Session of the Legislature. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the state superintendent of education.
