The bill amends the Food Law of Michigan by adding a new section, 7134, which prohibits schools from providing, selling, offering for sale, or making available certain food items to students starting July 1, 2028. Specifically, the bill bans foods containing brominated vegetable oil, potassium bromate, propylparaben, and several artificial dyes, including Red 40, Green 3, Blue 1, Blue 2, and Yellow 6.
Additionally, the bill defines "school" to include both public and nonpublic schools as outlined in the revised school code. This legislative change aims to enhance the safety and health of students by eliminating potentially harmful ingredients from school food offerings.
