Bans ultraprocessed foods from school meals by adding a new prohibition to the National School Lunch Act. It ties the definition to “NOVA group 4,” a widely used food classification for ultraprocessed items.
The section also adjusts punctuation in existing clauses and begins a new clause that would ban “foods containing—,” but the follow‑on text is missing in the provided document. Agencies would need to update rules and guidance so schools can change menus and purchasing to comply. No timing or funding is specified.
Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
