Arizona Bans 11 Ingredients in School Food | Tucson News

Arizona schools are cracking down on junk food with a new law banning 11 harmful ingredients—from food dyes to propylparaben—in all on-campus snacks and meals. Effective midnight to 30 minutes after school ends, the rule covers cafeterias, stores, and classroom treats, forcing districts to scramble for compliant options. Nutrition staff, teachers, and parents are adapting—some schools now offer approved snack lists to help parents bring safe, celebratory treats. While it’s a logistical headache, the goal is clear: healthier food for every student, even during birthday parties.
