An Act relative to healthy school lunches
This bill requires the Massachusetts governor to declare March 21 as Massachusetts Child Nutrition Day and establishes new rules for food served in public schools. It mandates that at least 50% of weekly lunch entrées must be fiber-rich whole foods while limiting ultra-processed items and those high in cholesterol or saturated fat to no more than 20%. Schools must also publicly share monthly nutrition data to prove compliance, with a three-year transition period for food service providers to meet these standards.
