FL S1826

Prohibits Florida public schools from serving or selling "ultra-processed food" on school grounds during the school day, effective July 1, 2025

Defines "ultra-processed food" as any food or beverage containing at least one of 11 specific ingredients, including potassium bromate, propylparaben, titanium dioxide, brominated vegetable oil, and seven artificial dyes (Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, Blue 2, Green 3, Red 3, and Red 40)

Bars the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services from requiring school cafeteria personnel to follow the USDA's 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines once revised federal dietary guidelines are issued on or after January 1, 2025, and instead requires the department to encourage whole-food meals free of the listed harmful ingredients

Declares legislative findings that the USDA's 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines reflect "outdated science" and conflicts of interest favoring the ultra-processed food industry over children's health

Preserves the right of parents or guardians to provide ultra-processed food to their own children for consumption during the school day
