## Resource

Arizona’s new Healthy Schools Act is reshaping school lunches and snacks, banning harmful additives like artificial dyes and preservatives from all food sold or served on campus — from cafeterias to birthday parties. Nutrition teams are scrambling to reformulate menus, while parents must rethink classroom treats, since homemade goodies can’t contain banned ingredients if shared with the whole class. Schools are responding by creating approved snack lists and even offering compliant treats for sale — all to strike a balance between healthy eating and keeping traditions alive.
