Bill overview
This bill, the Safe School Meals for Kids Act, aims to protect children from potential health risks associated with pesticide exposure. It directs the Department of Agriculture to phase out the use of chlorpyrifos – a pesticide linked to developmental issues – in school meals, including those offered through the National School Lunch Act, the school breakfast program, and the Department of Defense Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. The bill establishes a threshold for chlorpyrifos residue and provides guidance to schools on how to eliminate its use from their meal programs. It also requires the Secretary to regularly review the implementation of these changes.
