  • Arizona state schools chief Tom Horne, praised the signing of a new bill that bans ultra-processed foods in schools.

Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne is set to discuss a new policy aimed at restricting ultra-processed foods in schools during a press conference on April 15, 2025. This initiative, which has been in development for several months, seeks to address the growing concerns over childhood obesity and poor nutrition by limiting the availability of foods high in sugars, fats, and artificial ingredients in school cafeterias and vending machines. The policy has garnered support from health advocates and some parents, but has also faced criticism from food industry representatives who argue that it may limit choices and increase costs. Horne is expected to outline the specifics of the policy, including implementation timelines and potential exemptions, and will be joined by nutrition experts and school administrators to discuss the anticipated impact on student health and well-being.
