Beginning with the 2026–2027 school year, Arizona's Healthy Schools Act prohibits certain ingredients in foods shared with students during the regular school day. If you plan to send birthday treats, classroom snacks, or celebration items to share, please check the ingredient label to ensure the food complies with this state requirement. This rule applies only to food shared with other students and does not apply to lunches or snacks packed by parents for their own child.
