Summary
Safe School Meals for Kids Act
This bill directs the Department of Agriculture to ban from the school meal programs all food that has been treated with chlorpyrifos or has a chlorpyrifos residue greater than 0.001 micrograms per kilogram of food. (Chlorpyrifos is a pesticide that some studies have linked to developmental disabilities in children.)
