Child Nutrition Promotion and School Lunch Protection Act of 2006

H.R. 5167, the Child Nutrition Promotion and School Lunch Protection Act of 2006, proposed updating federal nutrition standards to limit the sale of "junk food" on school campuses. The bill would have required the Secretary of Agriculture to modernize the definition of foods with minimal nutritional value based on current scientific health recommendations. Under this legislation, these stricter nutritional standards would have applied to all foods sold outside of official school meal programs—such as those in vending machines or school stores—anywhere on campus at any time during the school day.
