Lincoln Schools Prepares for Food Dye Ban | Lincoln News
Description
Lincoln Public Schools is already ahead of the curve on a new state law banning artificial food dyes in school meals—set to take effect August 1, 2027. With proactive ingredient swaps and a focus on plant-based options, they’ve nearly eliminated dyes like Blue One and Red Forty from their menu, replacing them with natural alternatives like beet extract. Parents are pleasantly surprised by how few items still contain these colors—and when the last gelatin runs out, it’ll be gone for good. This thoughtful, gradual transition ensures students won’t miss a beat while schools stay compliant and aligned with evolving health and taste preferences.
