Delaware Senate To Vote On Trans Fats In Schools

DOVER, Del. (AP) -- The state Senate is ready to take up a bill that would prohibit Delaware public schools from serving foods and beverages containing industrially produced trans fats to students.

The bill was approved by the House in March and was scheduled for a vote in the Senate on Wednesday.

The bill would apply to all food and beverages sold on school grounds during regular school hours, whether from the cafeteria or vending machines. It would not apply to food and drink sold at events open to the wider community, such as athletic games and school plays.
