Smart Snacks in School
In 2014, new nutrition standards from the United States Department of Agriculture called "Smart Snacks in School" went into effect. The standards, required by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, allow schools to offer healthier snack foods to children.
The USDA's "All Foods Sold in Schools" Standards are available for download here. To view smart snack resources including answers to frequently asked questions, a food calculator, and ideas for healthy school celebrations, click here.
