Effective July 1, 2014, any food or beverage sold to students on the school campus during the school day must meet federal Smart Snacks in Schools standards. This includes snack food or beverages sold in a la carte sales, vending machines, school stores, snack carts, and fundraisers. Any entity selling food to students is required to maintain records, such as nutrition labels and product specifications.

In this context, “school campus” refers to all areas of the property under the jurisdiction of the schools that are accessible to students. “School day” refers to the period of time from the midnight before until 30 minutes after the end of the official school day.

This rule DOES NOT apply to:

• Foods sold after school hours

• Foods sold off school campus

• Foods sold exclusively to adults

• Foods given to students at no charge

• Foods brought from home for student consumption
