Starting in school year 2014-15, all foods sold at school during the school day will need to meet nutrition standards. The Smart Snacks in School regulation applies to foods sold a la carte, in the school store, and vending machines.  A number of tools and resources are available to help schools identify food items that meet Smart Snacks criteria. See the resources on this page for information about the Smart Snacks requirements, helpful tools, and ways to encourage children to make healthier snack choices that give them the nutrition they need to grow and learn.
