New 2014-2015 School Snack Nutrition Standards: Key Changes and Guidelines

In the 2014-2015 school year, new nutrition standards for snacks were implemented to enhance student health. Snacks must now be whole grain-rich or prominent in fruit, vegetable, dairy, or protein, and contain appropriate nutrient levels. Key changes include calorie limits (snacks <200 calories, entrée <350 calories), sodium limits (snacks <230 mg), and fat restrictions (total fat <35% of calories). Beverages are also required to meet these standards. These regulations aim to promote healthier eating habits among students during school hours.
