Smart Snacks Standards for Exempt Foods when Paired Together Notice

Description

The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (HHFKA) directed the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to establish nutrition standards for all foods and beverages sold to students on the school campus during the school day. On June 28, 2013, the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) published the "Smart Snacks in School" (Smart Snacks) regulation that carefully balances science-based nutrition standards with practical and flexible solutions to promote healthier eating on campus. The purpose of this memorandum is to clarify Smart Snacks standards for exempt food that are paired together as a single snack.
