27. FOOD REGULATIONS General Guidance Competitive Foods- Board Policy # 2002.
Beverage Regulations- Board Policy # 4003
Snack regulations- Board Policy # 4004 SNACK REGULATIONS - GENERAL GUIDANCE
Before we discuss the specific standards of the new Snack regulations, it is important to make two general points:
First, Mississippi schools must continue to follow the Competitive Food policy EEH. This existing policy, one of the strongest in the nation, was designed to ensure that children do not have to choose between the School Lunch/Breakfast programs and vended items of lower nutritional quality.
Secondly, food sales outside of Child Nutrition Programs are available in Mississippi schools at the discretion of the school district. This means that any district can decide to have no snack vending at school. In fact, a significant number of Mississippi districts have made this decision with children’s health in mind.SNACK REGULATIONS - GENERAL GUIDANCE
