BackgroundA significant portion of calories consumed by
children are consumed at school.
Federal child nutrition programs are an important source of nutritious, balanced meals.
Despite progress in meal quality, work remains to improve children's diets.
Research has consistently shown that American children do not meet current national dietary recommendations.

BackgroundImproving the nutritional profile of all foods
sold in school is critical to:
• improve diet and overall health of American children
• ensure children from all income levels adopt healthful eating habits that will enable them to live productive lives.

Proposal Development
USDA considered a wide range of information available on competitive foods, including:
• Recommendations of the 2007 Institute of Medicine (IOM) Report;
• USDA’s HUSSC standards;• Existing State and local standards;• Existing voluntary standards and
recommendations; and • Input from nutrition program stakeholders.

Further ConsiderationsThe practical application of standards in school
settings; Context of new meal patterns for the Federal school
meal programs; Support of the federally- reimbursed school nutrition
programs as the major source of foods and beverages offered at school;

standards for all foods and beverages sold outside of the Federal child nutrition programs in schools.
