More food items in schools are soon to be under the purview of the federal government as new rules concerning nutritional content are set to go into effect July 1. It’s all part of the new Smart Snacks in Schools program, enacted by the United States Department of Agriculture. It’s the newest phase of setting nutritional standards in schools, adding on to the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, which set policies for both school lunch and breakfast programs.
