2019 School Year Fresh Start Fresh Snack
August 2, 2019
With the 2019-2020 here we are excited about new fresh and healthy snacks. There are 2 new snack machines located in the foyer. The snacks are a new addition to our vending machines which normally offered Gatorade or H20. The snacks seem to meet the RI Healthy Snacks Law.
USDA recently published practical, science-based nutrition standards for snack foods and beverages sold to children at school during the school day. As of July 1, 2014, these standards allow schools to offer healthier snack foods to children, while limiting less nutritious foods.
Smart Snack standards apply when competitive food & beverage items are:
- Sold to students,
- On the school campus (vending machines, school stores, a la carte lines, snack bars and sold through fund raisers),
- During the school day (midnight before, to 1 hour after the end of the official school day),
Vending choices are increasingly shifting to healthier products, and healthier products make for a better lifestyle. Our Healthy Vending Machines offer an alternative to traditional vending fare. Unlike most vending products today offering foods high in trans fats, synthetic ingredients, artificial flavors and colors, we provide low fat, low sugar, low carb, products. Vend nutritious foods, snack & drinks all from a healthy vending machines which benefit school programming at JSEC.
