Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 38, September 20, 2024
123.1. The WVBE mandate on the sales of foods in schools supersedes any USDA regulation. Accurate product information must be on file to determine nutrient content of foods and beverages.
123.2. It is the responsibility of school personnel to control what products are placed in vending machines, school stores and/or snack bars. School personnel should obtain product analysis information from vendors upon which the decisions are made. These analyses are to be written on vendor/company letterhead and signed by an authorized company official. The criteria for "other" foods that are sold or served during the school day include: have 8 grams or less of fat per one ounce serving, or meet the USDA standard for a meal pattern requirement, and contain less than 40% sugar by weight.
123.3. Standards require that labels on packaged food identify the contents of the product. The total grams of fat per serving noted on the label can be used to determine if a food may be served.
