Snacks sold in U.S. schools from next year must be lower in fat, salt and sugar, according to federal rules.
June 27/Washington/Reuters -- Snacks sold in U.S. schools from next year must be lower in fat, salt and sugar, according to federal rules aimed at giving students more nutritious options and fighting childhood obesity.
The regulations, originally due in 2011, largely mirror the U.S. Department of Agriculture's proposal from February that limited the fat, salt and sugar content in school snacks and capped portion sizes.
