Child Nutrition Reauthorization: Putting the Act into Action - "Healthy Choices for School Children: Getting the Junk Foods Out of Schools"
The Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act requires USDA to issue healthy nutrition standards for all foods sold in schools. The Act gives USDA the power to eliminate the unhealthy foods in vending machines, snack bars, "a la carte" lines in cafeterias, and other foods sold outside of the federally-reimbursed school meals.
