2 COMPETITIVE FOOD AND BEVERAGES IN CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS Under the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 7, Part , the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) defines competitive foods as all food and beverages sold to students on the school campus during the school day outside of the reimbursable meal program. The rules for selling competitive foods and beverages are created by four separate entities, two at the federal level and two at the state level. Federal Level: Local School Wellness Policy: The 2004 Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act and section 204 of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, require that all schools in the nation that participate in the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, or Special Milk Program must establish and implement a Local School Wellness Policy. Code of Federal Regulation, Title 7, Part , Smart Snacks in Schools: The USDA s regulations define and set standards for all foods and beverages sold to students during the school day on school campus outside of the reimbursable meal program. This law requires the Local Educational Agency to maintain records that document compliance with the nutrition standards for all competitive foods available to students outside the control of the school food authority. You may view this at: State Level: Education Code (EC) sections : These EC sections are established through legislation such as Senate Bills 12, 965, and AB 626. As other bills on the topic of competitive food sales may be signed into law in future legislative sessions, these sections of the EC can change. Exception: EC Section applies only to the federally reimbursable school meal program and does not apply to competitive food. You may view this at: 2.&part=27.&chapter=9.&article=2.5. California Code of Regulations, Title 5, sections 15500, 15501, and : The State Board of Education adopted these regulations that include additional requirements that govern food and beverage sales by student organizations (section & 15501) and additional requirements that clarify areas to the California Education Code (created by Senate Bills 12 and 965). You may view this at: 8B6FF0D48011DEBC02831C6D6C108E&originationContext=documenttoc&transitionType=Defa ult&contextdata=(sc.default) The Education Code created two levels of enforcement and oversight. EC sections 49431(c) and (d) encourage the governing board of each school district to annually review its compliance with the nutrition standards. EC Section authorizes the California Department of Education (CDE) to review schools and districts for compliance through their Administrative Review (AR). The California Department of Education has required the Long Beach Unified School District to provide documentation to show proof of compliance.
