Beginning
July 1, 2014, all foods sold to students on the school campus during the
school day, including fundraisers, must meet nutrition standards under the
Smart Snacks rule. Under the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010,
flexibility was given to provide exemptions for school-sponsored infrequent
fundraisers that do not meet the standards. State Child Nutrition Agencies
have the authority to set the number of exempted fundraisers permitted per
school year. If the State Agency does not designate a number, it is assumed
that there are no exempted fundraisers. For additional info, see the
full memo.
