Ministry of Education Introduces NEW School Food and Beverage Policy
Struggling with the implementation of the Policy? We can help!
Ontario's new nutrition standards for food and beverages sold in schools will give our students healthier places to learn better.
Nutrition standards are used to determine which foods can and cannot de sold. Candy, energy drinks and fried foods are among the items that will no longer be sold in schools. "80/20" is the NEW rule! 80 % of the new school menu must include products with the highest levels of essential nutrients and lowest amounts of fat, sugar and sodium, like fresh fruit, vegetables and whole grain breads, while 20 % may include products that have slightly higher amounts of fat, sugar, and sodium such as bagels and cheese.
28% of Ontario children between the ages of two and 17 are overweight or obese -- putting them at risk of diseases including diabetes. Less than half of Ontario kids, ages 12-19, eat the recommended daily minimum of fruits and vegetables.
The nutrition standards are made possible by the Healthy Food for Healthy Schools Act, 2008.
