It is also a vital component of children’s growth and development. When nutritionally inadequate food and beverages are available and promoted at school every day, even alongside healthier food and beverages, it becomes difficult for students to choose a healthy diet.1 • “Health and education success are intertwined: schools cannot achieve their primary mission of education if students are not healthy.” 2 • “Healthy eating patterns in childhood and adolescence promote optimal childhood health, growth, and intellectual development.” 3 The Ontario Ministry of Education is committed to making schools healthier places for students. Roughly one-third of a child’s daily food intake occurs at schools 4, and so schools play an integral role in teaching students the skills to make healthy choices and reinforcing those lessons through school practices. The School Food and Beverage Policy constitutes a comprehensive approach to the sale of food and beverages in schools province-wide.The implementation of this policy is another important step in creating healthier schools in Ontario. This resource guide has been designed to help you: • implement the School Food and Beverage Policy • understand the nutrition standards set out in the policy • understand how the nutrition standards apply to school venues, programs, and events where food and beverages are sold • conduct a needs assessment • develop a plan to successfully implement the policy. 1 Dietitians of Canada, “School Food and Nutrition Recommendations for Ontario Ministry of Education Regarding Snacks and Beverages Dispensed by Vending Machines”, p. 3 published with Ministry of Education, Policy/Program Memorandum No. 135, “Healthy Food and Beverages in Elementary School Vending Machines”, October 20, 2004. 2 M.M.

PLEASE DON’T PRINT THIS PAGE 3 SCHOOL FOOD AND BEVERAGE POLICY OVERVIEW School Food and Beverage Policy Overview The School Food and Beverage Policy (Appendix 1) requires that all food and beverages offered for sale in Ontario’s publicly funded elementary and secondary schools for school purposes comply with the requirements set out in the policy, including the nutrition standards, by September 1, 2011. Application The nutrition standards apply to all food and beverages sold in all venues (e.g., cafeterias, vending machines, tuck shops/canteens), through all programs (e.g., catered lunch programs), and at all events (e.g., bake sales, sports events). The standards do not apply to food and beverages that are: • offered in schools to students at no cost • brought from home or purchased off school premises and are not for resale in schools • available for purchase during field trips off school premises • sold in schools for non-school purposes (e.g., sold by an outside organization that is using the gymnasium after school hours for a non-school-related event) • sold for fundraising activities that occur off school premises • sold in staff rooms. Legislative Authority The Education Act provides the Minister of Education with the authority to establish the School Food and Beverage Policy and to require school boards to comply. School Food and Beverage Policy Overview SCHOOL FOOD AND BEVERAGE POLICY Resource Guide | 2010 4 Nutrition Standards The nutrition standards are set out in two sections: food and beverages. Within these sections, detailed nutrition criteria have been established that food and beverages must meet in order to be sold in schools. The nutrition criteria are provided in the following categories: Exemption for Special-Event Days The school principal may designate up to ten days (or fewer, as determined by the school board) during the school year as special-event days on which food and beverages sold in schools would be exempt from the nutrition standards. The school principal must consult with the school council prior to designating a day as a special-event day. School principals are encouraged to consult with their students when selecting special-event days. Notwithstanding this exemption, on special-event days, schools are encouraged to sell food and beverages that meet the nutrition standards set out in the policy. Additional Requirements The following requirements must also be met: • School boards must comply with Ontario Regulation 200/08 “Trans Fat Standards” (Appendix 2) and any other applicable regulations made under the Education Act. • Principals must uploads/Sante/ ppm150-resource-guide-2010.pdf
