Section 200-RICR-20-25-4.2 - Purpose

The purpose of this Part is to maintain high nutrition standards for school meals that are reimbursed by the United States Department of Agriculture and all other food and beverages that are sold on the school campus in Rhode Island. USDA nutritional standards set minimum requirements and states operating the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs are permitted to establish more rigorous nutrition requirements or additional requirements for school meals and competitive foods that are not inconsistent with the provisions of USDA rules. The additional nutritional requirements and additional limitations on sales of competitive foods and beverages set forth in this Part will enhance school meals and the school nutrition environment in Rhode Island's schools.
