Introduction and Overview

Competitive Food Service

Competitive food means any food sold which is not part of the reimbursable meal. Prohibited competitive foods are called "foods of minimal nutritional value" and may not be sold in any meal service or dining area during the breakfast or lunch periods. Competitive foods that are not foods of minimum nutritional value may be sold during meal periods as long as income from the sale accrues to the nonprofit food service, the school, or student organizations approved by the school.
