The Kentucky Board of Education shall promulgate an administrative regulation
in accordance with KRS Chapter 13A to specify the minimum nutritional
standards for all foods and beverages that are sold outside the National School
Breakfast and National School Lunch programs, whether in vending machines,
school stores, canteens, or a la carte cafeteria sales. Minimum nutritional
standards shall be based on the most recent edition of the United States
Department of Agriculture's Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The
administrative regulation shall address serving size, sugar, and fat content of
the foods and beverages. School districts may impose more stringent
standards than the standards implemented under the administrative regulation.
A school shall follow the minimum standards specified in the administrative
regulation unless a waiver has been requested by the school district for the
school from the Kentucky Board of Education. Any waiver approved by the
Board of Education shall be reviewed on an annual basis.
As used in this section:
(a) "Competitive food" means any food or beverage item sold in competition
with the National School Breakfast and National School Lunch programs.
The term does not include any food or beverage sold a la carte in the
cafeteria;
(b) "School day" means the period of time between the arrival of the first
student at the school building and the end of the last instructional period;
and
(c) "School-day-approved beverage" means water, one hundred percent
(100%) fruit juice, lowfat milk, and any beverage that contains no more
than ten (10) grams of sugar per serving.
No school may sell competitive foods or beverages from the time of the arrival
of the first student at the school building until thirty (30) minutes after the last
lunch period.
Only school-day-approved beverages shall be sold in elementary schools
during the school day in vending machines, school stores, canteens, or
fundraisers that sell beverages by students, teachers, or groups.
Nothing in this section or KRS 158.850 shall be construed to limit the sale of
any foods or beverages by fundraisers off school property.
