Wellness Policy and Competitive Foods
Wellness Policy
The current BUSD Wellness Policy, as well as the triennial assessment of the District Wellness Policy completed in May 2025, are below.
Competitive Foods
Competitive foods in a child nutrition program are foods that are sold during the school day AND are not part of the federal reimbursable school breakfast or lunch programs.
Competitive foods must meet federal and state guidelines. Those guidelines consider the school day to begin at midnight before and end 30 minutes after the official school day ends. Any foods sold during that time period MUST follow the competitive food rules attached below.
Smart Snacks
Smart Snacks are the national nutrition standards for foods and beverages sold outside of the federal reimbursable school meal programs during the school day. This list includes products from Amazon that met the Smart Snack requirements as of the date on the document.
