List of Acceptable Foods and Beverages LIST 1 CHIPS AND PUFFED SNACKS
Foods are evaluated for compliance with the Connecticut Nutrition Standards (CNS) based on the amount as served including any added accompaniments such as dips, salsa and grated cheese, e.g., baked potato chips with dip and whole-corn tortilla chips
with salsa or cheese sauce. Some listed products are not nutrient-rich foods. For example, baked chips are lower in fat than regular chips that do not comply with the CNS, but neither product provides any significant nutritional value, e.g., vitamins, minerals
and fiber. The Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE) encourages schools to review the nutrient content of allowable products, and select the most nutrient-rich products that also meet the "Better Choice “recommendations (see green and
white columns on right). The CSDE strongly encourages schools to offer a la carte food choices that include a variety of minimally processed and naturally nutrient-rich whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat or nonfat dairy, lean
meats and legumes.
Product formulations and packaging can change. The nutrition information below is based on the package label or manufacturer information supplied at the time of product review. If this information does not match the product label, please submit the
product’s nutrition information to the CSDE. For more information, see Submitting Food and Beverage Products for Approval (www.sde.ct.gov/sde/lib/sde/PDF/DEPS/Nutrition/FBList/SubmitProduct.pdf).
The CSDE's List of Acceptable Foods and Beverages is updated regularly and is subject to change. To assist in identifying new items added since the previous edition of this list, the manufacturer and food item (first two columns) of all new items are
highlighted in pink. For contact information for listed vendors, see Contact Information for Vendors (www.sde.ct.gov/sde/lib/sde/PDF/DEPS/Nutrition/FBList/VendorContact.pdf).
