The Missouri Council for Activity and Nutrition (MoCAN) recently revised its voluntary nutrition guidelines for public schools, and is now asking the public to weigh in on the Missouri Eat Smart Guidelines.
"MoCAN's first set of school nutrition guidelines, published in 2005, outlined three levels of nutrition standards for schools: minimum, intermediate and advanced. The revised guidelines add a fourth category, the exemplary level, as a higher standard for school nutrition."
The public is invited to comment on the guidelines through August, at which time MoCAN will review all submissions. The final draft of the recommendations will be released in September. Source: EMaxHealth
