USA - The USDA Smart Snacks in School regulations are set to take effect on July 1, 2014. The USDA is effectively banning the sale of all "junk foods" sold in vending machines, a la carte lunch, student stores, and fundraisers including bake sales, according to Fox News 59.

This is great news for the fresh produce industry. All fruits and vegetables will still be allowed. 100% fruit and vegetable juice will also still be permitted. According to the 54-page USDA guide to the new rules, any competitive food sold must be a fruit, vegetable, dairy product, protein-rich food, or combo food which contains at least 1/4 cup fruit and/or vegetable.
