Do foods sold to students meet the Illinois food requirements?
This calculator will help you to determine if a certain food item meets
the Illinois food requirements.1 Enter the nutrition information
on the Nutrition Facts label below and click "Get Results".
Note: Reimbursable
meals are regulated by Federal regulation. This calculator is for determining
the compliance of food items sold
to students in grades 8 or below before or during the school day outside
the food service area or within the food service areas other than during
meal periods. The food requirements allow the sale of all food items
that are nuts, seeds,
nut butters, eggs, cheese packaged for individual sale, fruit or non-fried
vegetables, or low-fat yogurt products and therefore this calculator
is not intended for those foods.
