This HIA explores the potential impacts of national nutrition standards for competitive foods or foods sold in schools individually as snacks, a la carte items, and beverages. Research included an extensive literature review, interviews, stakeholder discussions, and financial analysis. Overall, the results indicate that strong nutrition standards could have a significant positive impact on the health of students with potentially increased benefits to those populations that are most vulnerable. In addition, if implemented effectively at the district and school levels, the changes can be made with little to no negative financial impact and in fact may even result in improved financial outcomes for schools and districts. Thus, USDA should establish updated standards and adopt practices - as recommended by this report - that are most likely to maximize positive health impacts while assisting schools in effectively implementing the changes.
