Guidelines for Food and Beverage Sales in BC Schools

The Guidelines for Food and Beverage Sales in BC Schools are designed to maximize students’ access to healthier options and fully eliminate the sale of unhealthy foods and beverages in BC schools. The revised Guidelines distinguish food and beverage options into four categories: Choose Most, Choose Sometimes, Choose Least and Not Recommended and require all schools to eliminate the sale of foods and beverages meeting the Choose Least and Not Recommended categories.
