Chocolate milk, juice no longer to be sold in New Brunswick schools
FREDERICTON — New Brunswick schools will no longer sell chocolate milk and juice, joining a continent-wide trend toward healthier school lunches.
A new nutrition policy unveiled Wednesday requires foods of a higher nutritional value, which are lower in saturated fat, sugar and sodium for public schools.
The government says it applies to all food and beverages offered in public schools — including breakfast and lunch programs, vending machines, canteens, snacks and fundraisers.
Flavoured milk and juices will no longer be sold, served or offered.
