CONCORD — The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Division of Public Health Services, Obesity Prevention Program has released "School Foods: A Guide to Implementing the New Hampshire Administrative Rules for Education Regarding Food and Nutrition." The guide is a toolkit designed to help schools implement the administrative rules, which impact all foods made available in New Hampshire public schools outside of the regular U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) school meals and snack programs.

All foods made available in public schools during school hours are impacted, including foods served à la carte. The toolkit identifies nutrition standards for school boards to adopt that are accepted by the New Hampshire Department of Education. It also provides information on communicating policy, maximizing financial gains, promoting new foods, celebrations, fundraisers, and other resources.
