Smart Snacks in Schools
There is a strong relationship between the health behaviors of employees and the environments in
which they work. Often, school staff must overcome challenges such as lack of time and
availability of healthy food and beverage options to achieve their personal health goals. In addition,
the food we eat directly affects our work productivity and performance.
Adopt a culture of health. Changing the work environment to support personal health goals sends
the message that you care about your employees’ health and well-being. Making healthier options
available can support behavior changes and overall the health of employees. Use the Smart
Snacks in School (SSIS) nutrition standards as a guide for establishing a healthy environment for
staff—ensure all food and beverages served or sold at staff meetings, at school-sponsored staff
events, and in staff lounges meet the nutrition standards.
Find foods and beverages that meet the standards by browsing the Products section of the
Healthier Generation’s Smart Food Planner.

Core Nutrition Message
Core Nutrition Message - FUTP 60
Good morning,
Please check it out!!!
The Core Nutrition Messages and related tips, guidance and communication tools complement the key recommendations of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGAs). They address whole grains, low fat milk, fruits and vegetables, as well as child feeding. Designed specifically for populations served by WIC, SNAP, Child Nutrition and other Federal nutrition assistance programs, the messages and related tips, advice and guidance, can help nutrition educators deliver consistent messages that resonate with moms and kids.
The messages and the related resources address barriers faced by program participants in ways that inspire them to take action towards adapting the desired behaviors. Use these resources in educational tools, activities and interventions to help low-income audiences put the recommendations of the DGAs into practice. Use these resources as part of nutrition education with the goal of helping program participants take positive steps to:
- Make half their grains whole grains, make the switch to fat-free and low-fat (1% fat or less) milk, and make half their plate’s fruits and vegetables.
- Encourage child-feeding practices that foster healthy eating habits.
