School Food Regulations Clarified


The Northwestern Health Unit is clarifying the new food guidelines schools must now follow.

As of September 1st, junk food can no longer be sold in schools.

Chelsea Lecain, a dietitian with the Health Unit, says it's all part of a campaign to get kids to eat healthier.

Schools are allowed ten so-called special occasions that are exempt from the regulations.
