FREDERICTON — New Brunswick students can say goodbye to
chocolate milk and juices being sold in public schools as the province
unveils changes to its school nutrition policy today.
A government source tells The Canadian Press the new policy applies
to all food and beverages sold, served or otherwise offered in New
Brunswick public schools.
It requires foods of a higher nutritional value which are lower in
saturated fat, sugar and sodium.
The policy applies to breakfast and lunch programs, vending
machines, canteens, snacks and fundraisers.
Over the last 12 years, at least six provinces have banned junk food
from schools, and a report released last summer said the measure is
having a positive impact on student health.

The study by Philip Leonard, a health economist at the University of
New Brunswick, found that students banned from making junk food
purchases at school for five or more years were, on average, about
two pounds lighter than students who did not face a ban.
He said younger students showed the most positive results, but noted
that probably stems from the fact that older students have more
opportunity to leave the school grounds to get food from other
sources.
In 2005, New Brunswick became the first province to impose a junk
food ban inside its schools.
