SUBCHAPTER 9
NUTRITION EDUCATION
§6661. Nutrition education
The department shall work with public schools to encourage nutrition education for students and for teachers and staff as part of coordinated school health programs and school food service programs and in accordance with chapter 222. The department shall work with public schools to encourage an outreach component for students' parents and guardians as part of a coordinated school health program. The department may adopt rules to implement the purposes of this section. Rules adopted pursuant to this section are major substantive rules as defined in Title 5, chapter 375, subchapter 2-A.
§6662. Foods outside school meal program
1. Nutritional information. After August 31, 2008, food service programs must post caloric information for prepackaged a la carte menu items at the point-of-decision.
2. Food and beverages outside school lunch programs. The department shall adopt rules to establish standards for food and beverages sold or distributed on school grounds but outside of school meal programs. These standards must include maximum portion sizes, except for portion sizes for milk, that are consistent with single-serving standards established by the United States Food and Drug Administration. Rules adopted pursuant to this subsection are major substantive rules as defined in Title 5, chapter 375, subchapter 2-A.
Rules adopted pursuant to this subsection do not apply to food and beverages sold or offered at community events or fund-raisers held outside the hours of the normal school day.
Sec. 2. Dairy vending machines. By January 31, 2006, the Department of Education, in collaboration with the Maine Dairy and Nutrition Council, shall implement a pilot program to install dairy vending machines selling flavored or unflavored milk with 1% or less fat in schools.
Sec. 3. Implementation of National Farm to School Program. By January 31, 2006, the Department of Education, in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture, Food and Rural Resources, shall implement the National Farm to School Program, funded by the United States Department of Agriculture, as fully as is practicable to provide locally grown fruits and vegetables in public schools.
20-A §6602. SCHOOL FOOD SERVICE PROGRAMS
12. Local Produce Fund. The Local Produce Fund is established within the Department of Education.
The fund is authorized to receive revenue from public and private sources. The fund must be held separate
and apart from all other money, funds and accounts. Any balance remaining in the fund at the end of the
fiscal year must be carried forward to the next fiscal year. The fund must be used to match $1 for every $3 a
school administrative unit pays for produce or minimally processed foods purchased directly from a farmer
or farmers' cooperative in the State, to a maximum state contribution of $1,000. At the end of the fiscal year,
the school administrative unit may provide the department with receipts documenting purchases pursuant
to this subsection during that year. For purposes of this subsection, "minimally processed" means only the
washing, cleaning, trimming, drying, sorting and packaging of food items or a combination of those activities.
Reimbursement or partial reimbursement to school administrative units may only be made up to the amount
available in the fund. Failure to reimburse does not constitute an obligation on behalf of the State to a school
administrative unit.
