Thank you for visiting the Foods for Healthy Schools (FHS) information page. FHS will be a database of food and beverage products that comply with the California Nutrition Standards. *

At this time, the California Department of Education (CDE) plans to house the FHS database on the United States Department of Agriculture Web site. Additional information will be added to this Web page when it becomes available. Please refer to the CDE’s Web pages for more information about competitive foods and beverages, and check back soon for updates on the FHS database. *

For additional questions please contact Michael Danzik at mdanzik@cde.ca.gov or 916–445-7346, or Elizabeth Moreno at emoreno@cde.ca.gov or 916–324-9749 at the CDE.
