We made Koala Bites for everyone to enjoy. We also had students’ nutritional wellness in mind when choosing the ingredients and determining the recipes. That’s why these healthy snacks meet the nutritional guidelines of and are able to be served as grain-based desserts in the USDA’s School Breakfast Program (SBP) and National School Lunch Program (NSLP).
Smart Snacks in Schools is another initiative to improve the snack offerings for foods sold in schools throughout the day. These items are considered “competitive foods” to school meal programs and must meet Smart Snacks’ nutrition requirements. Koala Bites are Smart Snacks’ compliant, and can be sold and served as à la carte items in school cafeterias, stores, and vending.
