Extractions: COMPETITIVE FOODS Also available as PDF This paper is part of a series of nutrition policy profiles prepared by Prevention Institute for the Center for Health Improvement (CHI). Background The proliferation of competitive foods has raised concern among public health officials, parents, teachers, and others since many of these foods can undermine children's diets and health. National studies have found that 78 percent of high schools, 65 percent of middle schools, and 31 percent of elementary schools offered foods a la carte. A la carte items are foods sold individually by school food service during meal times rather than as part of a complete National School Lunch Program meal. A recent California study found that in 71 percent of surveyed school districts, a la carte items accounted for up to 70 percent of all food sales at schools, with popular items including fast foods such as pizza, cookies, and chips. Unlike the National School Lunch Program, these foods are not required to meet any nutritional standards. The high presence of fast foods as a la carte items is a concern, as they tend to be of limited nutritional value and contain high levels of fat, salt, and sugar.
