SENATE BILL 965 (ESCUTIA)

Elementary School Beverage Standards (California Education Code sections 49431 and 49431.5)

Regardless of the time of day, only the following beverages may be sold to pupil:

• Fruit-based drinks with no less than 50 percent fruit juice and no added sweeteners

• Vegetable-based drinks with no less than 50 percent vegetable juice and no added sweeteners

• Drinking water with no added sweeteners

• Milk (Two-percent fat, one-percent fat, nonfat, soy milk, rice milk, or other similar nondairy milk)

Noncompliant beverages may be sold for fundraising events if the items are sold by pupils and either the sale takes place off of and away from school premises or the sale takes place at least one-half hour after the end of the school day.

Middle and Junior High School Beverage Standards (California Education Code sections 49431.2 and 49431.5)

From one-half hour before to one-half hour after the end of the school day, only the following beverages may be sold to pupils:

• Fruit-based drinks with no less than 50 percent fruit juice and no added sweeteners

• Vegetable-based drinks with no less than 50 percent vegetable juice and no added sweeteners

• Drinking water with no added sweeteners

• Milk (Two-percent fat, one-percent fat, nonfat, soy milk, rice milk, or other similar nondairy milk)

• Electrolyte replacement beverages containing no more than 42 grams of sugar per 20-ounce serving

Noncompliant beverages may be sold up to one-half hour before school and following one-half hour after school.

High School Beverage Standards (California Education Code sections 49431.2 and 49431.5)

Beverage standards specified for middle and junior high schools are phased in between July 1, 2007 (when 50 percent of beverages sold to pupils must meet standards) and July 1, 2009 (when 100 percent of beverages sold to pupils must meet standards).

Please note that while the statute does not specify that high schools are included, they are also not exempted. Specifically, EC 49431.5(b)(1) states “Commencing July 1, 2007, no less than 50 percent of all beverages sold to a pupil…” must comply. Thus, as of July 1, 2007, the beverage standards set forth in SB 965 include high schools.

As certain beverages will begin being phased out, it is also important to point out the requirements regarding sodas – which are currently allowed in high schools, except during meal periods. But, after July 1, 2009 only beverages that comply with SB 965 can be sold to pupils.
