In 2010, California passed legislation to establish nutrition standards for beverages served in licensed child care centers and family child care homes. The standards (below) went into effect on January 1, 2012!
• Only unflavored, unsweetened, nonfat (fat free, skim, 0%) or lowfat (1%) milk can be served to children 2 years of age or older.
• No beverages with ADDED sweeteners (natural or artificial) can be served, including soda, sweet tea, juice drinks, flavored milk and diet drinks.
• A maximum of ONE serving (4-6 ounces for 1-6 year olds) of 100% juice is allowed per day.
• Clean and safe drinking water must be available at all times, including meals and snacks.
Keep children hydrated and healthy. Replace other high-calorie, sweetened beverages that are served outside of meal times with plain, unflavored, noncarbonated water.
• Help build and maintain strong teeth if water includes fluoride. Many community tap water supplies contain fluoride. Most bottled water is not fluoridated. Bottled water is not necessarily safer than regular tap water, and it’s more expensive.
• Help rinse food from teeth and reduce acid in the mouth, both of which contribute to dental cavities.
• Help children develop a habit of drinking water that they will keep for life.
