    24. We are discussing the idea of creating an approved list but are hashing through the challenges. Some foundational issues are that there are thousands of new products introduced each year, and manufacturers are reformulating current products – translates into tremendous resources (financial and staffing) to create and maintain such a list. I have seen lists from various groups – I don’t recommend you use them at face value but check them against the requirements. I also recommend you do not take your vendor’s word either. Your district is ultimately responsible for ensuring the rules are being followed and the foods/beverages are compliant.We are discussing the idea of creating an approved list but are hashing through the challenges.
