Objective:
To compare beverages and foods selected by high school students on days when juice was offered (juice days) and not offered (non-juice days) with the reimbursable school meal.
Methods:
Lunch register data from 386 days across 3 low-income Northeast high schools were used to compare juice and non-juice days for average daily selections of meal components and à la carte water and 100% juice sales.
Results:
On juice days, 9.9% fewer milks (P < .01) and 7.4% fewer fruits (P < .01) were selected with lunches. In addition, on juice days, 8.2% fewer bottles of water and 24.4% fewer bottles of 100% juice were sold à la carte (P < .05).
Conclusions And Implications:
Reducing juice availability in the reimbursable school lunch may increase selection of milk and fruit. Future research is warranted to assess how juice availability influences selection of milk, fruit, and water across a range of student populations.
