Snack Smart® Criteria
 nacks displaying the Snack Smart® logo meet criteria which were developed by our nutrition staff. Our staff reviewed nutritional guidelines and policies of respected public health organizations, such as USDA and FDA, and developed criteria intended to give our consumers a practical tool for making smart choices when choosing snacks and sweet treats.

-
No more than 200 total calories.*
-
No more than 35% of total calories from fat.*
-
No more than 10% of total calories from saturated fat.
-
Zero grams of trans fat.
-
Less than 240 mg of sodium.
