Think fresh with natural sweetness and avoid that foods with added salt and sugars!

Best Practice: Avoid serving non-creditable foods that are sources of added sugars, such as sweet toppings (e.g. honey, jam, syrum), mix-in ingredients sold with yogurt (e.g. honey, candy or cookie peices) and sugar-sweetened beverages (e.g. fruit drinks or sodas).
