In an effort to help students identify healthy foods, the University of Montana has expanded its Optimal Bear Approval (OBA) program.
The program, which was implemented in 2015, will debut in the campus’ corner store Monday, placing OBA stamps on select food items that promote healthy eating habits, reports the missoulian. Typically, the food items that are tagged are organic, all-natural, are limited in sugar and include no artificial color.
