School cafeterias are meeting tough new federal nutrition standards for school meals, ensuring that meals are well-balanced and provide students all the nutrition they need to succeed at school.  Now is a great time to encourage your kids to choose school meals!
 
The meals served in our schools have long included lots of fruits and vegetables, low-fat milk, and whole grains.  Beginning this year, school lunches will meet additional standards requiring:
  • Age-appropriate calorie limits
  • Larger servings of vegetables and fruits (students must take at least one serving of produce)
  • A guaranteed variety of vegetables, including dark green, red/orange, and starchy vegetables and legumes
  • Fat-free or 1% milk (flavored milk must be fat-free)
  • More whole grains
  • Less Sodium
