There are many stringent regulations to be in compliance with the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010.Key changes for school menus:

There will be food-based (calorie) menu planning for three grade groups: K-5, 6-8 and 9-12. Portion sizes and recipes will be designed to meet the specific group.

There will be calorie minimum and maximum levels.

More fruits and vegetables will be available. 

Students must select at least 1/2 cup of fruit or vegetable component for their trays (to allow the district to be reimbursed for a meal by the federal government).

No trans fats are allowed, and there are continued limits on saturated fat. We add no butter to our vegetables, use only low-fat cheeses and lean proteins, and oven bake instead of fry all items.

Milk choices will be: 1% white and fat free chocolate.
