School meals are never super-sized! Federal law requires every school meal to provide age-appropriate portions.
Every school lunch offers students their choice of at least two servings of fruits and vegetables.
School lunches meet strict limits on fat – no more than 30% of calories can come from fat and less than 10% from saturated fat!
Federal law prohibits the sale of soda in the cafeteria - every school meal comes with low-fat or fat-free milk.
Fat-free flavored milk has the same 9 essential nutrients as white milk, including calcium, protein, vitamins A and D, and potassium.
New nutrition standards require even more whole grains, fruits and vegetables, while limiting sodium and calories in school meals.
Many schools serve pizza made with whole grain crust, low-fat cheese and low-sodium sauce.
