Expertise in USDA Regulations

School districts that participate in federally funded child nutrition programs must address multiple and often complex federal, state and local requirements. We bring your district unmatched resources and expertise to successfully navigate the complexities of this challenging environment. Our chefs, dietitians, supply chain and compliance experts proactively address nutrition-related regulatory changes. We use the science-based frameworks outlined in the Dietary Guidelines for America and MyPlate in the development of our menus and student nutrition programs.

Insights & Industry Expertise

Only by getting to know what  students want in their food service program can we craft the menus and programs that we know they will embrace and participate in on a regular basis. Our robust student, parent, and community feedback tools and consumer research enable us to tailor meals and other program features specifically created for the district.
