What's in a school Meal?
School meals offer students milk, fruits and vegetables, proteins and grains – and they must meet strict limits on saturated fat and portion size. Starting this fall, school lunches throughout the county will meet additional standards, including:
• Age-appropriate calorie limits for elementary, middle and high school meals.
• Larger servings of veggies and fruits: Students must take at least one serving (½ cup) of fruits or vegetables with their school lunch at all grade levels.
• A wider variety of vegetables, including offerings of dark green and red/ orange vegetables and legumes.
• Fat-free or 1% milk will be offered, with flavored milk only available fat-free!
• More whole grains: Greater than 50% of bread items offered in school cafeterias will now be whole grain.
• Reduction of sodium in school meals will be gradual with the end goal of 740 mg of sodium per meal on average.

Acceptance and participation requirements for the program and all activities are the same for all regardless of race, color, national origin, gender, sex, religion, age, or disability and there will be no discrimination in the course of the meal service.
