LANSING USD 469 FOOD SERVICE PROGRAM
USD 469 participates in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National School Lunch and Breakfast Program. The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010was signed into law by the President on December 13, 2010. The Act provides for improved access to nutrition assistance that makes it easier for children to get nutritious affordable meals when they are away from home. The Act will not only improve the nutrition quality of school meals, but will improve the entire nutrition environment in schools. The Act also will help advance the goal of solving the problem of childhood obesity within a generation, which is at the heart of the First Lady’s Let’s Move! initiative. With hard work and dedication we can ensure your children have access to the healthy food they need to learn and grow.
Lunch menus are designed to provide one-third of the student’s Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for essential nutrients. Lunch menus are also monitored to be sure the average for total fat does not exceed 30% of calories and the average for saturated fat does not exceed 10% of calories.
