USDA Issues Transitional School Nutrition Regulations
Feb. 8, 2022
President Joe Biden's administration has established transitional USDA nutrition standards for flavored milk, whole grain offerings and sodium levels beginning in the 2022-23 school year. "School nutrition professionals are frantic just trying to get enough food on the tray for our students amid relentless supply chain disruptions and labor shortages," Beth Wallace, president of the School Nutrition Association, said in a statement, adding that SNA hopes to work with the USDA "to assess the viability of nutrition standards moving forward."
