Description

Statement of Kay E. Brown, Dir., Education, Workforce, and Income Security. GAO. The National School Lunch Program served 31.6 million children in FY 2012, in part through $11.6 billion in federal supports. The most recent reauthorization of the program, the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 required that nutrition standards for school lunches be updated. As a result, the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture (USDA) issued final regulations aimed at providing lunches high in nutrients and low in calories that better meet the dietary needs of school children and required that many be implemented in school year 2012-2013. The new rules provide detailed requirements for meal components -- fruits, vegetables, grains, meats, and milk; update requirements for calories, sodium, and fats; and require that each studentäó»s lunch contain a fruit or vegetable. Figures. This is a print on demand report.
