Nutrition Guidelines
The US government initiated school meals programs to "safeguard the health and well-being of the Nation's children." Schools must serve meals that are consistent with Dietary Guidelines for Americans which recently, include: "eat a variety of foods; choose a diet with plenty of grain products, vegetables and fruits; choose a diet moderate in sugars and salt; and choose a diet with 30% or less calories from fat and less than 10% of calories from saturated fat."
The meal patterns have been designed to contribute, at a minimum 1/4 of the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) for breakfast and 1/3 of the RDA for school-age children.
