Title: ●Child Nutrition Programs: Flexibilities for Milk, Whole Grains, and Sodium Requirements | |
Abstract:
This interim final rule provides flexibilities consistent with those currently available to Program operators participating in the Child Nutrition Programs beginning in School Year 2018-2019. These flexibilities include: (1) providing operators the option to offer flavored, low-fat (1 percent fat) milk in the Child Nutrition Programs; (2) extending the State agencies’ option to allow individual school food authorities to include grains that are not whole grain-rich in the weekly menu offered under the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP); and (3) revising the sodium reduction timeline for the NSLP and SBP. |
