New Nutrition Standards for Idaho School Meals

The USDA is currently in the process of revising the school meal patterns and nutrition standards and has requested that all state agencies begin proactively implementing the applicable recommendations for the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans into Child Nutrition Programs. In response to the USDA's request, the Idaho State Department of Education Child Nutrition Programs office (CNP) took the proactive step to form a panel earlier this year and develop New Idaho Nutrition Standards for School Meal Programs.

Child Nutrition Programs recommends all School Food Authorities (SFAs) fully implement the new standards into their programs starting August 2009. All School Meals Initiative (SMI) Reviews conducted after August 2009 will include review of compliance with the new Idaho Nutrition Standards for School Meals.
