Child Nutrition Services
Child Nutrition Services is committed to providing high-quality and nutritious food options in our cafeterias while adhering to the strict regulations set forth by the United States Department of Agriculture for school meal programs. These regulations ensure that our meals meet certain nutritional standards, supporting students' growth and development while reducing their risk of chronic diseases. By complying with these guidelines, Child Nutrition Services can guarantee that the meals are not only safe and of high quality but also provide the necessary nutrients for students.
Our district's nutrition program is committed to serving a wide variety of fruits and vegetables and whole grain products that are lower in sodium and saturated fat. This dedication to offering healthy food options ensures that students can access nutritious and beneficial meals for their overall health. It's important to note that the meals served in your school's cafeteria are a healthier alternative to typical fast food options that students may be accustomed to. By providing meals high in nutrients and low in unhealthy ingredients, your school promotes healthy eating habits and sets a positive example for students. If you want more detailed information on the food items served in your school's cafeteria, please call (619) 425-9600. Our registered dietitians can offer valuable information on the nutritional value of the food and answer any questions you may have.
