The National Lunch Program (NSLP)

The National School Lunch Program is a federally funded program for children that provides a nutritious meal that complies with Dietary Guidelines for Americans. For parents, the it is a convenient method of providing a nutritionally balanced lunch. For schools, the program enhances children's learning abilities by contributing to their physical and mental well being. Studies have shown that children whose nutritional needs are met have fewer attendance and discipline problems and are more attentive in class.

School Lunches must meet the following nutrition standards:

  • No more than 30% of calories from fat

  • Less than 10% from saturated fat

  • No artificial trans fat

  • 1/3 of the Recommended Daily Allowances for key nutrients
