We are starting the school year with some new and exciting kid-friendly, culturally diverse fare. You’ll want to be sure to add these tasty, easy to prepare items to this year’s school menu! You can get an up-close view of these items by watching this Ignite 2024 Event Recap from ANC that includes an interview with E S Foods’ Chef Clayton at our booth.
A key message coming from the Food Research & Action Center’s (FRAC) recently released report, The Reach of School Breakfast and Lunch During the 2022–2023 School Year, is: Healthy School meals for All policies and maximizing participation in Community Eligibility Provision are important strategies to ensure access to school meals. This combined with proven best practices for increasing participation, such as implementing innovative breakfast models and serving high-quality meals is the path forward.
ANC is just around the corner – we hope to see you in Denver! Be sure to stop by our booth #1309 to sample several NEW PRODUCTS and see our very own Chef Clayton’s culinary demo.
Does your school district offer a School Breakfast program? Recent data shows that only half of the children who eat school lunch also get their breakfast at school. USDA Food and Nutrition Service has opened applications for the Fiscal Year 2023 School Breakfast Expansion Grants, which will provide schools with funds to prepare nutritious, appealing breakfasts.
