This webinar will equip school nutrition professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate upcoming changes to school meal standards, with a special focus on breakfast. We’ll begin with an overview of evolving requirements, including limits on added sugars and sodium, and explore how schools can prepare with practical strategies and turnkey solutions.
Central to this session is the Smart Swaps initiative, which offers student-tested recipes, sample menus, and practical planning tools to make breakfast offerings both compliant and appealing.
