The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 required the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) to update federal nutrition standards for school meals. Schools participating in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs must meet the following standards. Note: In February 2022, USDA issued transitional nutrition standards for School Year SY2022-23 and SY2023-24 to ease requirements due to pandemic challenges. During SY2022-23, schools that cannot meet these standards due to supply chain disruptions will not be penalized.
