Good-bye mystery meat and hello nutritious school meals. That’s because today’s meals and entrées are redefining the nation’s school lunch programs by providing nutritious offerings for kids of all ages.
Gluten-free continues to receive an A
Elevation Brands, LLC, Framingham, Mass., and Slade Gorton, Boston, launched a host of gluten-free, allergen-friendly “center of the plate” Child Nutrition (CN) products for the school foodservice industry. Sold under the Ian’s and ICYBAY brands, these products meet all nutrition standards for the School Lunch Program as defined by the Food and Nutrition Service of the USDA. The new line features two chicken and six fish options with two distinct gluten-free and allergy-friendly whole grain batter and breading systems. The product line will carry the CN designation from the USDA, providing assurance to schools in the K-12 market that the products meet nutritional requirements.
