Secretary of Agriculture George E. (Sonny) Perdue on May 1 announced the U.S. Department of Agriculture will provide school districts greater flexibility in meeting the nutrition standards for school meals required under the Healthy and Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. Specifically, Mr. Perdue relaxed the requirement that 100% of grains served as part of school meals during the 2017-18 school year be whole grain-rich, delayed the requirement that school meals comply with the more stringent Target 2 sodium limits until after 2020, and indicated 1%-fat flavored milk again may be served in school cafeterias.
