| National School Lunch Program | |
The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) was signed into law by President Harry Truman in 1946. The NSLP provides nutritionally balanced low-cost and free meals to students.
Within the federally funded NSLP:
*Nationwide, 95% of schools participate and over 30 million children are served daily
*Dietary guidelines dictate no more than 30 percent of calories can come from fat and less than 10 percent from saturated fat
*Over the course of one week, lunches must provide 1/3 of the Recommended Dietary Allowances of protein, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, iron, calcium and calories
*Well-balanced school lunches include protein, fruits and vegetables, grains and low-fat milk and are served in age-appropriate portions
