A Closer Look at San Francisco Unified School District’s Food Service

San Francisco like many other cities across the country is challenged with:

Providing healthy, balanced meals
Maintaining a manageable budget
Meeting the National School Lunch Guidelines (link to USDA) for breakfast, lunch and snacks:

Less than 30% calories from fat
Less than 10% saturated fat
Guidelines for essential nutrients such as Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Calcium and Iron
Necessary protein and calories for active children

Following the SFUSD Wellness Policy guidelines established by the district
Feeding hungry children so they can learn

While this is no easy feat, our program does just that and more. Our meals:

Contain no artificial flavoring or colors
Are baked not fried
Contain O grams of trans fat except for naturally occurring fats in beef and cheese which are not considered a health risk
