Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 38, September 20, 2024

19.1. The nutritional goal for school lunches is to provide approximately one-third of the RDA as specified by the National Research Council/National Academy of Sciences. It is expected that each lunch each day will provide one-third of the RDA for calories but not necessarily for all nutrients. However, when averaged over a period of time it is expected that the RDAs will be met.

19.2. In developing the USDA meal requirements, amounts of food energy (calories) and nutrients for adequate food composition data were considered. Additionally, since the meal requirements allow for a variety of foods, it is assumed that other nutrients for which no RDA have been established or for which inadequate food composition data are available will also be supplied.
