Federal reimbursements, students' meal payments, and other nonprofit food service revenues cannot be used to subsidize meals served to adults. Breakfasts and lunches served to administrators, teachers, custodians, and other adults must be priced so that the adult payment is sufficient to cover the overall cost of the meals, including the value of any donated foods.

Good nutrition feeds successful learning.
The School Nutrition Programs help students get the nutrition they need to learn, grow, and develop. Your continued support for these programs is essential. Please ensure that the director of your School Nutrition Program complies with this regulatory information by the required deadlines.
