Compliance with New Standards
We are excited to see the upcoming changes to the National School Lunch Program, to be implemented 2024-2027. These changes will take place in areas like reduced sugar and sodium in ingredients and the definition of "local" to school food service buyers. This aligns well with our meats as we do not add fillers, preservatives, or added sodium and sugar! Read more:
