The School Nutrition Foundation (SNF) in partnership with the National Dairy Council will be offering a FREE Wednesday Webinar on Wednesday, August 24, 2011 from 2:00-3:15 pm EDT, entitled “Menu Changes to Meet the New Proposed Meal Patterns”
This webinar will explore the menu and procurement changes, which meet the new proposed meal patterns, of three school nutrition professionals. Hear how they have reduced sodium, introduced whole grains, and increased the variety and servings of fruits and vegetables.
