The Chicago Public Schools are unveiling new nutritional standards for the breakfasts and lunches served on their campuses.
CPS officials will discuss the changes at an event Wednesday morning. They’ll offer samples of some of the new offerings. The new standards will be put in place next school year. The standards will continue the ban on trans fat and deep frying. They’ll also make fruits and vegetables more readily available in schools. CPS says the standards will let the country’s third-largest district exceed the Agriculture Department’s Gold Standard of the HealthierUS School Challenge. Copyright 2010 The Associated Press.
