PolicyLab responded to a request for public comment from the U.S. Department of Agriculture on the Proposed Rule on Child Nutrition Programs: Revisions to Meal Patterns Consistent with the 2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. 

In their response, PolicyLab experts offer their support of updates to the school nutrition program such as sodium limits for certain products, and provide additional recommendations to strengthen USDA proposals around added sugars, unflavored milk and whole grains.
