Kraft Heinz has succeeded in getting its ready-to-eat packaged Lunchables into school lunch programs starting this fall, in a major new initiative.
But the company had to reformulate the ingredients to ensure the products meet federal guidelines first.
Carlos Abrams-Rivera, an executive vice president with Kraft Heinz, said two new varieties of Lunchables , with "improved nutrition" that comply with the NSLP requirements, will be served in K-12 schools nationwide, beginning this fall. The packaging for the turkey and cheddar Lunchables option is described as a 3.5 ounce container. The document said it contains 2-ounce equivalents MMA , one ounce equivalent of grain and "meets whole grain rich criteria" of the NSLP. Kraft Heinz said Tuesday that it contains 6g of saturated fat and 930mg of sodium.
While school meals are paid for by local and federal funding, the standards for what goes on a kids' cafeteria tray are set by the USDA.
