NANA letter to USDA during Child Nutrition Rulemaking

The National Alliance for Nutrition and Activity urges USDA to:
• Preserve and strengthen current evidence-based standards
• Work with Congress to ensure sufficient funding to implement updates – taking into
consideration food, labor, infrastructure, and equipment costs
• Expand technical assistance programs
• Engage the food industry to ensure sufficient supply of products child nutrition
programs will need to procure to meet new standards
• Prioritize timely release of nationally representative research such as the School
Nutrition and Meal Cost Study II and use findings to drive policy
