Local schools weigh in on salt, sugar limits in proposed school meal plans

A major overhaul for school lunches could be coming, and schools already had a feeling it would happen. It would be the first major change in school meals in years. “It wasn’t a surprise to us. We’re used to adapting to the new recommendations,” said Dustin Walker, the director of child nutrition at the Queen Creek Unified School District. The U.S. Department of Agriculture released a proposed plan to limit sugar and reduce salt in school meals in the next few years.
