In school districts across the country, menu planners face a daily challenge in developing meals using food from their distributors that satisfy both the picky palates of kids and the nutritional concerns of their parents while adhering to recent legislation that has emphasized the role of schools in promoting a healthy lifestyle among students.

In keeping with new governmental regulations, school officials must retool their menus to meet stricter nutritional requirements, but how can they be sure their school food distributor measures up?
