Lunchables will begin serving students meals in school cafeterias as part of new government program.
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 National School Lunch program requirements, will be served in K-12 schools nationwide, beginning this fall. Kraft Heinz described on its website, the Lunchable products that it said are "built for schools" and "now meet NSLP" guidelines. The NSLP, established in 1946, provides lunch daily to nearly 30 million students in public and nonprofit private schools and residential child care institutions.
