What's for Lunch - Tues., 11/6

No Salad Bar Lunch!

Please Note that the lunch menu has changed from the Nov. menu you received in backpacks today.

Here's the revised menu:

Cup of Soup
All White Meat Chicken “Bites”
Whole Grain Roll
Sweet Corn
Limited Salad Bar
Fresh Fruit

I think the chicken "bites" are similar to the "tenders" -- in other words, nuggets. The chicken is from Tyson. The ingredients are: Chicken breast tenderloins, water, modified food starch, sodium phosphates, salt. PREDUSTED WITH: Enriched wheat flour (enriched with niacin, reduced iron, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), wheat gluten, salt. BATTERED WITH: Water, enriched bleached wheat flour (enriched with niacin, reduced iron, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), modified corn starch, salt, dextrose, spices, garlic powder, xanthan gum, oleoresin paprika and annatto. BREADED WITH: Enriched wheat flour (enriched with niacin, reduced iron, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), salt, spices, garlic powder, extractives of paprika, natural flavors (spice extractives). Breading set in vegetable oil.  The serving size of two pieces - which is what elemntary students get - has 14g of fat and 580mg of sodium.

Whole grain roll - which may be partial vs fully whole grain. The corn is canned and has added salt - 200mg per serving and the cans do contain BPA. There will be fresh fruit of some kind.

We lost the local beef we were to serve today in the storm.  Three cheers for the food service dept for pulling off a hot lunch today after the week we had! It was tough for a lot of people to get to work - no power, no gas - but they did for our kids. Thank you!
