What's for Lunch - Mon., 12/3

CHICKEN PARMIGIANA (Order Entree #1)
Whole Grain Roll
OR
Cup of Soup (Order Entree #2)
1/2 Chicken Caesar Wrap
Sweet Corn
More Salad Bar Veggie Sides
Fresh Grapes

For the chicken, the sauce is a Red Pack vitamin enhanced tomato sauce. The sodium at 140mg is much lower than we previously used.  Here are the ingredients: Tomato Concentrate (Water, Tomato Paste), Sugar, Soybean Oil, Potassium Chloride, Onion Powder, Salt, Citric Acid, Spice, Garlic Powder, Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), Black Pepper, Vitamin E (DL-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate), Natural Flavor, Vitamin A (Retinol Palmitate).

The chicken itself is a pre-cooked breaded Tyson chicken product. The ingredients are: Boneless, skinless chicken breast filets with rib meat, 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.  Their serving size has 10g of fat (2 of which are saturated) and 620 mg of sodium.


The roll is at least partially whole grain.

I'm not sure what the soup is - except that the menu no longer says 'vegetarian'. 

The chicken caesar wrap is also made with Tyson chicken and the wrap is not whole grain.

The corn is canned and has added salt - 200mg per serving and the cans do contain BPA.

The grapes are fresh but conventional (not organic) and grapes are known to have high levels of residual pesticides.
