Nutrition Standards in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs (US Food and Nutrition Service Regulation) (FNS) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Nutrition Standards in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs (US Food and Nutrition Service Regulation) (FNS) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 This final rule updates the meal patterns and nutrition standards for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs to align them with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. This rule requires most schools to increase the availability of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free and low-fat fluid milk in school meals; reduce the levels of sodium, saturated fat and trans fat in meals; and meet the nutrition needs of school children within their calorie requirements. These improvements to the school meal programs, largely based on recommendations made by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies, are expected to enhance the diet and health of school children, and help mitigate the childhood obesity trend.
