Back-to-School Allergen Planning

In order to ensure food allergens can be accurately articulated to children and their parents, school districts should be providing traceable nutritional information that comes from a trusted and reliable provider. Enabling access to a robust repository of accurate, consistent product information will enable everyone to stay informed and safe.

By partnering with food service suppliers that take product transparency seriously by investing in trusted data management systems, Manzo adds, cafeteria and school employees have the opportunity to show every nutritional aspect of their products, from allergens, organic, and GMO claims, allowing the conversation to move away from responding to food-based emergency situations, and more towards facilitating prevention and maintenance.
