The main purpose of this legislation, known as the "Know What's on the Tray Act of 2026," is to enhance transparency in school meal programs. It aims to ensure that schools participating in the school lunch and breakfast programs provide detailed information about the food items they serve. This is intended to help parents, students, and the community understand what is being offered in school meals. Key provisions of the law require schools to publish specific information about each menu item or food served in their lunch or breakfast programs.
