Welcome to Western Dubuque Schools Food Service Department.
The "Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act" requirements for all schools across the nation went into effect July 1, 2012.
We are happy to announce that all of our menus comply with the new regulations!
In an effort to make the transition more acceptable for our students, we have been working towards meeting goals by making changes to our meals. Offering a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, only offering 1% or skim milk options and implementing a large amount of whole grain products. Whole grains can be found in breads, buns, pizza crust, pasta, baked items, snacks and breaded products. We are also continuously updating the food products we use to decrease the amount of sodium and by using products that contain zero grams of trans-fat per serving.
All meals provide approximately 1/3 of the recommended daily allowance for lunch and 1/4 for breakfast as required by the USDA
