CSPI comments to USDA re: child nutrition program transitional standards

CSPI submits these comments in response to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s “Child Nutrition Programs: Transitional Standards for Milk, Whole Grains, and Sodium” final rule (87 FR 6984), which will provide necessary flexibility to schools for SY 2022-2023 and SY 2023-2024 as they respond to and recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. CSPI urges the USDA to align school meals with the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, particularly with respect to added sugars, sodium, and whole grains in the rulemaking expected later this year.

The healthiest crackers: Don't bother puttin' on the Ritz

Crackers have a healthier image than chips, but many don’t deserve it. Who needs those refined carbs? Not these crackers. They’re 100 percent whole grain (or seeds) and delish. Many go light on salt, so there’s room for cheese, hummus, etc.
