Know What’s on the Tray Act of 2026

This bill would require schools in the federal school lunch or school breakfast programs to post information online about every menu item or food they serve, at least 7 days before serving it. The posting must include the item's name, its ingredients, its manufacturer or producer, where it was made, and whether it was locally sourced or produced on a family farm. Schools would have to promptly update the information if a menu item changes. The Secretary of Agriculture would issue rules within 180 days to help schools comply, and the requirements would start with the first school year beginning at least 18 months after the bill becomes law.
