What's for lunch 11/16/12

FROM THE RANCH TO YOU... Antibiotic/Hormone-Free (Local, NY State Beef)

Beef Burger/Cheeseburger 

Whole Grain Bun

 Oven-Baked Potato Wedges

Carrot sticks

Fresh Fruit

GF when taken without bun

After much work, discussion and research, our district has discontinued the use of most USDA commodity beef for a variety of health reasons and contracted with a New York State farm to provide beef raised without antibiotics and hormones. It is more expensive and there is less beef on the menu as a result but it is a huge improvement in the quality of our lunches. So, enjoy your hamburger on a whole grain bun. 


The potato wedges are from McCain. The ingredients are: Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (Contains One Or More Of The Following Oils: Canola, Soybean, Cottonseed, Sunflower, Corn), Corn Starch - Modified. Contains 2% or less of Annatto (color), Beta Carotene (color), Caramel Color, Corn Starch, Dehydrated Sweet Potatoes, Leavening (Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Sodium Bicarbonate), Natural Flavor (Contains Wheat), Rice Flour, Salt, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate Added To Maintain Natural Color, Sugar, Tapioca Dextrin, Xanthan Gum. 


The carrots sticks are fresh and so is the fruit. They are not organic.  This is a gluten free lunch when taken without the bun.
