The burrrito bowl is a new item this year. The brown rice is a great whole grain. The black beans are canned. The southwest-style chicken is from Tyson and described as diced, cooked "chicken meat." Read more about farm animals raised by industrial giants like Tyson, antibiotics and hormones. The bowl comes from Smokewood Foods. The ingredients are described just as "enriched masa flour" and they look like a big rectangular corn chip. They have 5g of fat and no sodium. The corn is frozen. I believe everything else is homemade. Not quite sure of the ingredients of the vinaigrette but it is from scratch. I would skip the chicken and go for the veggie version. I know its important to get protein but I am not so sure the Tyson strips are the best choice. The fruit is fresh. Salad and sandwich bar are available.
I do have to say this is strides ahead from the tacos we used to serve in the cafeterias ! Julia Van Loon ( School Food Reform Consultant) along with all the women that work behind the scenes in the cafeteria have done a bang up job !! They work so hard to provide our children with healthier options. I honestly can't praise them enough. On that positive note ..... enjoy the weekend !
