School Lunch Entree Components Before and After Implementation of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010: A Secondary Data Analysis

The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act (HHFKA) 2010 updated standards to increase the quality and quantity of healthy items offered to students. Since HHFKA implementation, studies have focused primarily on fruit and vegetable selection and consumption, nutrient quality of whole meals, and plate waste. The goal of this study was to complete existing descriptions of the HHFKA’s impact by examining changes in nutrient quality and entrée quantity without inclusion of the required vegetable and fruit servings.
