Work in Action

The International Fresh Produce Association

The International Fresh Produce Association’s investment of $10,000 supported the request of the Urban School Food Alliance and other school nutrition directors to create low-sugar school breakfast recipes that feature a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. This will help schools meet USDA’s proposed added sugar targets. Family version recipes for schools to send home with families are also being explored.
