Commitment to Healthy Food

NVUSD is committed to providing healthy foods with the highest quality ingredients to the students in our district.

We have implemented a clean-label initiative, in partnership with the Life Time Foundation, which helps schools remove what it calls the Harmful 7 from student breakfast and lunch menus:

Trans Fats and Hydrogenated Oils
High Fructose Corn Syrup
Hormones and Antibiotics in Animal Production
Added and Artificial Sweeteners
Artificial Colors and Flavors
Artificial Preservatives
Bleached Flour

Our team of dedicated food service professionals supports student academic success and promotes healthful eating habits that lead to lifelong positive nutrition practices.

California Thursdays
