Standards for Nutrition Integrity

Abstract:
This article reports the results of a research project designed to identify standards for the eleven Nutrition Integrity Core Concepts designed by the American School Food Service Association. A Delphi process was used to determine consensus from child nutrition program professionals and nutrition experts. A total of 72 standards resulted. The Nutrition Integrity Standards provide the basis for conducting operation assessments and give direction for the development of continuous improvement plans for child nutrition program operations. These standards are not designed to be regulatory but rather to provide goals for managers to work toward continuous improvement of the quality of their operations.
