As part of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act (HHFKA), all school nutrition professionals receive annual training hours to meet the USDA Professional Standards. These standards ensure that school nutrition personnel have the knowledge, training, and tools to plan, prepare, and purchase healthy products to create nutritious, safe, and enjoyable school meals.
